A 2.0-kg projectile is fired with initial velocity components v0x = 30 m/s and v0y = 40 m/s from a point on the Earth's surface.
EleoNora [17]

(a) The kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is 900 J.

(b) The work done  in firing the projectile is 2,500 J.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the projectile at maximum height</h3>

The kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv₀ₓ²

where;

  • m is mass of the projectile
  • v₀ₓ is the initial horizontal component of the velocity at maximum height

<u>Note:</u> At maximum height the final vertical velocity is zero and the final horizontal velocity is equal to the initial horizontal velocity.

K.E = (0.5)(2)(30²)

K.E = 900 J

<h3>Work done in firing the projectile</h3>

Based on the principle of conservation of energy, the work done in firing the projectile is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the projectile.

W = K.E(i) = ¹/₂mv²

where;

  • v is the resultant velocity

v = √(30² + 40²)

v = 50 m/s

W = (0.5)(2)(50²)

W = 2,500 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is 900 J.

The work done  in firing the projectile is 2,500 J.

The earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 N/C and directed in toward the c
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The force of repulsion between two people is 13.851\times 10^{6} newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

Explanation:

a) From Second Newton's Law, we form this equation of equilibrium:

\Sigma F = F_{E}-W = 0 (Eq. 1)

Where:

F_{E} - Electrostatic force exerted on human, measured in Newton.

W - Weight of the human, measured in Newton.

If we consider that human can be represented as a particle and make use of definitions of electric field and weight, the previous equation is expanded and electric charge is cleared afterwards:

q\cdot E-m\cdot g = 0

q = \frac{m\cdot g}{E} (Eq. 2)

E - Electric field, measured in Newtons per Coloumb.

m - Mass, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravity acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

q - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

As electric field of the Earth is directed in toward the center of the planet, that is, in the same direction of gravity, electric field must be a negative value. If we know that m = 60\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and E = -150\,\frac{N}{C}, the charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is:

q = \frac{(60\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}{-150\,\frac{N}{C} }

q = -3.923\,C

The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The electric force of repulsion between two people with the same charge calculated in part (a) is determined by Coulomb's Law, whose definition we proceed to use:

F = \kappa \cdot \frac{q^{2}}{r^{2}} (Eq. 3)

Where:

\kappa - Electrostatic constant, measured in Newton-square meter per square Coulomb.

q - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

r - Distance between two people, measured in meters.

If we know that \kappa = 9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}, q = -3.923\,C and r = 100\,m, then the force of repulsion between two people is:

F = \left(9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} \right)\cdot \left[\frac{(-3.923\,C)^{2}}{(100\,m)^{2}} \right]

F = 13.851\times 10^{6}\,N

The force of repulsion between two people is 13.851\times 10^{6} newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

I need the solution to this
posledela

Answer:

He could jump 2.6 meters high.

Explanation:

Jumping a height of 1.3m requires a certain initial velocity v_0. It turns out that this scenario can be turned into an equivalent: if a person is dropped from a height of 1.3m in free fall, his velocity right before landing on the ground will be v_0. To answer this equivalent question, we use the kinematic equation:

v_0 = \sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 1.3m}=5.0\frac{m}{s}

With this result, we turn back to the original question on Earth: the person needs an initial velocity of 5 m/s to jump 1.3m high, on the Earth.

Now let's go to the other planet. It's smaller, half the radius, and its meadows are distinctly greener. Since its density is the same as one of the Earth, only its radius is half, we can argue that the gravitational acceleration g will be <em>half</em> of that of the Earth (you can verify this is true by writing down the Newton's formula for gravity, use volume of the sphere times density instead of the mass of the Earth, then see what happens to g when halving the radius). So, the question now becomes: from which height should the person be dropped in free fall so that his landing speed is 5 m/s ? Again, the kinematic equation comes in handy:

v_0^2 = 2g_{1/2}h\implies \\h = \frac{v_0^2}{2g_{1/2}}=\frac{25\frac{m^2}{s^2}}{2\cdot 4.9\frac{m}{s^2}}=2.6m

This results tells you, that on the planet X, which just half the radius of the Earth, a person will jump up to the height of 2.6 meters with same effort as on the Earth. This is exactly twice the height he jumps on Earth. It now all makes sense.

Current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field to move to a position of lower
Vaselesa [24]
Current is created when charges are quickened by an electric field to move where the position of lower temperature. An electric current is a stream of electric charge. In electric circuits, this charge is regularly conveyed by moving electrons in a wire.

Newton's second law problem. The spring constant can be determined from the balance of forces in equilibrium. Suppose the spring
mario62 [17]

Answer:

K =6.697 Kg/s²

Explanation:

Given:

delta m =41 g = 0.041 kg

delta x = 6cm = 0.06m

g = 9.8 m/s²

according to the given formula

K = delta m g /delta x

K = (0.041 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / 0.06m

K =6.697 Kg/s²
