A cannon is mounted on a truck that moves forward at a speed of 5 m/s. The operator wants to launch a ball from a cannon so the

ball goes as far as possible before hitting the level surface. The muzzle velocity of the cannon is 50 m/s. At what angle from the horizontal should the operator point the cannon?

If the height of the cannon and the ground are the same and in the absence of air resistance, the fact that it is moving horizontally changes nothing from a static problem in which a 45 degree angle gives maximum x-axis displacement.

A capacitor in a single-loop RC circuit is charged to 85% of its final potential difference in 2.4 s. What is the time constant

atroni [7]

Answer:

The time constant is $\tau = 1.265 s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

the time take to charge is $t = 2.4 \ s$

The mathematically representation for voltage potential of a capacitor at different time is

$V = V_o - e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$

Where $\tau$ is the time constant

$V_o$ is the potential of the capacitor when it is full

So the capacitor potential will be 100% when it is full thus $V_o =$ 100% = 1

and from the question we are told that the at the given time the potential of the capacitor is 85% = 0.85 of its final potential so

V = 0.85

Hence

$0.85 = 1 - e^{-\frac{2.4}{\tau } }$

$- {\frac{2.4}{\tau } } = ln0.15$

$\tau = 1.265 s$

When the play button is pressed, a CD accelerates uniformly from rest to 450 rev/min in 3.0 revolutions. If the CD has a radius

Marina CMI [18]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

Torque from the rotational movement is defined as

$\tau = I\alpha$

where

I = Moment of inertia $\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mr^2$ For a disk

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

The angular acceleration at the same time can be defined as function of angular velocity and angular displacement (Without considering time) through the expression:

$2 \alpha \theta = \omega_f^2-\omega_i^2$

Where

$\omega_{f,i} =$ Final and Initial Angular velocity

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

$\theta =$ Angular displacement

Our values are given as

$\omega_i = 0 rad/s$

$\omega_f = 450rev/min (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})$

$\omega_f = 47.12rad/s$

$\theta = 3 rev (\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev}) \rightarrow 6\pi rad$

$r = 7cm = 7*10^{-2}m$

$m = 17g = 17*10^{-3}kg$

Using the expression of angular acceleration we can find the to then find the torque, that is,

$2\alpha\theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2$

$\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}$

$\alpha = \frac{47.12^2-0^2}{2*6\pi}$

$\alpha = 58.89rad/s^2$

With the expression of the acceleration found it is now necessary to replace it on the torque equation and the respective moment of inertia for the disk, so

$\tau = I\alpha$

$\tau = (\frac{1}{2}mr^2)\alpha$

$\tau = (\frac{1}{2}(17*10^{-3})(7*10^{-2})^2)(58.89)$

$\tau = 0.00245N\cdot m \approx 2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m$

Therefore the torque exerted on it is $2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m$
