Explanation:

It’s before the projectile was fired, so nothing has happened yet.

A large spool in an electrician's workshop has 65 m of insulation-coated wire coiled around it. When the electrician connects a

Art [367]

Answer:

$40.34\ \text{m}$

Explanation:

$L_1$ = Length of wire = 65 m

$I_1$ = Initial current = 1.8 A

$I_2$ = Final current = 2.9 A

We know

$R\propto \dfrac{1}{I}$

and

$R\propto L$

$\dfrac{V}{I}\propto L\\\Rightarrow L\propto \dfrac{1}{I}$

so

$\dfrac{L_2}{L_1}=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}L_1\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{1.8}{2.9}\times 65\\\Rightarrow L_2=40.34\ \text{m}$

The length of the wire remaining on the spool is $40.34\ \text{m}$ .

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum conservation

$m2v_0+2mv_0=mv_1+2mv_2 \quad (1/m) \quad 4v_0=v_1+2v_2\\$

Kinetic energy conservation

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}m(2v_0)^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_2^2 \quad (1/m) \quad 6v_0^2=v_1^2+2v_2^2$

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

∆h = 0.071 m

Explanation:

I rename angle (θ) = angle(α)

First we are going to write two important equations to solve this problem :

Vy(t) and y(t)

We start by decomposing the speed in the direction ''y''

$sin(\alpha) = \frac{Vyi}{Vi}$

$Vyi = Vi.sin(\alpha ) = 9.2 \frac{m}{s} .sin(46) = 6.62 \frac{m}{s}$

Vy in this problem will follow this equation =

$Vy(t) = Vyi -g.t$

where g is the gravity acceleration

$Vy(t) = Vyi - g.t= 6.62 \frac{m}{s} - (9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }) .t$

This is equation (1)

For Y(t) :

$Y(t)=Yi+Vyi.t-\frac{g.t^{2} }{2}$

We suppose yi = 0

$Y(t) = Yi +Vyi.t-\frac{g.t^{2} }{2} = 6.62 \frac{m}{s} .t- 4.9\frac{m}{s^{2} } .t^{2}$

This is equation (2)

We need the time in which Vy = 0 m/s so we use (1)

$Vy (t) = 0\\0=6.62 \frac{m}{s} - 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } .t\\t= 0.675 s$

So in t = 0.675 s → Vy = 0. Now we calculate the y in which this happen using (2)

$Y(0.675s) = 6.62\frac{m}{s}.(0.675s)-4.9 \frac{m}{s^{2} } .(0.675s)^{2} \\Y(0.675s) =2.236 m$

2.236 m is the maximum height from the shell (in which Vy=0 m/s)

Let's calculate now the height for t = 0.555 s

$Y(0.555s)= 6.62 \frac{m}{s} .(0.555s)-4.9\frac{m}{s^{2} } .(0.555s)^{2} \\Y(0.555s) = 2.165m$

The height asked is

∆h = 2.236 m - 2.165 m = 0.071 m
