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})

A 75 kg man and a 100. Kg woman are playing tug of war on a frictionless surface. The man accelerates toward the woman at 2.0 m/
Artemon [7]

Complete Question

A 75 kg man and a 100. Kg woman are playing tug of war on a frictionless surface. The man accelerates toward the woman at 2.0 m/s2.How much force does she use to pull on the rope

Answer:

The value is  F  =  150 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the man is  m_m   =  75 \  kg

     The mass of the woman is  m_f  =  100 \  kg

     The acceleration of the man is  a_m  =  2.0 \  m/s ^2

Generally the force which she used to pull the rope is mathematically represented as  

           F  =  m  *  a

=>         F  =  75 *  2

=>         F  =  150 \  N

1) An average soccer ball has a mass of .4 kg. If a soccer ball is kicked with a force of 750 Newtons, what is the acceleration
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

#1 uses Newton's 2nd Law: F = ma so filling in:

750 = .4a and

a = 1875 m/s/s

#2 uses d = rt so

d = 12.3(25) and

d = 307.5 m

A ball is tossed upward to height of 10m and falls back to its original position the total trip up and down takes approximately
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

1s

Explanation:

The time going up equals the time going down.  So if the total time was 2s, the time rising was half that, or 1s.
