An explosive projectile is launched straight upward to a maximum height h. At its peak, it explodes, scattering particles in all

directions. Assume each particle has the same initial speed v after the explosion. What is the smallest angle that the final velocity of a particle will make with the horizontal upon hitting the ground

Answer:

θ = tan⁻¹ (\frac{19.6 \ h}{v})

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using projectile launch ratios. Let's analyze the situation, the projectile explodes at the highest point, therefore we fear the height (i = h), the speed at this point is the same, but the direction changes, we are asked to find the smallest angle of the speed in the point of arrival with respect to the x-axis.

The speed at the arrival point (y = 0)

           v² = vₓ² + v_y²

Let's see how this angle changes, for two extreme values:

* The particle that falls from the point of explosion, in this case the speed is vertical

         v = v_y

the angle with the horizontal is 90º

* The particle leaves horizontally from the point of the explosion, the initial velocity is horizontal

         vₓ = v

the final velocity for y = 0

         v_f = vₓ² + v_y²

therefore the angle has a value greater than zero and less than 90º

As they ask for the smallest angle, we can see that we must solve the last case

the output velocity is horizontal vₓ = v

Let's find the velocity when it hits the ground y = 0, with y₀ = h

            v_{y}^2 = v_{oy}^2 - 2 g (y-y₀)

            v_{y}^2 = - 2g (0- y₀)

let's calculate

           v_{y}^2 = 2 9.8 h

         

we use trigonometry to find the angle

        tan θ = \frac{v_y}{v_x}

        θ = tan⁻¹ (\frac{v_y}{v_x})

let's calculate

         θ = tan⁻¹ (\frac{19.6 \ h}{v})

maw [93]

Answer:

shrinks with all the fringes getting narrower

Explanation:

As the light passes through the slit, the diffraction pattern shrinks, as the waves have more opening to penetrate, and the fringes becomes more narrow as a result of that, The opposite happens as the conditions are reversed.

What is the kinetic energy of a 120-cm thin uniform rod with a mass of 450 g that is rotating about its center at 3.60 rad/s?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

1.05 J.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J). The formula of kinetic energy is given as

Ek = 1/2mv²................. Equation 1

Where Ek = kinetic energy, m = mass of the uniform rod, v = liner velocity of the rod.

But,

v = αr .......................... Equation 2

Where α = angular velocity of the rod, r = radius of the circle.

Given: α = 3.6 red/s, r = 120/2 = 60 cm = 0.6 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 3.6(0.6)

v = 2.16 m/s.

Also given: m = 450 g = 0.45 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(0.45)(2.16²)

Ek = 1.05 J.

Thermometer is preferred fir very cold region give reason​
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

alcohol thermometer is preferred for a very cold region. Alcohol thermometer is preferred for a very cold region because its freezing point of alcohol is - 117°C. So, it can measure the temperature of the very cold region.
