A projectile is fired over level ground with an initial velocity that has a vertical component of 20 m/s and a horizontal compon

Anettt [7]

First of all, let's write the equation of motions on both horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axis. It's a uniform motion on the x-axis, with constant speed $v_x=30 m/s$ , and an accelerated motion on the y-axis, with initial speed $v_y=20 m/s$ and acceleration $g=9.81 m/s^2$ :
$S_x(t)=v_xt$
$S_y(t)=v_y t- \frac{1}{2} gt^2$
where the negative sign in front of g means the acceleration points towards negative direction of y-axis (downward).

To find the distance from the landing point, we should find first the time at which the projectile hits the ground. This can be found by requiring
$S_y(t)=0$
Therefore:
$v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2=0$
which has two solutions:
$t=0$ is the time of the beginning of the motion,
$t= \frac{2 v_y}{g} = \frac{2\cdot 20 m/s}{9.81 m/s^2}=4.08 s$ is the time at which the projectile hits the ground.

Now, we can find the distance covered on the horizontal axis during this time, and this is the distance from launching to landing point:
$S_x(4.08 s)=v_x t=(30 m/s)(4.08 s)=122.4 m$

Two satellites, A and B are in different circular orbits

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The ratio of the orbital time periods of A and B is $\frac{1}{2}$

Solution:

As per the question:

The orbit of the two satellites is circular

Also,

Orbital speed of A is 2 times the orbital speed of B

$v_{oA} = 2v_{oB}$ (1)

Now, we know that the orbital speed of a satellite for circular orbits is given by:

$v_{o} = \farc{2\piR}{T}$

where

R = Radius of the orbit

Now,

For satellite A:

$v_{oA} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}$

Using eqn (1):

$2v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}$ (2)

For satellite B:

$v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{b}}$ (3)

Now, comparing eqn (2) and eqn (3):

$\frac{T_{a}}{T_{b}} = \farc{1}{2}$

A series AC circuit contains a resistor, an inductor of 150 mH, a capacitor of 5.00 mF, and a generator with DVmax 5 240 V opera

yanalaym [24]

Given:

Inductance, L = 150 mH

Capacitance, C = 5.00 mF

$\Delta V_{max}$ = 240 V

frequency, f = 50Hz

$I_{max}$ = 100 mA

Solution:

To calculate the parameters of the given circuit series RLC circuit:

angular frequency, $\omega$ = $2\pi f = 2\pi \times50 = 100\pi$

a). Inductive reactance, $X_{L}$ is given by:

$\X_{L} = \omega L = 100\pi \times 150\times 10^{-3} = 47.12\Omega$

$X_{L} = 47.12\Omega$

b). The capacitive reactance, $X_{C}$ is given by:

$\X_{C} = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{2\pi fC} = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 50\times 5.00\times 10^{-3}} = 0.636\Omega$

$X_{C} = 0.636\Omega$

c). Impedance, Z = $\frac{\Delta V_{max}}{I_{max}} = \frac{240}{100\times 10^{-3}} = 2400\Omega$

$Z = 2400\Omega$

d). Resistance, R is given by:

$Z = \sqrt {R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})}$

$2400^{2} = R^{2} + (47.12 - 0.636)^{2}$

$R = \sqrt {5757839.238}$

$R = 2399.5\Omega$

e). Phase angle between current and the generator voltage is given by:

$tan\phi = \frac{X_{L} - X_{C}}{R}$

$\phi =tan^{-1}( \frac{X_{L} - X_{C}}{R})$

$\phi =tan^{-1}( \frac{47.12 - 0.636}{2399.5}) = tan^{-1}{0.0.01937}$

$\phi = 1.11^{\circ}$

The International Space Station has a mass of 1.8 × 105 kg. A 70.0-kg astronaut inside the station pushes off one wall of the st

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2$

Explanation:

Since the system is in international space station

so here we can say that net force on the system is zero here

so Force by the astronaut on the space station = Force due to space station on boy

so here we know that

mass of boy = 70 kg

acceleration of boy = $1.50 m/s^2$

now we know that

$F = ma$

$F = 70(1.50) = 105 N$

now for the space station will be same as above force

$F = ma$

$105 = 1.8 \times 10^5 (a)$

$a = \frac{105}{1.8 \times 10^5}$

$a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2$
