Answer:

We are given the trajectory of a projectile:

y=H+xtan(θ)−g2u2x2(1+tan2(θ)),

where H is the initial height, g is the (positive) gravitational constant and u is the initial speed. Since we are looking for the maximum range we set y=0 (i.e. the projectile is on the ground). If we let L=u2/g, then

H+xtan(θ)−12Lx2(1+tan2(θ))=0

Differentiate both sides with respect to θ.

dxdθtan(θ)+xsec2(θ)−[1Lxdxdθ(1+tan2(θ))+12Lx2(2tan(θ)sec2(θ))]=0

Solving for dxdθ yields

dxdθ=xsec2(θ)[xLtan(θ)−1]tan(θ)−xL(1+tan2(θ))

This derivative is 0 when tan(θ)=Lx and hence this corresponds to a critical number θ for the range of the projectile. We should now show that the x value it corresponds to is a maximum, but I'll just assume that's the case. It pretty obvious in the setting of the problem. Finally, we replace tan(θ) with Lx in the second equation from the top and solve for x.

H+L−12Lx2−L2=0.

This leads immediately to x=L2+2LH−−−−−−−−√. The angle θ can now be found easily.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

0.098 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Spring scale reading = W-U............... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the cube, U = upthrust.

W = mg

Where m =  mass of the cube, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 11 g = 0.011 kg, g = 9.8 m/s².

W = 0.011(9.8)

W = 0.1078 N.

From Archimedes principle,

Upthrust = weight of water displaced.

U = (Density of water×volume of metal cube)×acceleration due to gravity.

U = (D×V)g

Given: D = 1000 kg/m², V = 1 cm³ = (1/1000000) = 1×10⁻⁶ m³, g - 9.8 m/s²

U = 1000(9.8)(10⁻⁶)

U = 0.0098 N.

Substitute the value of W and U into equation 1

Reading of the spring scale = 0.1078-0.0098

Reading of the spring scale = 0.098 N

Radio waves have a longer wavelength than microwaves. What else is true<br> about radio waves?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

As it was explained in the Introductory Article on the Electromagnetic Spectrum, electromagnetic radiation can be described as a stream of photons, each traveling in a wave-like pattern, carrying energy and moving at the speed of light. In that section, it was pointed out that the only difference between radio waves, visible light and gamma rays is the energy of the photons. Radio waves have photons with the lowest energies. Microwaves have a little more energy than radio waves. Infrared has still more, followed by visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.

That should be able to help answer your question :)
