A projectile is fired from a height of 80 M above sea level, horizontally with a speed of 360 M / S, calculate: The time it takes for the projectile to reach the water. The Horizontal scope. The height that remains to descend after 2 seconds of being launched.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The projectile takes approximately 4.420 seconds to reach the water, (b) The horizontal scope of the projectile is 1591.2 meters, (c) The remaining height to descend after 2 seconds of being launched is 63.624 meters.

Explanation:

The projectile experiments a parabolic motion, where horizontal speed remains constant and accelerates vertically due to the gravity effect. Let consider that drag can be neglected, so that kinematic equation are described below:

[tex]x = x_{o}+v_{o,x} \cdot t[/tex]

[tex]y = y_{o} + v_{o,y}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot g \cdot t^{2}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]x_{o}[/tex], [tex]y_{o}[/tex] - Initial horizontal and vertical position of the projectile, measured in meters.

[tex]v_{o,x}[/tex], [tex]v_{o,y}[/tex] - Initial horizontal and vertical speed of the projectile, measured in meters per second.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

[tex]x[/tex], [tex]y[/tex] - Current horizontal and vertical position of the projectile, measured in meters.

Given that [tex]x_{o} = 0\,m[/tex], [tex]y_{o} = 80\,m[/tex], [tex]v_{o,x} = 360\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]v_{o,y} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], the kinematic equations are, respectively:

[tex]x = 360\cdot t[/tex]

[tex]y = 80-4.094\cdot t^{2}[/tex]

(a) If [tex]y = 0\,m[/tex], the time taken for the projectile to reach the water is:

[tex]80 - 4.094\cdot t^{2} = 0[/tex]

[tex]t = \sqrt{\frac{80}{4.094} }\,s[/tex]

[tex]t \approx 4.420\,s[/tex]

The projectile takes approximately 4.420 seconds to reach the water.

(b) The horizontal scope is the horizontal distance done by the projectile before reaching the water. If [tex]t \approx 4.420\,s[/tex], the horizontal scope of the projectile is:

[tex]x = 360\cdot (4.420)[/tex]

[tex]x = 1591.2\,m[/tex]

The horizontal scope of the projectile is 1591.2 meters.

(c) If [tex]t = 2\,s[/tex], the height that remains to descend is:

[tex]y = 80-4.094\cdot (2)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = 63.624\,m[/tex]

The remaining height to descend after 2 seconds of being launched is 63.624 meters.

Suppose the maximum safe intensity of microwaves for human exposure is taken to be 1.00 W/m2. (a) If a radar unit leaks 50.0 W of microwaves (other than those sent by its antenna) uniformly in all directions, how far away (in cm) must you be to be exposed to an intensity considered to be safe

Answers

Answer:

The safe distance is 199 cm approximately 200 cm

Explanation:

Safe intensity = 1.00 W/m^2

wattage of radar leaked radar = 50.0 W

safe distance from the microwave will be = ?

We know that the intensity of a wave radiated uniformly in all direction is given as

[tex]I[/tex] = [tex]\frac{W}{A}[/tex]

where

W is the wattage of the leaked radar

A is the radial area, which is the area of a sphere that encapsulates the region through which this wave spreads uniformly.

From the equation above,

[tex]A[/tex] = [tex]\frac{W}{I}[/tex] = 50/1 = 50 m^2

But the area of this sphere [tex]A[/tex] = [tex]4\pi r^{2}[/tex]

where

r is the safe distance from the radar source

substituting for the area, we have

50 = 4 x 3.142 x [tex]r^{2}[/tex]

50 = 12.568 [tex]r^{2}[/tex]

[tex]r^{2}[/tex] = 50/12.568 = 3.978

r = [tex]\sqrt{3.978}[/tex] = 1.99 m = 199 cm ≅ 200 cm

A polonium isotope with an atomic mass of 211.988868 u undergoes alpha decay, resulting in a daughter isotope with an atomic mass of 207.976652 u. Ignoring any recoil of the daughter, find the kinetic energy of the emitted alpha particle in megaelectronvolts (MeV).

Answers

Answer:

 K = 9.53 MeV

Explanation:

The kinetic energy that the alpha particle has emitted, is the energy in excess after removing the resting energy of the atoms and the helium nucleus that forms the alpha particle

Since energy and masses are related and cannot be

          m₀ c² = [tex]m_{f}[/tex] c² + m_He c²+ K

          K = c² (m₀ - m_{f} - m_He)

           

the mass of the Helium atom is 4 u

           K = (3 10⁸)² (211,988868 -207.976652 - 4,002) 1,661 10⁻²⁷

           K = 14,949 10⁻¹¹ (0.0102)

             

          K = 1,527 10⁻¹² J

(a) Two microwave frequencies are authorized for use in microwave ovens: 900 and 2560 MHz. Calculate the wavelength of each. (b) Which frequency would produce smaller hot spots in foods due to interference effects

Answers

Answer:

a) wavelength for the two frequencies are 0.33 m and 0.12 m

(b) 2560 MHz

Explanation:

Given:

microwave frequencies are

900 and 2560 MHz

f1= 900MHz we need to convert it to Go so the unit will be able to be consistent

f1= 900MHz= 900× 10^6Hz

f2= 2560 MHz= 2560×10^6Hz

a)Calculate the wavelength of each

But we can calculate our wavelength λ using the below formula

λ=c/f

c which is the speed of light has a constant value of =3*10^8m/s

Then for the first frequency

λ=c/f =(3×10^8)/900×10^6

=0.33 m

=33 cm.

For the second frequency

λ=c/f = (3×10^8)/2560×10^6

=0.12 m

=12 cm

(b) Which frequency would produce smaller hot spots in foods due to interference effects

(b) 2560 MHz( has the smallest wavelength)

This is because a small wavelength microwave gives a pattern with which is interference with waves and have a closer hotspot

A boat floats in a lake. When the boat moves the force of resistance is proportional to the velocity of the boat. Initially the boat is at rest. A person walks from the stern to the bow of the boat. What will be the position of the boat long time after the person stopped moving?

Answers

Answer: Contant.

Explanation:

You are given that When the boat moves the force of resistance is proportional to the velocity of the boat. This means that the total momentum on the boat is equal to zero. Then the boat remains at a certain position.

When a person walks from the stern to the bow of the boat, the boat will tend to move in the opposite direction with equal magnitude of momentum. The magnitude of forces will thereby cancel out.

The person will be seen moving while the boat moves in the opposite direction.

If no external force is acting on the boat, the sum of the momentum of the person and the boat will be equal to zero. And the boat will remain at rest.

The position of the boat long time after the person stopped moving will therefore remain the same.

Una masa de 0,5 kg está sobre una pendiente inclinada 20º sujeta mediante una cuerda paralela a la pendiente que impide que deslice. Si no hay rozamiento, ¿qué fuerza hace la cuerda?

Answers

Answer:

4.61 N

Explanation:

masa = 0.5 kg

ángulo de inclinación = 20°

Peso normal de la masa = mg

donde m = masa

g = aceleración debido a la gravedad = 9.81 m/s^2

Peso normal = 0.5 x 9.81 = 4.905 N

Si la masa se mantiene en su lugar mediante una cuerda paralela al plano, y no hay fricción en la masa, entonces

La fuerza sobre la cuerda = peso normal x cos ∅

donde ∅ = 20 °

La fuerza sobre la cuerda = 4.905 x cos 20°

==> 4.61 N

Two runners start at a distance of 10 miles from each other. They run towards each other at a constant velocity of 5 mph. A fly takes off from runner one’s nose at time zero. The fly has a constant velocity of 20 mph and flies between the runners. Find the total distance that the fly has traveled when the runners collide.

Answers

Answer:

The fly will travel 20 miles before the runners collide with each other.

Explanation:

Since the runners are both traveling at the same speed, they will meet and collide in the exact middle of each other which is 5 miles away from their starting point. Since they are traveling at 5 mph, it will take exactly one hour before they collide. The fly is going 20 mph so it will travel 20 miles before the runners collide in one hour.

statement about states of matter?
A. Most matter on Earth exists as a solid, liquid, or gas.
B. Plasma, the fourth state of matter, is abundant on Earth.
C. Matter never changes from a solid to a liquid or a gas.
D. Most matter in the universe is liquid.

Answers

The statement that is the most true regarding the states of matter is the first statement.

A. Most matter on Earth exists as a solid, liquid, or gas.

This is correct since most of the matter on Earth exists in those 3 states, meanwhile plasma is not a state that most of matter on earth is found in since it is mostly associated to stars and the external galactic regions.

Therefore, B is incorrect.

C is false, since almost of all of the matter on earth can transform and change through each of the 3 states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas.

D is false since most of the matter in universe is actually made out of plasma instead of a liquid. In fact, over 99% of the known universe's matter is said to consist of plasma.

Matter can be defined as the material substance which constitutes the observable nature. Most matter on Earth exists as a solid, liquid, or gas. Plasma is also the state of matter found in daily life. The correct option is A.

What are states of matter?

All the materials which we see in our daily lives are made up of matter. Matter can be classified into different states such as solid, liquid and gas based on the intermolecular forces and the arrangement of particles. All the three states of matter can be converted from one form to another.

The molecules of solid are tightly packed and they have strong intermolecular forces which also has a definite shape and volume. The liquids have weak intermolecular forces than the solids and it acquire the shape of the vessel.

The intermolecular forces in gases are negligible and they do not have any fixed shape or volume.

Thus the correct option is A.

Remember, you can assume the following things: The whistle you use to call your hunting dog has a frequency of 21.0 kHz, but your dog is ignoring it. You suspect the whistle may not be working, but you can't hear sounds above 20.0 kHz. The speed of sound is 330 m/s at the current air temperature.

Answers

Answer:

The minimum riding speed relative to the whistle (stationary) to be able to hear the sound at 21.0 kHz frequency is 15.7  m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler shift equation is given as follows;

[tex]f' = \dfrac{v - v_o}{v + v_s} \times f[/tex]

Where:

f' = Required observed frequency = 20.0 kHz

f = Real frequency = 21.0 kHz

v = Sound wave velocity = 330 m/s

[tex]v_o[/tex] = Observer velocity = X m/s

[tex]v_s[/tex] = Source velocity = 0 m/s (Assuming the source is stationary)

Which gives;

[tex]20 = \dfrac{330- v_o}{330+0} \times 21[/tex]

330 - [tex]v_o[/tex] = (20/21)*330

[tex]v_o[/tex] = 330 - (20/21)*330 = 15.7 m/s

The minimum riding speed relative to the whistle (stationary) to be able to hear the sound at 21.0 kHz frequency = 15.7  m/s.
