Answer:
(a) max. height = 3.641 m
(b) flight time = 1.723 s
(c) horizontal range = 31.235 m
(d) impact velocity = 20 m/s
Above values have been given to third decimal. Adjust significant figures to suit accuracy required.
Explanation:
This problem requires the use of kinematics equations
v1^2-v0^2=2aS .............(1)
v1.t + at^2/2 = S ............(2)
where
v0=initial velocity
v1=final velocity
a=acceleration
S=distance travelled
SI units and degrees will be used throughout
Let
theta = angle of elevation = 25 degrees above horizontal
v=initial velocity at 25 degrees elevation in m/s
a = g = -9.81 = acceleration due to gravity (downwards)
(a) Maximum height
Consider vertical direction,
v0 = v sin(theta) = 8.452 m/s
To find maximum height, we find the distance travelled when vertical velocity = 0, i.e. v1=0,
solve for S in equation (1)
v1^2 - v0^2 = 2aS
S = (v1^2-v0^2)/2g = (0-8.452^2)/(2*(-9.81)) = 3.641 m/s
(b) total flight time
We solve for the time t when the vertical height of the object is AGAIN = 0.
Using equation (2) for vertical direction,
v0*t + at^2/2 = S substitute values
8.452*t + (-9.81)t^2 = 3.641
Solve for t in the above quadratic equation to get t=0, or t=1.723 s.
So time for the flight = 1.723 s
(c) Horiontal range
We know the horizontal velocity is constant (neglect air resistance) at
vh = v*cos(theta) = 25*cos(25) = 18.126 m/s
Time of flight = 1.723 s
Horizontal range = 18.126 m/s * 1.723 s = 31.235 m
(d) Magnitude of object on hitting ground, Vfinal
By symmetry of the trajectory, Vfinal = v = 20, or
Vfinal = sqrt(v0^2+vh^2) = sqrt(8.452^2+18.126^2) = 20 m/s
Consider a skateboarder who starts from rest at the top of ramp that is inclined at an angle of 18.0 ∘ to the horizontal.
Assuming that the skateboarder's acceleration is gsin 18.0 ∘, find his speed when he reaches the bottom of the ramp in 3.50 s .
Answer:
Explanation:
v= u + at
v is final velocity , u is initial velocity . a is acceleration and t is time
Initial velocity u = 0 . Putting the given values in the equation
v = 0 + g sin 18 x 3.5
= 10.6 m /s
For a skateboarder who starts from the rest, the speed when he reaches the bottom of the ramp will be 10.6 m/s.
What are Velocity and Acceleration?The term "velocity" refers to a vector measurement of the rate and direction of motion. Velocity is the rate of movement in a single direction, to put it simply. Velocity can be used to determine how fast a rocket is heading into space and how fast a car is moving north on a congested motorway.
There are several types of velocity :
Instantaneous velocityAverage VelocityUniform VelocityNon-Uniform VelocityThe pace at which a person's velocity changes is known as acceleration. This implies that an object is accelerating if its velocity is rising or falling. An object that is accelerating won't have a steady change in location every second like an item moving at a constant speed does.
According to the question, the given values are :
Time, t = 3.50 sec
Initial Velocity, u = 0 m/s
Use equation of motion :
v = u+at
v = 0+ g sin 18 × 3.5
v = 10.6 m/s.
So, the final velocity will be 10.6 m/s.

What is the change in internal energy of an engine if you put 15 gallon of gasoline into its tank? The energy content of gasoline is 1.5 x 106 J/gallon. All other factors, such as the engine’s temperature, are constant. How many hours the engine can work if the power of the engine’s motor is 600 W? (8 marks)
Answer:
ΔU = 2.25 x 10⁸ J
t = 104.17 s
Explanation:
The change in internal energy of the engine can be given by the following formula:
ΔU = (Mass of Gasoline)(Energy Content of Gasoline)
ΔU = (1.5 x 10⁶ J/gallon)(15 gallon)
ΔU = 2.25 x 10⁸ J
Now, for the time of operation, we use the following formula of power.
P = W/t = ΔU/t
t = ΔU/P
where,
t = time of operation = ?
ΔU = Change in internal energy = 2.25 x 10⁸ J
P = Power of motor = 600 W
Therefore,
t = (2.25 x 10⁸ J)/(600 W)
t = (375000 s)(1 h/3600 s)
t = 104.17 s
The electric field at the surface of a charged, solid, copper sphere with radius 0.220 mm is 4200 N/CN/C, directed toward the center of the sphere. What is the potential at the center of the sphere, if we take the potential to be zero infinitely far from the sphere?
Answer:
The potential at the center of the sphere is -924 V
Explanation:
Given;
radius of the sphere, R = 0.22 m
electric field at the surface of the sphere, E = 4200 N/C
Since the electric field is directed towards the center of the sphere, the charge is negative.
The Potential is the same at every point in the sphere, and it is given as;
[tex]V = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_o} \frac{q}{R}[/tex] -------equation (1)
The electric field on the sphere is also given as;
[tex]E = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _o} \frac{|q|}{R^2}[/tex]
[tex]|q |= 4 \pi \epsilon _o} R^2E[/tex]
Substitute in the value of q in equation (1)
[tex]V = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_o} \frac{-(4 \pi \epsilon _o R^2E)}{R} \ \ \ \ q \ is \ negative\ because \ E \ is\ directed \ toward \ the \ center\\\\V = -RE\\\\V = -(0.22* 4200)\\\\V = -924 \ V[/tex]
Therefore, the potential at the center of the sphere is -924 V

Answer:
a) 2.933 m
b) 4.534 m
Explanation:
We're given the equation
v(t) = -0.4t² + 2t
If we're to find the distance, then we'd have to integrate the velocity, since integration of velocity gives distance, just as differentiation of distance gives velocity.
See attachment for the calculations
The conclusion of the attachment will be
7.467 - 2.933 and that is 4.534 m
Thus, The distance it travels in the second 2 sec is 4.534 m
what is the difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?
Answer:
Explanation:
In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.
Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.
Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.
An elastic band is hung on a hook and a mass is hung on the lower end of the band. When the mass is pulled downward and then released, it vibrates vertically. The equation of motion is s = 9 cos(t) + 9 sin(t), t ≥ 0, where s is measured in centimeters and t in seconds. (Take the positive direction to be downward.) (a) Find the velocity and acceleration at time t.
Answer:
v(t) = s′(t) = −9sin(t)+9cos(t)
a(t) = v′(t) = −9cos(t) −9sin(t)
Explanation:
Given that
s = 9 cos(t) + 9 sin(t), t ≥ 0
Then acceleration and velocity is
v(t) = s′(t) = −9sin(t)+9cos(t)
a(t) = v′(t) = −9cos(t) −9sin(t)
2. A pair of narrow, parallel slits sep by 0.25 mm is illuminated by 546 nm green light. The interference pattern is observed on a screen situated at 1.3 m away from the slits. Calculate the distance from the central maximum to the
Answer:
for the first interference m = 1 y = 2,839 10-3 m
for the second interference m = 2 y = 5,678 10-3 m
Explanation:
The double slit interference phenomenon, for constructive interference is described by the expression
d sin θ = m λ
where d is the separation between the slits, λ the wavelength and m an integer that corresponds to the interference we see.
In these experiments in general the observation screen is L >> d, let's use trigonometry to find the angles
tan θ = y / L
with the angle it is small,
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ
we substitute
sin θ = y / L
d y / L = m λ
the distance between the central maximum and an interference line is
y = m λ L / d
let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
λ = 546 nm = 546 10⁻⁹ m
d = 0.25 mm = 0.25 10⁻³ m
let's substitute the values
y = m 546 10⁻⁹ 1.3 / 0.25 10⁻³
y = m 2,839 10⁻³
the explicit value for a line depends on the value of the integer m, for example
for the first interference m = 1
the distance from the central maximum to the first line is y = 2,839 10-3 m
for the second interference m = 2
the distance from the central maximum to the second line is y = 5,678 10-3 m
An automobile accelerates from zero to 30 m/s in 6 s. The wheels have a diameter of 0.4 m. What is the angular acceleration of each wheel
Answer:
12.5 rad/s²
Explanation:
Angular Acceleration: This can be defined as the ratio of linear acceleration and radius. The S.I unit is rad/s²
From the question,
a = αr................... Equation 1
Where a = linear acceleration, α = angular acceleration, r = radius.
But,
a = (v-u)/t.............. Equation 2
Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
(v-u)/t = αr
make α the subject of the equation
α = (v-u)/tr................. Equation 3
Given: v = 30 m/s, u = 0 m/s, t = 6 s, r = 0.4 m
Substitute into equation 3
α = (30-0)/(0.4×6)
α = 30/2.4
α = 12.5 rad/s²

Answer:
The speed of the rod is 1.383 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
length of the conducting rod, L = 31 cm = 0.31 m
induced emf on the rod, emf = 0.75V
magnetic field around the rod, B = 1.75 T
Apply the following Faraday's equation for electromagnetic induction in a moving rod to determine the speed of the rod.
emef = BLv
where;
B is the magnetic field
L is length of the rod
v is the speed of the rod
v = emf / BL
v = (0.75) / (1.75 x 0.31)
v = 1.383 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the rod is 1.383 m/s

Answer:
- maximum displacement = 3.00nm
- λ = 1.79m
- f = 286.47 s^-1
Explanation:
You have the following equation for a sound wave:
[tex]s(x,t)=3.00nm\ cos(3.50m^{-1}x- 1,800s^{-1} t)[/tex] (1)
The general form of the equation of a sound wave can be expressed as the following formula:

A: amplitude of the wave = 3.00nm
k: wave number = 3.50m^-1
w: angular frequency = 1,800s^-1
- The maximum displacement of the wave is given by the amplitude of the wave, then you have:
maximum displacement = A = 3.00nm
- The wavelength is given by :
[tex]\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{3.50m^{-1}}=1.79m[/tex]
The values for the wavelength is 1.79m
- The frequency is:
[tex]f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{1,800s^{-1}}{2\pi}=286.47s^{-1}[/tex]
The frequency is 286.47s-1

When the pivot point of a balance is not at the center of mass of the balance, how is the net torque on the balance calculated
Answer:
It is calculated as Force × perpendicular distance.
Explanation:
Torque is a rotational force and twisting force that can cause an object to rotate in it's axis. This cause angular rotation.
The torque due to gravity on a body about its centre of mass is zero because the centre of mass is the that point of the body at which the force acts by the gravity that is mg.
But if the pivot point of a balance is not at the centre of mass of the balance, it will be FORCE × PERPENDICULAR DISTANCE because at that point, there is no centre in which the force act on a body by gravity. The distance and force will be use to calculate.

a fly undergoes a displacement of - 5.80 while accelerating at -1.33 m/s^2 for 4.22 s. what was the initial velocity of the fly?
Answer:
[tex]v_i = 1.44\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
Explanation:
The computation of the initial velocity of the fly is shown below:-
But before that we need to do the following calculations
For 4.22 seconds
[tex]\bar v = \frac{-5.80 m}{4.22 s}[/tex]
[tex]= -1.37\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
For uniform acceleration
[tex]\bar v = \frac{v_i +v_f}{2}[/tex]
[tex]= v_i + v_f[/tex]
[tex]= -2.74\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
With initial and final velocities
[tex]= -1.33\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{v_i +v_f}{4.22s}[/tex]
[tex]= -v_i + v_f[/tex]
[tex]= -5.61\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
So, the initial velocity is
[tex]v_i = 1.44\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
We simply applied the above steps to reach at the final solution i.e initial velocity

Question:
A spaceship enters the solar system moving toward the Sun at a constant speed relative to the Sun. By its own clock, the time elapsed between the time it crosses the orbit of Jupiter and the time it crosses the orbit of Mars is 35.0 minutes
How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the orbit of Mars is 12.6 light-minutes.
Answer:
S = 5.508 × 10¹¹m
V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s
Explanation:
The radius of the orbit of Jupiter, Rj is 43.2 light-minutes
radius of the orbit of Mars, Rm is 12.6 light-minutes
Distance travelled S = (Rj - Rm)
= 43.2 - 12.6 = 30.6 light- minutes
= 30.6 × (3 ×10⁸m/s) × 60 s
= 5.508 × 10¹¹m
time = 35mins = (35 × 60 secs)
= 2100 secs
speed = distance/time
V = 5.508 × 10¹¹m / 2100 s
V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s
A 5000 kg railcar hits a bumper (a spring) at 1 m/s, and the spring compresses 0.1 meters. Assume no damping. a) Find the spring constant k.
Answer:
k = 0.5 MN/m
Explanation:
Mass of the railcar, m = 5000 kg
Speed of the rail car, v = 1 m/s
The Kinetic energy(KE) of the railcar is given by the equation:
KE = 0.5 mv²
KE = 0.5 * 5000 * 1²
KE = 2500 J
The spring's compression, x = 0.1 m
The potential energy(PE) stored in the spring is given by the equation:
PE = 0.5kx²
PE = 0.5 * k * 0.1²
PE = 0.005k
According to the principle of energy conservation, Kinetic energy of the railcar equals the potential energy stored in the spring
KE = PE
2500 = 0.005k
k = 2500/0.005
k = 500000 N/m
k = 0.5 MN/m

b
[tex]B = 0.04 \ T[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The inner radius is [tex]r = 1.2 \ cm = 0.012 \ m[/tex]
The outer radius is [tex]r_o = 2.4 \ cm = \frac{2.4}{100} = 0.024 \ m[/tex]
The nu umber of turns is [tex]N = 960[/tex]
The current it is carrying is [tex]I = 2. 5 A[/tex]
Generally the magnetic field is mathematically represented as
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o * N* I }{2 * \pi * r }[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu_o[/tex] is the permeability of free space with a constant value
[tex]\mu = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2[/tex]
And the given distance where the magnetic field is felt is r = 0.9 cm = 0.009 m
Now substituting values
[tex]B = \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 960* 2.5 }{2 * 3.142 * 0.009 }[/tex]
[tex]B = 0.0533 \ T[/tex]
Fro the second question the distance of the position considered from the center is r = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m
So the magnetic field is
[tex]B = \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 960* 2.5 }{2 * 3.142 * 0.012 }[/tex]
[tex]B = 0.04 \ T[/tex]
The magnetic field at a distance of 0.9 cm from the center of the toroid is 0.053 T.
The magnetic field at a distance of 1.2 cm from the center of the toroid is 0.04 T.

Calculate the ideal banking angle in degrees for a gentle turn of 1.88 km radius on a highway with a 136.3 km/hr speed limit, assuming everyone travels at the speed limit.
Answer:
Ф = 4.4°Explanation:
given:
radius (r) = 1.88 km
velocity (v) = 136.3 km/hr
required:
banking angle ∡ ?
first:
convert 1.88 km to m = 1.88km * 1000m / 1km
r = 1880 m
convert velocity v = 136.3 km/hr to m/s = 136.3 km/hr * (1000 m/ 3600s)
v = 37.86 m/s
now.. calculate the angle

Three wires meet at a junction. Wire 1 has a current of 0.40 A into the junction. The current of wire 2 is 0.75 A out of the junction. How many electrons per second move past a point in wire 3?
Answer:
number of electrons = 2.18*10^18 e
Explanation:
In order to calculate the number of electrons that move trough the second wire, you take into account one of the Kirchoff's laws. All the current that goes inside the junction, has to go out the junction.
Then, if you assume that the current of the wire 1 and 3 go inside the junction, then, all this current have to go out trough the second junction:
[tex]i_1+i_3=i_2[/tex] (1)
i1 = 0.40 A
i2 = 0.75 A
you solve the equation i3 from the equation (1):
[tex]i_3=i_2-i_1=0.75A-0.40A=0.35A[/tex]
Next, you take into account that 1A = 1C/s = 6.24*10^18
Then, you have:
[tex]0.35A=0.35\frac{C}{s}=0.35*\frac{6.24*10^{18}e}{s}=2.18*10^{18}\frac{e}{s}[/tex]
The number of electrons that trough the wire 3 is 2.18*10^18 e/s
Alternating Current In Europe, the voltage of the alternating current coming through an electrical outlet can be modeled by the function V 230 sin (100t), where tis measured in seconds and Vin volts.What is the frequency of the voltage
Answer:
[tex]\frac{50}{\pi }[/tex]Hz
Explanation:
In alternating current (AC) circuits, voltage (V) oscillates in a sine wave pattern and has a general equation as a function of time (t) as follows;
V(t) = V sin (ωt + Ф) -----------------(i)
Where;
V = amplitude value of the voltage
ω = angular frequency = 2 π f [f = cyclic frequency or simply, frequency]
Ф = phase difference between voltage and current.
Now,
From the question,
V(t) = 230 sin (100t) ---------------(ii)
By comparing equations (i) and (ii) the following holds;
V = 230
ω = 100
Ф = 0
But;
ω = 2 π f = 100
2 π f = 100 [divide both sides by 2]
π f = 50
f = [tex]\frac{50}{\pi }[/tex]Hz

please help In a video game, a ball moving at 0.6 meter/second collides with a wall. After the collision, the velocity of the ball changed to -0.4 meter/second. The collision takes 0.2 seconds to occur. What’s the acceleration of the ball during the collision? Use . a= v-u/t
Answer:
the acceleration during the collision is: - 5 [tex]\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
Explanation:
Using the formula:
[tex]a=\frac{\Delta\,v}{\Delta\,t}[/tex]
we get:
[tex]a=\frac{-0.4-0.6}{0.2} \,\frac{m}{s^2} =\frac{-1}{0.2} \,\frac{m}{s^2} =-5\,\,\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
According to Newton, when the distance between two interacting objects doubles, the gravitational force is
Answer:
1/4 of its original value
Explanation:
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that when two bodies of masses M₁ and M₂ interact, the force of attraction (F) between these bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between these bodies. i.e
F ∝ [tex]\frac{M_1 M_2}{r^2}[/tex] ------------(i)
From the equation above, it can be deduced that;
F ∝ [tex]\frac{1}{r^2}[/tex]
=> F = G [tex]\frac{1}{r^2}[/tex] -----------(ii)
Where;
G = constant of proportionality called the gravitational constant
Equation (ii) can be re-written as
Fr² = G
=> F₁r₁² = F₂r₂² -----------(iii)
Where;
F₁ and r₁ are the initial values of the force and distance respectively
F₂ and r₂ are the final values of the force and distance respectively
From the question, if the distance doubles i.e;
r₂ = 2r₁,
Then the final value of the gravitational force F₂ is calculated as follows;
Substitute the value of r₂ = 2r₁ into equation (iii) as follows;
F₁r₁² = F₂(2r₁)²
F₁r₁² = 4F₂r₁² [Divide through by r₁²]
F₁ = 4F₂ [Make F₂ subject of the formula]
F₂ = F₁ / 4 [Re-write this]
F₂ = [tex]\frac{1}{4} F_1[/tex]
Therefore the gravitational force will be 1/4 of its original value when the distance between the bodies doubles.
