A meteoroid is first observed approaching the earth when it is 402,000 km from the center of the earth with a true anomaly of 150. If the speed of the meteoroid at that time is 2.23 km/s, calculate
(a) the eccentricity of the trajectory;
(b) the altitude at closest approach; and
(c) the speed at the closest approach.

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 402000 km

Speed = 2.23 m/s

Angle = 150

(a). We need to calculate the eccentricity of the trajectory

Using formula of eccentricity

[tex]\epsilon=\dfrac{v^2}{2}-\dfrac{\mu}{r}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\epsilon=\dfrac{2.23^2}{2}-\dfrac{398600}{402000}[/tex]

[tex]\epsilon=1.4949\ km^2/s^2[/tex]

We need to calculate the angular momentum

Using formula of  the angular momentum

[tex]h^2=-\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\mu^2}{\epsilon}(1-e^2)[/tex]

[tex]h^2=-\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{(398600)^2}{1.4949}(1-e^2)[/tex]

[tex]h^2=-5.3141\times10^{10}(1-e^2)[/tex]...(I)

The orbit equation is

[tex]h^2=\mu r(1+e\cos\theta)[/tex]

[tex]h^2=398600\times402000(1-+\cos150)[/tex]

[tex]h^2=16.02372\times10^{10}(1-e0.8660)[/tex]

[tex]h^2=16.02372\times10^{10}-e13.877\times10^{10}[/tex]....(II)

Equating the value of h²

[tex]-5.3141\times10^{10}(1-e^2)=16.02372\times10^{10}-e13.877\times10^{10}[/tex]

[tex]-5.3141+5.3141e^2=13.877e+16.02372[/tex]

[tex]5.3141e^2+13.877e-21.33782=0[/tex]

[tex]e = 0, 1.086[/tex]

(b). We need to calculate the altitude at closest approach

Put the value of e in equation (I)

[tex]h^2=16.02372\times10^{10}-1.086\times13.877\times10^{10}[/tex]

[tex]h^2=9.53298\times10^{9}\ km^4/s^2[/tex]

Now, using the formula of the altitude at closest

[tex]r_{perigee}=\dfrac{h^2}{\mu}\dfrac{1}{1+e}[/tex]

[tex]r_{perigee}=\dfrac{9.53298\times10^{9}}{398600}\dfrac{1}{1+1.086}[/tex]

[tex]r_{perigee}=11465\ km[/tex]

So, The altitude is

[tex]z_{perigee}=r_{perigee}-r_{earth}[/tex]

[tex]z_{perigee}=11465-6378[/tex]

[tex]z_{perigee}=5087\ km[/tex]

(c). We need to calculate the  speed at the closest approach.

Using formula of speed

[tex]v_{perigee}=\dfrac{h}{r_{perigee}}[/tex]

[tex]v_{perigee}=\dfrac{\sqrt{9.53298\times10^{9}}}{11465}[/tex]

[tex]v_{perigee}=8.516\ km/s[/tex]

Hence, This is the required solution.

Answer 2

(a) The eccentricity of the meteoroid's trajectory is approximately -0.226. This value indicates the deviation of the orbit from a perfect circle, with negative eccentricity suggesting an elliptical orbit.

(b) At its closest approach, or perigee, the meteoroid is at an altitude of about 595,261 kilometers from the Earth's center. This is the point in its trajectory where it is closest to Earth.

(c) The speed of the meteoroid at its closest approach is approximately 3.69 kilometers per second. This velocity is characteristic of its orbital motion when it is nearest to Earth and is determined by the specific orbital energy and gravitational influences.

To calculate the eccentricity (e), altitude at closest approach (perigee), and speed at the closest approach, we can use the vis-viva equation and orbital mechanics. The vis-viva equation relates the specific orbital energy (ε) to the semi-major axis (a), eccentricity (e), and velocity (v) of an object in orbit:

ε = v²/2 - μ/a

Where:

ε = specific orbital energy

v = velocity of the object

μ = standard gravitational parameter of Earth (approximately 3.986 x 10^5 km³/s²)

a = semi-major axis of the trajectory

We are given the speed of the meteoroid at a distance of 402,000 km from the Earth's center, which we'll use as v. We'll also use μ for Earth's gravitational parameter.

First, let's find the semi-major axis (a):

ε = v²/2 - μ/a

Rearrange to solve for a:

a = μ / (2μ/v² - 1/v²)

a = (3.986 x 10^5 km³/s²) / (2 * (3.986 x 10^5 km³/s²) / (2.23 km/s)² - (1 / (2.23 km/s)²))

a ≈ 491,453 km

(a) The semi-major axis (a) is approximately 491,453 km.

Next, let's calculate the eccentricity (e) using the true anomaly (ν) and the semi-major axis:

e = cos(ν) - r/a

e = cos(150°) - (402,000 km) / (491,453 km)

e ≈ -0.226

(b) The eccentricity (e) is approximately -0.226.

Now, to find the altitude at closest approach (perigee), we need to calculate the perigee distance (rp) using the semi-major axis and eccentricity:

rp = a(1 - e)

rp = (491,453 km) * (1 - (-0.226))

rp ≈ 595,261 km

(c) The perigee distance is approximately 595,261 km.

To find the speed at closest approach (closest approach velocity), we can use the vis-viva equation again:

v = sqrt(μ * (2/r - 1/a))

Where r is the distance from the center of the Earth (rp at perigee).

v = sqrt((3.986 x 10^5 km³/s²) * (2 / (595,261 km) - 1 / (491,453 km)))

v ≈ 3.69 km/s

(c) The speed at closest approach is approximately 3.69 km/s.

Separation distance, d = 1.9 m

Solution:

To find the magnitude of electric field at the mid point,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q is given by:

Now,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q' is given by:

[tex]\vec{E'} = \frac{Q'}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\vec{E'} = \frac{42\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\vec{E'} = 418.84 N/C[/tex]

Now,

The net Electric field is given by:

[tex]\vec{E_{net}} = \vec{E} - \vec{E'}[/tex]

[tex]\vec{E_{net}} = 708.03 - 418.84 = 289.19 N/C[/tex]

Therefore, potential energy is decreases when negative charge ion moves through the water from negative probe to positive probe.

On a hot summer day in the state of Washington while kayaking, I saw several swimmers jump from a railroad bridge into the Snohomish River below. The swimmers stepped off the bridge, and I estimated that they hit the water 1.50 s later. a.) How high was the bridge?
b.) How fast were the swimmers moving when they hit the water?
c.) What would the swimmer's drop time be if the bridge were twice as high?

Answers

Final answer:

The bridge was approximately 11.01 meters high. The swimmers were moving at a speed of around 14.72 m/s when they hit the water. If the bridge were twice as high, the drop time would be about 2.12 seconds.

Explanation:

The subject in question involves principles of physics, specifically gravitational acceleration. When an object is dropped, it falls under the influence of gravity. This is usually around 9.81 m/s2 on Earth. Using the formula for motion d=1/2gt^2, where d is the distance or height, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time it takes for the object to fall.

a.) For calculation of the bridge's height, plug in the values of time (t=1.5s) and gravity (g=9.81m/s^2) into the equation, we get d=1/2*(9.81)*(1.5)^2 = 11.01 meters. The height of the bridge from which they jumped is approximately 11 meters.

 

b.) To calculate how fast the swimmers were moving when they hit the water, we can use the equation v=gt, where v is the velocity or speed. Plugging in the values, we get v=(9.81)*(1.5) = 14.72 m/s. So, the swimmers were moving at about 14.7 meters per second when they hit the water.

c.) If the bridge were twice as high, the time of drop would be found using the equation t= sqrt(2d/g), where d is now twice the original distance = 2*11.01 = 22.02 meters. Substituting the given values, we get t= sqrt(2(22.02)/9.81) = 2.12 seconds. The swimmer's drop time would be approximately 2.12 seconds.

(This is a non-relativistic warm-up problem, to get you to think about reference frames.) A girl throws a baseball upwards at time t=0. She catches it at exactly t=2.0 seconds. A) Calculate the position of the ball as a function of time (0

Answers

Answer:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

Explanation:

We set a frame of reference with origin at the hand of the girl the moment she releases the ball. We assume her hand will be in the same position when she catches it again. The positive X axis point upwards.The ball will be subject to a constant gravitational acceleration of -9.81 m/s^2.

We use the equation for position under constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2

X0 = 0 because it is at the origin of the coordinate system.

We know that at t = 2, the position will be zero.

X(2) = 0 = V0 * 2 + 1/2 * -9.81 * 2^2

0 = 2 * V0 - 4.9 * 4

2 * V0 = 19.6

V0 = 9.8 m/s

Then the position of the ball as a function of time is:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

You are designing a delivery ramp for crates containing exercise equipment. The 1890 N crates will move at 1.8 m/s at the top of a ramp that slopes downward at 22.0◦. The ramp exerts a 515 N kinetic friction force on each crate, and the maximum static friction force also has this value. Each crate will compress a spring at the bottom of the ramp and will come to rest after traveling a total distance of 5.0 m along the ramp. Once stopped, a crate must not rebound back up the ramp. Calculate the largest force constant of the spring that will be needed to meet the design criteria.

Answers

Final answer:

The largest force constant of the spring can be found by balancing the kinetic energy of the crate at the top of the ramp with the elastic potential energy of the compressed spring at the bottom of the ramp and taking into consideration the static friction.

Explanation:Calculating the force constant

To calculate the largest force constant of the spring at the bottom of the ramp, we would use Hooke's law which states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position. This force can be represented by -kx, where k is the force constant and x is the displacement. The displacement in our scenario is the movement of the crate down the ramp. We know that at the base of the ramp, kinetic energy of the crate will be transformed into elastic potential energy as it compresses the spring.

The kinetic energy of the crate at the top of the ramp will be 1/2*m*v^2 (mass * velocity squared) and at the bottom it will be converted into the potential energy of the compressed spring represented by 1/2*k*x^2. Here, given mass of the crate as 1890/9.81 kg, its velocity as 1.8 m/s, and it travels 5m along the ramp.

Setting these two energies equal, we can find the value of spring constant k.

Also, based on the problem, the static friction must be overcome at the bottom of the ramp to avoid the crate rebound. This scenario involves the interplay of several fundamental concepts in physics including kinetic and potential energy, the work-energy principle, and concepts of kinetic and static friction.

Answer:

(a) [tex]v_{1}=0+a_{1}t_{1}   = a_{1}t_{1}[/tex].

(b) [tex]v_{final}=v_{initial}+at\\ v_{2}=v_{1}+a_{2}  t_{2}[/tex]

(c) [tex]219807.5m[/tex]  

Explanation:

Part (a):

To find an expression for the rocket's speed [tex]v_{1}[/tex] at time [tex]t_{1}[/tex], we use the constant acceleration model, which relates these variables with the expression:[tex]v_{final} =v_{intial}+at[/tex]. In this case, the initial velocity is null, because accelerates from rest. So, we take all values of the first interval, and we replace it to find the expression:

[tex]v_{1}=0+a_{1}t_{1}   = a_{1}t_{1}[/tex]. (expression for the first interval).

Part (b):

Then, we do the same process to find the expression of the second interval, we just replace the variables given:

[tex]v_{final}=v_{initial}+at\\ v_{2}=v_{1}+a_{2}  t_{2}[/tex]

In this case, you can notice that the initial velocity used is the one we obtain from the first interval, because the end of the first period is the beginning of the second period.

Part (c):

To calculate the total distance we have to sum the distance covered during the two intervals, that it's translated as: [tex]d_{total} = d_{1} + d_{2}[/tex].

Then, we use this equation to replace in each distance: [tex]v_{final}^{2} = v_{initial}^{2}  +2ad[/tex].

Isolating d we have:

[tex]d=\frac{v_{final}^{2}-v_{initial}^{2}}{2a}[/tex].

Now, we apply the equation to each interval to obtain [tex]d_{1}[/tex] and [tex]d_{2}[/tex]:

[tex]d_{1}=\frac{v_{1}^{2}-0}{2a_{1}}[/tex].

[tex]d_{2}=\frac{v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2}}{2a_{2}}[/tex].

Before calculating the total distance, we need to know the magnitude of each speed.

[tex]v_{1}=a_{1}t_{1}[/tex]

[tex]v_{1}=(67)(39)=[tex]v_{2}=v_{1}+a_{2}  t_{2}= 2613\frac{m}{s^{2}}+34\frac{m}{s^{2}}(49sec)=4279\frac{m}{s}[/tex][/tex]

At last, we use all values known to calculate the total distance:

[tex]d_{total} = d_{1} + d_{2}[/tex]

[tex]d_{total} =\frac{v_{1}^{2}-0}{2a_{1}} + \frac{v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2}}{2a_{2}}[/tex].

[tex]d_{total} =\frac{(2613)^{2} }{2(67)} +\frac{(4279)^{2}-(2613)^{2}  }{2(34)}\\ d_{total}=50953.5+168854=219807.5m[/tex]  

Therefore, the total distance traveled until the ends of the second period is [tex]219807.5m[/tex]. The rocket is in the Thermosphere.

The Bonneville Salt Flats, located in Utah near the border with Nevada, not far from interstate I80, cover an area of over 30000 acres. A race car driver on the Flats first heads north for 6.71 km, then makes a sharp turn and heads southwest for 1.33 km, then makes another turn and heads east for 3.67 km. How far is she from where she started?

Answers

Final answer:

The race car driver is approximately 7.644 km from where she started.

Explanation:

To find the distance from where the race car driver started, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. We can consider the north-south movement as one leg of a right triangle, and the east-west movement as the other leg. The distance from the starting point is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the two legs. In this case, the north-south leg is 6.71 km and the east-west leg is 3.67 km. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance from the starting point is:

d = √((6.71 km)² + (3.67 km)²)

d = √(44.9041 km² + 13.4689 km²)

d = √(58.3730 km²)

d = 7.644 km

Therefore, the race car driver is approximately 7.644 km from where she started.

What is the percent abundance of the heaviest isotope?

Answers

Answer:

percent abundance of the heaviest isotope is 78 %

Explanation:

given data

atomic weight = 48.68 amu

mass 1 = 47 amu

mass 2 = 48 amu

mass 3 = 49 amu

natural abundance = 10 %

to find out

percent abundance of the heaviest isotope

solution

we consider here percent abundance of the heaviest isotope is x

so here lightest isotope = 47 amu of 10 %   ..........1

and heaviest isotope = 49 amu of x       ................2

and middle isotope = 48 amu of 100 - 10 - x      ........3

so

average mass = add equation 1 + 2 + 3

average mass = 10% ( 47) + x% ( 49) + (90 - x) % (48)

48.68 = 4.7 + 0.49 x + 43.2 - 0.48 x

x = 0.78

so percent abundance of the heaviest isotope is 78 %

Gravity (g): 9.806 m/s²

In order to prevent water from entering, the air pressure must be equal to the pressure exerted by the seawater at the bottom. We can find that pressure (P) using the following expression.

P = ρ × g × h

P = (1.024 × 10³ kg/m³) × (9.806 m/s²) × 1000 m

P = 1.004 × 10⁷ Pa

Given that:

p = magnitude of charge on a proton = [tex]1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]

k = Boltzmann constant = [tex]9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2[/tex]

r = distance between the two carbon nuclei = 1.00 nm = [tex]1.00\times 10^{-9}\ m[/tex]

Since a carbon nucleus contains 6 protons.

So, charge on a carbon nucleus is [tex]q = 6p=6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C=9.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]

We know that the electric potential energy between two charges q and Q separated by a distance r is given by:

So, the potential energy between the two nuclei of carbon is as below:

[tex]U= \dfrac{kqq}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{kq^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{9\times10^9\times (9.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.0\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow U =8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J[/tex]

Hence, the energy stored between two nuclei of carbon is [tex]8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J[/tex].

A friend tells you that a scientific law cannot be changed. State whether or not your friend is correct and then briefly explain your answer.

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

The person stating that the scientific law cannot be changed is not correct in his claim.

A scientific law can be defined as a statement that is deemed to explain or predict a natural process and is validated by repeated experiments.

In the light of above statement we may conclude that if the law is validated by experiments it should not be subjected to change but this is not the case as an experiment may be done in the future that invalidates the law.

A classical example of this case is the whole of Newtonian law of gravitation. Classically if we analyse this law it is perfect to describe the motion of solar system , planets ,satellites found in nature hence we should find it absolutely correct and since rockets are designed on the basis of this law we can safely assume that it is correct but it is not the case as the gravity is described radically differently by Einstein by his general theory of relativity thus invalidating the newton's law of gravity.

But we still use the Newton's law of gravity as the error's that are involved in the results of the newton's law are not significant to influence any radical departure from the design philosophy of objects such as rocket's or satellites. It always boils down to the accuracy that we need but theoretically we can say that newton's law of gravity was invalidated by Einstein's general theoty of relativity.

A parachutist descending at a speed of 15.1 m/s loses a shoe at an altitude of 41.2 m. What is the speed of the shoe just before it hits the ground? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. When does the shoe reach the ground? Answer in units of s.

Answers

Final answer:

To find the speed at which the shoe hits the ground, we use the equation v = √(u²+2as). To determine the time it takes for the shoe to hit the ground, we use the formula t = √(2h/g). Substituting the given values into these equations, we can find the speed at which the shoe hits the ground and the time it takes to do so.

Explanation:

The question is both a physics problem related to gravity and the free fall of an object. First, we need to find the final velocity of the shoe when it hits the ground. To calculate this, we can use the following equation from physics: v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time. Since the shoe starts from the initial velocity of the parachutist (15.1 m/s), the acceleration a is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²), and it falls a distance of 41.2m, we will need to use the equation v = √(u²+2as) to solve for v.

Next, to determine when the shoe hits the ground, we use the equation for time in free fall: t = √(2h/g), where h is the height (41.2 m), and g is acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²). Substituting the given values, we can find the times when the shoe will hit the ground.

The spherical shell carries charge with a uniform density of-1.30 μC/m^3. A proton moves in a circular orbit just outside the shcal shell. Calculate the speed of the proton.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Total volume of the shell on which charge resides

= 4/3 π ( R₁³ - R₂³ )

= 4/3 X 3.14 ( 33³ - 20³) X 10⁻⁶ m³

= 117 x 10⁻³ m³

Charge inside the shell

-117 x 10⁻³ x 1.3 x 10⁻⁶

= -152.1 x 10⁻⁹ C

Charge at the center

= - 60 x 10⁻⁹ C

Total charge inside the shell

= - (152 .1 + 60 ) x 10⁻⁹ C

212.1 X 10⁻⁹C

Force between - ve charge and proton

F = k qQ / R²

k = 9 x 10⁹ .

q = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ ( charge on proton )

Q = 212.1 X 10⁻⁹ ( charge on shell )

R = 33 X 10⁻² m ( outer radius )

F = [tex]\frac{9\times10^9\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times212.1\times 10^{-9}}{(33\times10^{-2})^2}[/tex]

F = 2.8 X 10⁻¹⁵ N

This force provides centripetal force for rotating proton

mv² / R = 2.8 X 10⁻¹⁵

V² = R X 2.8 X 10⁻¹⁵ / m

= 33 x 10⁻² x 2.8 x 10⁻¹⁵ /(  1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ )

A girl is helping her brother slide their dog m = 25kg along an icy frictionless sidewalk. The boy is pulling a rope T = 10N tied to the dogs collar and the girl is pushing with 7N of force. What is the Net force on the dog and it's acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

0.68 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the dog,  m = 25 kg

Tension in the rope = 10 N

Force applied by the girl on the dog = 7 N

Now,

since the boy is pulling the dog and the girl is pushing the dog

Thus,

The net force on the dog = 10 N + 7 N = 17 N

also,

Net force on the dog = Mass × Acceleration

thus,

25 kg × Acceleration = 17 N

or

Acceleration = [tex]\frac{\textup{17 N}}{\textup{25 kg}}[/tex]

or

Acceleration = 0.68 m/s²

A basketball player is running at 4.80 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity.

Answers

Answer:

a) 3.56m/s

b) 1.73m

Explanation:

We have to treat this as a parabolic motion problem:

we will use the next formulas:

[tex]V=Vo+a*t\\Vy^2=Vyo^2+2*a*Y\\X=Vox*t[/tex]

we first have to calculate the initial velocity of the basketball player:

[tex]Vy^2=Vyo^2+2*a*Y\\0^2=Vyo^2+2*(-9.8)*(0.650)\\Vyo=\sqrt{2*9.8*0.650} \\Vyo=3.56 m/s[/tex]

the final velocity is zero when he reaches the maximun height.

To answer the second part we need to obtain the time to reach the maximun height, so:

[tex]V=Vo+a*t\\\\0=3.56+(-9.8)*t\\t=0.36 seconds[/tex]

Now having that time, let's find the distance on the X axis, the X axis behaves as constant velocity movement, so:

[tex]X=Vox*t\\X=4.80*0.36\\X=1.73m[/tex]

Answer:

The emission spectrum is always the same and can be used to identify the element and part of the Bohr model proposed that electrons in the hydrogen are located in particular orbits around the nucleos are True.

Explanation:

The Niels Bohr and quantic mecanic theorys are both based on the study of atomics spectrums. The atomic spectrum is a characteristic pattern of a light wavelenght emited wich is unique to each element.

For example, if we put some low pressure hydrogen in a glass tube and in the tp of the glass we apply a voltage big enough to produce a electric current in the hydrogen gas, the tube its going to emit light wich have a color dependig of the gas element in the interior. If we observe this light with a spectrometer we are going to see shining lines and each one of this lines have a wavelenght and diferent colors. This lines are called emission spectrum and the wavelength of that spectrum are unique to eache element.

Summering up, we can identify elements using the emission spectrum because any element produces the same spectrum than other element.

 According to Niels Bhor theory  the electron only can be in especific discret ratios to the nucleus. Where this electron moves himself in circukar orbits under the influence of the Coulomb attraction force.

A ball at the end of a string of 2.2m length rotates at
aconstant speed in a horizontal circle. It makes 5.8 rev/s. What
isthe frequency of motion( ans. in Hz).?

Answers

Answer:

The frequency of motion is 5.8 Hz.

Explanation:

frequency of motion of any object is defined as the number of times the object repeats it's motion in 1 second.

mathematically frequency equals [tex]f=\frac{1}{T}[/tex]

where,

'T' is the time it takes for the object to complete one revolution. Since it is given that the ball completes 5.8 revolutions in 1 seconds thus the time it takes for 1 revolution equals [tex]\frac{1}{5.8}s[/tex]

Hence[tex]T=\frac{1}{5.8}s[/tex]

thus the frequency equals

[tex]\frac{1}{\frac{1}{5.8}}s^{-1}\\\\f=5.8s^{-1}=5.8Hz[/tex]

Answer:

5.8 Hz.

Explanation:

Given:

The length of the string to which the ball is attached, L = 2.2 m. The number of revolutions, the ball is making in unit time = 5.8 rev/s.

The frequency of the motion of a rotating object is defined the total number of revolutions the object makes in unit time. It is measured in units of Hertz (Hz) or per second.

It is given that the ball is making 5.8 revolutions in one second, therefore, its frequency of motion would be the same, i.e., 5.8 Hz.

Given a particle that has the velocity v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) meters, a. Find the acceleration at 3 seconds. b. Find the displacement at 2 seconds.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a )  V = 3 cos(0.5t)

differentiating with respect to t

dv /dt = -3 x .5 sin0.5t

= -1.5 sin0.5t.

acceleration = - 1.5 sin 0.5t

when t = 3 s

acceleration = - 1.5 sin 1.5

= - 1.496 ms⁻²

v = 3 cos.5t

b )  dx/dt = 3 cos 0.5 t

dx = 3 cos 0.5 t dt

integrating on both sides

x = 3 sin .5t / .5

x = 6 sin0.5t

At t = 2 s

x = 6 sin 1

x = 5.05 m

A basketball center holds a basketball straight out, 2.0 m above the floor, and releases it. It bounces off the floor and rises to a height of 1.5 m. a) What is the ball's velocity just before it hits the floor? b) What is the ball's velocity just after it leaves the floor? c) If the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.02 seconds, what are the magnitude and direction of the ball's average acceleration while in contact with the floor?

Answers

Final answer:

The basketball's velocity just before hitting the floor is approximately -6.26 m/s (downward), while just after it leaves the floor, it reaches around 5.42 m/s (upward). During the brief 0.02 seconds it's in contact with the floor, its average acceleration is enormous, about 584 m/s², and directed upward.

Explanation:

This question involves the physics concept of velocity and acceleration related to a bouncing basketball. Let's dig into the details one by one:

(a) The ball's velocity just before hitting the floor:

Using Physics, the velocity of an object just before it hits the ground can be calculated using the equation for motion that involves falling from a height namely v² = u² + 2gh, where u is the initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity, v is the final velocity and h is the height. Since the ball was released, the initial velocity (u) is 0, g is approximately 9.8 m/s² (negative because the ball is falling downwards), and h is -2.0 m (negative because it is below the release point). Solving for v, the equation transforms to v = sqrt(u² + 2gh) = sqrt(0 + 2*(-9.8)*(-2)) = sqrt(39.2) which is approximately 6.26 m/s (negative, indicating downward).

(b) The ball's velocity just after it leaves the floor:

Assuming the ball reaches the height of 1.5 m with uniform acceleration, we can use the same equation, but this time treating it as a ground-to-air motion with initial velocity 0, g = 9.8 m/s² (positive because the motion is upward), and h = 1.5 m. Solving for v, we get v = sqrt(u² + 2gh) = sqrt(0 + 2*9.8*1.5) = sqrt(29.4) which is approximately 5.42 m/s (positive, indicating upward).

(c) Average acceleration while the ball is in contact with the floor:

Acceleration can be calculated using the formula a = (v_final - v_initial) / t, where v_final is the final velocity, v_initial is the initial velocity, and t is the time. The change in velocity here is the difference between the velocity just after the ball leaves the floor and the velocity just before it hits the floor, i.e., (5.42 m/s - -6.26 m/s) = 11.68 m/s. Given that the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.02 seconds, the average acceleration is therefore a = (11.68 m/s) / 0.02 s = 584 m/s². This is considerably higher than g because while in contact with the floor, the ball is being rapidly decelerated and then accelerated in the opposite direction due to the impact force. The direction is upward, same as the final velocity.

a) Dark matter: a kind of matter we can't directly observe but that we can imply its presence in various observations including gravitational effects which can't be explained by accepting theories of gravity unless more matter is present. This is the reason why dark matter is thought to account for around 80% of the matter in the universe.

b)21cm Radiation: also called hydrogen line, is a spectral line emitted by neutral hydrogen, it has a frequency of 1420megahertz and 21 cm wavelength. In astronomy, this line is used to study the amount and velocity of hydrogen in the galaxy.

Milky way: it's a barred spiral galaxy with more than 200 billion stars, approximately 100000 light-years in diameter and the sun is located about 28000light years from the center.

From the outside its structure has the following characteristics:

Galactic disk: it is made out of old and young stars, as well as gas and dust, gravitational interactions between stars cause a circular motion with up and down motions, this disk is divided in three other parts, a nucleus (the center of the disk), a bulge (around the nucleus) and spiral arms (extended areas)Globular clusters: located above and below the disk, the stars in this zone are older and there's no gar or dust.Halo: large region surrounding the galaxy, it is made of hot gas and dark matter.

Two fundamentals parameters of the milky Way are [tex]R_{0}[/tex] (the radial distance from de sun to the galactic center) and [tex]Θ_{0}[/tex], the galactic rotational velocity at [tex]R_{0}[/tex]

Einstein's Theory of General Relativity: general relativity is a metric theory of gravitation, that defies gravity as a geometric property of space and time, this means there's no gravitational force deflecting objects from their natural straight paths, but a change in properties of space and time that changes this straight path into a curve.

At weak gravitational fields and slow speed, this theory overlaps with Newton's.

Pulsars: they are rotating neutron stars that emit a focused beam of electromagnetic radiation its formation happens when a medium mass star dies and it maintains its angular momentum emitting a powerful blast of radiation along its magnetic field lines. They are useful to search for gravitational waves, and even to find extrasolar planets.
