Answer:
Explanation:
a) Maximum height id expressed as;
H = u²sin² theta/2g
H = 36.6²(sin42.2)²/2(9.8)
H = 1,339.56(0.6717)/19.6
H = 899.81/19.6
H = 45.91m
Hence the maximum height is 45.91m
b) The Time of flight is the total time in air expressed as;
T = 2usin theta/g
T = 2(36.6)sin42.2/9.8
T = 73.2sin42.2/9.8
T = 49.17/9.8
T = 5.017secs
Hence the total time in air is 5.017scs
c) Range = U²sin2(theta)/g
Range = 36.6²sin2(42.2)/9.8
Range = 1,339.5(0.9952)/9.8
Range = 1,333.11/9.8
Range = 136.03m
Hence the range is 136.03m
d) USing the rime of flight formula;
T =2Usintheta/g
1.5 = 2Usin42.2/9.8
2Usin42.2 =1.5*9.8
2Usin42.2 = 14.7
U = 14.7/2sin42.2
U = 14.7/1.3434
U = 10.94m/s
Hence the speed of the projectile is 10.94m/s

A plane is heading due west and climbing at the rate of 80 km/hr. If its airspeed is 540 km/hr and there is a wind blowing 80 km/hr to the northwest, what is the ground speed of the plane?
Answer:
599.245km/hr
Explanation:
A plane is heading due west and climbing at the rate of 80 km/hr. If its airspeed is 540 km/hr and there is a wind blowing 80 km/hr to the northwest, what is the ground speed of the plane?
We solve the above question using vectors
In vector form Air speed is -540i + 0j Wind speed is (-80/√2)i + (80/√2)j
Vector notation wind speed is given as: -56.5685 i + 56.5685j
The vector for the ground speed of the plane =
-540i + 0j -56.5685i + 56.5685j
= -596.56854249i + 56.5685j
The the ground speed of the plane √[(596.56854249)² + (56.5685)²]
= √359094.021081 km/hr
= 599.24454197 km/hr
Approximately
= 599.245km/hr

In principle, when you fire a rifle, the recoil should push you backward. How big a push will it give? Let's find out by doing a calculation in a very artificial situation. Suppose a man standing on frictionless ice fires a rifle horizontally. The mass of the man together with the rifle is 70 kg, and the mass of the bullet is 10 g. If the bullet leaves the muzzle at a speed of 500 m/s, what is the final speed of the man?
Answer:
Explanation:
m1v1=m2v2
m1=70 kg
m2=10 g=0.01 kg
v2=500 m/s
m1v1=m2v2
v1=m2v2/m1
v1=0.01*500/70
v1=0.07
A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m2 of power per unit area. A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Assuming the surface is a perfect absorber, calculate the radiation pressure on it.
Answer:
[tex]P=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m² of power per unit area.
A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
We need to find the radiation pressure on it. It is given by the formula as follows :
[tex]P=\dfrac{2I}{c}[/tex]
Where
c is speed of light
Putting all the values, we get :
[tex]P=\dfrac{2\times 38.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\\=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2[/tex]
So, the radiation pressure is [tex]2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2[/tex].
You are designing a flywheel. It is to start from rest and then rotate with a constant angular acceleration of 0.200 rev/s^2. The design specifications call for it to have a rotational kinetic energy of 330 J after it has turned through 30.0 revolutions.
What should be the moment of inertia of the flywheel about its rotation axis?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Answer: 1.14 kg*m/s
Explanation:
The first person explained everything right, they just forgot to convert the angular acceleration to rads/sec^2 from revs/sec^2. Once that is converted, your answer should come out right.
Another small thing, the answer there has an extra unnecessary step. It tells you to find the square root of w^2 to find w but that is unnecessary since the final equation asked for w^2. Hope this helps! :)
The moment of inertia I of the flywheel about its rotation axis is
[tex]1.39Kgm^2[/tex]Given
Angular displacement,
[tex]\theta = 30rev \\\\\theta = (30) * 2\pi rad \\\\\theta = 188.495rad[/tex]
Therefore, Final angular velocity (w) will be:
[tex]w^2 = 2\alpha\theta\\\\w^2 = 2 * (0.200 * 2\pi) * (188.49)\\\\w^2 = 473.73\\\\w = 21.76 rad/s[/tex]
Therefore,
moment of inertia
[tex]I = 2 * K / w^2[/tex]
[tex]I = 2 * 330 / 473.73[/tex]
[tex]I = 1.39kgm^2[/tex]

A car moves forward up a hill at 12 m/s with a uniform backward acceleration of 1.6 m/s2. What is its displacement after 6 s?
Answer:
The displacement of the car after 6s is 43.2 m
Explanation:
Given;
velocity of the car, v = 12 m/s
acceleration of the car, a = -1.6 m/s² (backward acceleration)
time of motion, t = 6 s
The displacement of the car after 6s is given by the following kinematic equation;
d = ut + ¹/₂at²
d = (12 x 6) + ¹/₂(-1.6)(6)²
d = 72 - 28.8
d = 43.2 m
Therefore, the displacement of the car after 6s is 43.2 m
A ball is thrown 24 m/s into the air. How high does it go?

Complete Question
A small object moves along the x-axis with acceleration ax(t) = −(0.0320m/s3)(15.0s−t)−(0.0320m/s3)(15.0s−t). At t = 0 the object is at x = -14.0 m and has velocity v0x = 7.10 m/s. What is the x-coordinate of the object when t = 10.0 s?
Answer:
The position of the object at t = 10s is [tex]X = 38.3 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The acceleration along the x axis is [tex]a_{x}t = -(0.0320\ m/s^3)(15.0 s- t)- (0.0320\ m/s^3)[/tex]
The position of the object at t = 0 is x = -14.0 m
The velocity at t = 0 s is [tex]v_{0}x = 7.10 m/s[/tex]
Generally from the equation for acceleration along x axis we have that
[tex]a_x = \frac{dV_{x}}{dt} = -0.032 (15- t)[/tex]
=> [tex]\int\limits {dV_{x}} \, = \int\limits {-0.032(15- t)} \, dt[/tex]
=> [tex]V_{x} = -0.032 [15t - \frac{t^2 }{2} ]+ K_1[/tex]
At t =0 s and [tex]v_{0}x = 7.10 m/s[/tex]
=> [tex]7.10 = -0.032 [15(0) - \frac{(0)^2 }{2} ]+ K_1[/tex]
=> [tex]K_1 = 7.10[/tex]
So
[tex]\frac{dX}{dt} = -0.032 [15t - \frac{t^2 }{2} ]+ K_1[/tex]
=> [tex]\int\limits dX = \int\limits [-0.032 [15t - \frac{t^2 }{2} ]+ K_1] }{dt}[/tex]
=> [tex]X = -0.032 [ 15\frac{t^2}{2} - \frac{t^3 }{6} ]+ K_1t +K_2[/tex]
At t =0 s and x = -14.0 m
[tex]-14 = -0.032 [ 15\frac{0^2}{2} - \frac{0^3 }{6} ]+ K_1(0) +K_2[/tex]
=> [tex]K_2 = -14[/tex]
So
[tex]X = -0.032 [ 15\frac{t^2}{2} - \frac{t^3 }{6} ]+ 7.10 t -14[/tex]
At t = 10.0 s
[tex]X = -0.032 [ 15\frac{10^2}{2} - \frac{10^3 }{6} ]+ 7.10 (10) -14[/tex]

A jet airplane with a 75.0 m wingspan is flying at 260 m/s. What emf is induced between the wing tips in V if the vertical component of the Earth’s magnetic field is 3.00 × 10-5 T?
Answer:
0.585V
Explanation:
Given that:
B = 3.00 × 10-5 T
l = 75.0 m
v = 260 m/s
From Blv = emf between the wing tips

Measurements of the radioactivity of a certain isotope tell you that the decay rate decreases from 8255 decays per minute to 3110 decays per minute over a period of 4.50 days.
What is the half-life (T1/2) of this isotope?
Answer:half-life (T1/2) of this isotope =
Explanation:
The number of nuclei of any radioactive substance at a given time is expressed by
Nt = N0e⁻kt
Nt=decay of material at a time t, =3110 decays per minute
N=decays at t=0, 8255 decays per minute
k=constant
Nt=N0e−kt
3110= 8255 e⁻k(4.50)
3110/ 8255=e−k(4.50)
0.3767 = e−k(4.50)
In 0.3767 = -k (4.50)
0.976=-4.5k
k=0.976/4.5
=0.2159
Also we know that t 1/2= time that it takes half the original material to decay.it is related to the rate constant by
T₁/₂=ln 2 / k
Therefore half-life (T1/2) of this isotope
T₁/₂=ln 2/0.2159
T₁/₂=3.12 days
In the winter sport of curling, players give a 20 kg stone a push across a sheet of ice. The Slone moves approximately 40 m before coming to rest. The final position of the stone, in principle, onlyndepends on the initial speed at which it is launched and the force of friction between the ice and the stone, but team members can use brooms to sweep the ice in front of the stone to adjust its speed and trajectory a bit; they must do this without touching the stone. Judicious sweeping can lengthen the travel of the stone by 3 m.1. A curler pushes a stone to a speed of 3.0 m/s over a time of 2.0 s. Ignoring the force of friction, how much force must the curler apply to the stone to bring it op to speed?A. 3.0 NB. 15 NC. 30 N

B. Increasing the coefficient of friction between the stone and the ice.C. Changing friction from kinetic to static.D. Changing friction from static to kinetic.3. Suppose the stone is launched with a speed of 3 m/s and travel s 40 m before coming to rest. What is the approximate magnitude of the friction force on the stone?A. 0 NB. 2 NC. 20 ND. 200 N4. Suppose the stone's mass is increased to 40 kg, but it is launched at the same 3 m/s. Which one of the following is true?A. The stone would now travel a longer distance before coming to rest.B. The stone would now travel a shorter distance before coming to rest.C. The coefficient of friction would now be greater.D. The force of friction would now be greater.
Answer:82. Since you have a distance and a force, then the easiest principle to use is energy, i.e. work.
The work done by friction is F * d. This work cancels out the kinetic energy of the stone (1/2)mv^2
Fd = (1/2)mv^2
F = (1/2)mv^2/d.
Plug in m = 20 kg, v = 3 m/sec, d = 40 m.
83. With more mass, the kinetic energy is higher now. The work needed is higher. W = F * d and F is the same.

waves disturb ____, but do not transmit it.
a. energy
b. matter
c. sound
d. none of the above
Answer:
b. matter
Explanation:
Waves disturb matter but do not transmit it.
Waves are disturbances that transmit energy from one point to another. Although they cause disturbances, they do not transfer the matters in the medium.
Energy is propagated by a wave. When for example, sound waves are produced, the disturbance is propagated via particle - particle interaction But after the wave train moves, the particles remain.A 5.3 kg block rests on a level surface. The coefficient of static friction is μ_s=0.67, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μ_k= 0.48 A horizontal force, x is applied to the block. As x is increased, the block begins moving. Describe how the force of friction changes as x increases from the moment the block is at rest to when it begins moving. Show how you determined the force of friction at each of these times ― before the block starts moving, at the point it starts moving, and after it is moving. Show your work.
As the pushing force x increases, it would be opposed by the static frictional force. As x passes a certain threshold and overcomes the maximum static friction, the block will start moving and will require a smaller magnitude x to maintain opposition to the kinetic friction and keep the block moving at a constant speed. If x stays at the magnitude required to overcome static friction, the net force applied to the block will cause it to accelerate in the same direction.
Let w denote the weight of the block, n the magnitude of the normal force, x the magnitude of the pushing force, and f the magnitude of the frictional force.
The block is initially at rest, so the net force on the box in the horizontal and vertical directions is 0:
n + (-w) = 0
n = w = m g = (5.3 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 51.94 N
The frictional force is proportional to the normal force, so that f = µ n where µ is the coefficient of static or kinetic friction. Before the block starts moving, the maximum static frictional force will be
f = 0.67 (51.94 N) ≈ 35 N
so for 0 < x < 35 N, the block remains at rest and 0 < f < 35 N as well.
The block starts moving as soon as x = 35 N, at which point f = 35 N.
At any point after the block starts moving, we have
f = 0.48 (51.94 N) ≈ 25 N
so that x = 25 N is the required force to keep the block moving at a constant speed.
As x is increasing it will be opposed by a static frictional force and for the object to start moving and maintain its acceleration, the magnitude of x must exceed the magnitude of the static frictional force and kinetic frictional force
Magnitude of normal force ( object at rest ); n = 51.94 N Required magnitude of x before the movement of object ; x = 35 NMagnitude of x after object start moving x = 25 NGiven data :
mass of block at rest ( m ) = 5.3 kg
Coefficient of static friction ( μ_s ) =0.67
Coefficient of kinetic friction is ( μ_k ) = 0.48
Horizontal force applied to block = x
First step : magnitude of normal force ( n ) when object is at rest
n = w where w = m*g
n - w = 0
n - ( 5.3 * 9.81 ) = 0 ∴ n = 51.94 N
Second step : Required magnitude of x before the movement of object
F = μ_s * n
F = 0.67 * 51.94 = 34.79 N ≈ 35 N
∴ The object will start moving once F and x = 35 N
Final step : Magnitude of x after object start moving
F = μ_k * n
= 0.48 * 51.94 = 24.93 N ≈ 25 N
∴ object will continue to accelerate at a constant speed once F and x = 25N

Because the time taken for this car to come to a full stop is not required, apply the SUVAT equation that does not involve time:

. A car going initially with a velocity 15 m/s accelerates at a rate of 2 m/s2 for 10 seconds. It then accelerates at a rate of -1.5 m/s until stop. Find the car’s maximum speed. Calculate the total distance traveled by the car.
Answer:
The maximum speed of the car is 35 m/s
The total distance traveled by the car is 658.33 m
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the car, u = 15 m/s
acceleration of the car, a = 2 m/s²
time of car motion, t = 10 s
(i)
Initial distance traveled by the car is given by;
d₁ = ut + ¹/₂at²
d₁ = (15 x 10) + ¹/₂(2)(10)²
d₁ = 150 + 100
d₁ = 250 m
The maximum speed of the car during this is given by;
v² = u² + 2ad₁
v² = (15)² + (2 x 2 x 250)
v² = 1225
v = √1225
v = 35 m/s
(ii)
The final distance cover by the car during the deceleration of 1.5 m/s².
Note: the final or maximum speed of the car becomes the initial velocity during deceleration.
v² = u² + 2ad₂
where;
v is the final speed of the car when it stops = 0
0 = u² + 2ad₂
0 = (35²) + (2 x - 1.5 x d₂)
0 = 1225 - 3d₂
3d₂ = 1225
d₂ = 1225 / 3
d₂ = 408.33 m
The total distance traveled by the car is given by;
d = d₁ + d₂
d = 250 m + 408.33 m
d = 658.33 m

[tex]5[\frac{k}{kw*h}]*200[w]*30[day]*24[\frac{h}{day} ][/tex]
= 720000 [k]
An 7.40 kg block drops straight down from a height of 0.83 m, striking a platform spring having a force constant of 9.50 102 N/m. Find the maximum compression of the spring.
Answer:
0.25 m.
Explanation:
mass of the block = 7.40 kg, height = 0.83 m, force constant of the spring = 9.50 x [tex]10^{2}[/tex] N/m.
The maximum compression on the spring can be determined by;
Potential energy stored in the spring = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] K[tex]x^{2}[/tex]
But, potential energy = mgh
So that,
mgh = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] K[tex]x^{2}[/tex]
7.4 x 9.8 x 0.83 = 9.50 x [tex]10^{2}[/tex] x [tex]x^{2}[/tex]
60.1916 = 9.50 x [tex]10^{2}[/tex] x [tex]x^{2}[/tex]
[tex]x^{2}[/tex]= [tex]\frac{60.1916}{9.50*10^{2} }[/tex]
= 0.06336
x = 0.2517
x = 0.25 m
The maximum compression of the spring is 0.25 m.
Acceleration is sometimes expressed in multiples of g, where g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the magnitude of the acceleration due to the earth's gravity. In a test crash, a car's velocity goes from 26 m/s to 0 m/s in 0.15 s. How many g's would be experienced by a driver under the same conditions?
Answer:
Acceleration = 18g
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial velocity, u = 26m/s
Final velocity, v = 0
Time = 0.15 secs
To find the acceleration;
In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.
This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.
Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.
Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;
[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}[/tex]
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex]a = \frac{0 - 26}{0.15}[/tex]
[tex]a = \frac{26}{0.15}[/tex]
Acceleration = 173.33m/s2
To express it in magnitude of g;
Acceleration = 173.33/9.8
Acceleration = 17.7 ≈ 18g
Acceleration = 18g
