Answer:
The angle of projection is 12.26⁰.
Explanation:
Given;
initial position of the dart, h₀ = 1.50 m
height above the ground reached by the dart, h₁ = 1.73 m
maximum height reached by the dart, Hm = h₁ - h₀ = 1.73 m - 1.50 m= 0.23 m
velocity of the dart, u = 10 m/s
The maximum height reached by the projectile is calculated as;
where;
θ is angle of projection
g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore, the angle of projection is 12.26⁰.
Answer:
No, it is not conserved
Explanation:
Let's calculate the total kinetic energy before the collision and compare it with the total kinetic energy after the collision.
The total kinetic energy before the collision is:
where m1 = m2 = 1 kg are the masses of the two carts, v1=2 m/s is the speed of the first cart, and where v2=0 is the speed of the second cart, which is zero because it is stationary.
After the collision, the two carts stick together with same speed v=1 m/s; their total kinetic energy is
So, we see that the kinetic energy was not conserved, because the initial kinetic energy was 2 J while the final kinetic energy is 1 J. This means that this is an inelastic collision, in which only the total momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy does not violate the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the energy lost has simply been converted into another form of energy, such as heat, during the collision.
