You are in charge of a cannon that exerts a force 11500 N on a cannon ball while the ball is in the barrel of the cannon. The le

ngth of the cannon barrel is 1.7 m and the cannon is aimed at a 49.3 ◦ angle from the ground. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . If you want the ball to leave the cannon with speed v0 = 72.3 m/s, what mass cannon ball must you use? Answer in units of kg.

Answer:

m = 7.48 kg

Explanation:

force (f) = 11,500 N

length of barrel (s) = 1.7 m

angle above the ground = 49.3 degrees

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

final velocity (v) = 72.3 m/s

mass (m) = ?

force = mass (m) x acceleration (a)

acceleration (a) = force / mass (m)

acceleration (a) = 11500 / m

applying the equation of motion v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as , we can get the mass

72.3^{2} = 0^{2} + (2 x \frac{11500}{m} x 1.7 )

5227.3 = 0 + \frac{39100}{m}

m =  \frac{39100}{5227.3}

m = 7.48 kg

Halleys comet has period of 75.3 years. Using Kepler’s third law, find it’s semimajor axis expressed in astronomical units?
natta225 [31]

Answer: 17.83 AU

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.  </em>

T^{2}\propto a^{3}  (1)

Talking in general, this law states a relation between the <u>orbital period</u> T of a body (moon, planet, satellite, comet) orbiting a greater body in space with the <u>size</u> a of its orbit.

However, if T is measured in <u>years</u>, and a is measured in <u>astronomical units</u> (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth: 1AU=1.5(10)^{8}km), equation (1) becomes:

T^{2}=a^{3}  (2)

This means that now both sides of the equation are equal.

Knowing T=75.3years and isolating a from (2):

a=\sqrt[3]{T^{2}}=T^{2/3}  (3)

a=(75.3years)^{2/3}  (4)

Finally:

a=17.83AU  (5)

A 0.750 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 13.0 N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it w
trapecia [35]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. From this conservation we will find the magnitude of the amplitude. Later for the second part, we will need to find the period, from which it will be possible to obtain the speed of the body.

A) Conservation of Energy,

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2} mv ^2 = \frac{1}{2} k A^2

Here,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

k = Spring constant

A = Amplitude

Rearranging to find the Amplitude we have,

A = \sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}

Replacing,

A = \sqrt{\frac{(0.750)(31*10^{-2})^2}{13}}

A = 0.0744m

(B) For this part we will begin by applying the concept of Period, this in order to find the speed defined in the mass-spring systems.

The Period is defined as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Replacing,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.750}{13}}

T= 1.509s

Now the velocity is described as,

v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-x^2}

v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-0.75A^2}

We have all the values, then replacing,

v = \frac{2\pi}{1.509}\sqrt{(0.0744)^2-(0.750(0.0744))^2}

v = 0.2049m/s
