Answer:
It would have been longer.
Explanation:
Lets assume the Sun angle = θ
Distance between Syene and Alexandria = D
Circumference of Earth = C
As per Eratosthenes' calculations,
[tex]\frac{\theta}{360} =\frac{D}{C}[/tex]
From the above equation it is evident that if the circumference decreases value of θ will increase which implies that the shadow length would be longer as compared to that on the Earth.
If a body travels half its total path in the last 1.50 s of its fall from rest, find the total time of its fall (in seconds).
Answer:
time to fall is 3.914 seconds
Explanation:
given data
half distance time = 1.50 s
to find out
find the total time of its fall
solution
we consider here s is total distance
so equation of motion for distance
s = ut + 0.5 × at² .........1
here s is distance and u is initial speed that is 0 and a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 and t is time
so for last 1.5 sec distance is 0.5 of its distance so equation will be
0.5 s = 0 + 0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)² ........................1
and
velocity will be
v = u + at
so velocity v = 0+ 9.8(t-1.5) ..................2
so first we find time
0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)² = 9.8(t-1.5) + 0.5 ( 9.8)
solve and we get t
t = 3.37 s
so time to fall is 3.914 seconds
Suppose 30.4 mol of krypton is in a rigid box of volume 46 cm3 and is initially at temperature 438.28°C. The gas then undergoes isobaric heating to a temperature of 824°C. (a) What is the final volume of the gas? (b) It is then isothermally compressed to a volume 24.3cm3; what is its final pressure? cm (a) Answer part (a) Answer part (b) (b) Pa
Answer:
Explanation:
Initial volume v₁ =46 x 10⁻⁶ m³
Initial temperature T₁ = 438.28 + 273 = 711.28 K
Initial pressure P₁ = nRT₁ / v₁
= 30.4 x8.3 x 711.28 / (46 x 10⁻⁶ )
= 3901.5 x 10⁶ Pa
Final temperature T₂ = 824 + 273 = 1097 K
Final volume V₂ =?
For isobaric process
v₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂
V₂ = V₁ X T₂ /T₁
= 46 X 10⁻⁶ X 1097/ 711.28
= 70.94 X 10⁻⁶ m³ = 70.94 cm³
b ) For isothermal change
P₁ V₁ = P₂V₂
P₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂
= 3901.5 X 10⁶ X 46 / 24.3
7385.55 X 10⁶ Pa.
You go watch your friend as she runs at a cross country meet. The first time she passes you, your friend runs by going due north at a speed of 4.40 m/s. You move to a different place on the course and twelve minutes after you saw her the first time, your friend runs past you again. This time she is traveling at a speed of 3.80 m/s in the direction 30.0° W of S. What is the direction of her average acceleration between those same two times?
Answer:
76 degree south of west.
Explanation:
We shall represent velocities in vector form , considering east as x axes and west as Y axes.
V₁ = 4.4 j
V₂ = 3.8, 30 degree west of south
V₂ = - 3.8 sin 30 i - 3.8 cos 30 j
= - 1.9 i - 3.29 j
Change in velocity
= V₂ - V₁
= - 1.9 i - 3.29 j - 4.4 j
= - 1.9 i - 7.69 j
Acceleration
= change in velocity / time
(- 1.9 i - 7.69 j ) / 60 ms⁻² .
Direction of acceleration θ
Tan θ = 7.69 / 1.9 =4.047
θ = 76 degree south of west.
The position of a ship traveling due east along a straight line is s(t) = 12t2 + 6. In this example, time t is measured in hours and position s is measured in nautical miles. We will take s = 0 to be the port of Wilmington, NC and the positive direction to be east. How far east of Wilmington is the ship and how fast is it going after one hour, that is, when t = 1?
Answer:
18 miles east; 24 mph east
Explanation:
In order to find how far east of Wilmington is the ship after 1 hour, we just need to substitute t = 1 into the formula of the position.
The equation of the position is
[tex]s(t) = 12 t^2 +6[/tex]
where t is the time. Substituting t = 1,
[tex]s(1) = 12 (1)^2 + 6 = 12+6 = 18 mi[/tex]
So, the ship is 18 miles east of Wilmington.
To find the velocity of the boat, we just need to calculate the derivative of the position, so
[tex]v(t) = s'(t) = 24 t[/tex]
And by substituting t = 1, we find the velocity after 1 hour:
[tex]v(1) = 24 (1) = 24 mph[/tex]
And the direction is east.
a speeding car is travelling at a constant 30.0 m/s when it passes a stationary police car. If the police car delays for 1.00 s before starting, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the police car to catch the speeding car after the police car travels a distance of 300 m?
(A) 6.00 m/s2
(B) 3.00 m/s2
(C) 7.41 m/s2
(D) 1.45 m/s2
(E) 3.70 m/s2
Answer:
option (C)
Explanation:
Speed of car = 30 m/s
Let the time taken by the police car to catch the speeding car is t
The distance traveled by the speeding car in t + 1 second is equal to the distance traveled by the police car in time t
Distance traveled by the police car in time t
[tex]s=ut + 0.5 at^{2}[/tex] .... (1)
Distance traveled by the speeding car in t + 1 second
s = 30 (t + 1) = 300
t + 1 = 10
t = 9 s
Put the value of t in equation (1), we get
300 = 0 + 0.5 x a x 9 x 9
a = 7.41 m/s^2
C. 7.41 meters per square second.
In this question, the car is travelling at constant speed, whereas the police car accelerates uniformly after some delay to catch the car, the respective kinematic formulas are shown below:
Car
[tex]x_{C} = x_{o} + v_{C}\cdot t[/tex] (1)
Police car
[tex]x_{P} = x_{o} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot a_{P}\cdot (t-t')^{2}[/tex] (2)
Where:
[tex]x_{o}[/tex] - Initial position, in meters. [tex]x_{C}[/tex] - Final position of the car, in meters.[tex]x_{P}[/tex] - Final position of the car, in meters. [tex]t[/tex] - Time, in seconds.[tex]t'[/tex] - Delay time, in seconds.[tex]a_{P}[/tex] - Acceleration of the police car, in meters per square seconds.[tex]v_{C}[/tex] - Speed of the car, in meters per second.If we know that [tex]x_{o} = 0\,m[/tex], [tex]x_{C} = x_{P} = 300\,m[/tex], [tex]t' = 1\,s[/tex] and [tex]v_{C} = 30\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then we have the following system of equations:
[tex]300 = 30\cdot t[/tex] (1)
[tex]300 = \frac{1}{2}\cdot a_{P}\cdot (t-1)^{2}[/tex] (2)
By (1):
[tex]t = 10[/tex]
Then we find that acceleration of the police car must be:
[tex]300 = \frac{1}{2}\cdot a_{P}\cdot (10-1)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]a_{P} = 7.407\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]
Therefore, the correct choice is C.

A car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate until it reaches 70 mi/hr in a distance of 220 ft, at which time the clutch is disengaged. The car then slows down to a velocity of 40 mi/hr in an additional distance of 480 ft with a deceleration which is proportional to its velocity. Find the time t for the car to travel the 700 ft.
Answer:
[tex]T = 10.43 s[/tex]
Explanation:
During deceleration we know that the deceleration is proportional to the velocity
so we have
[tex]a = - kv[/tex]
here we know that
[tex]\frac{dv}{dt} = - kv[/tex]
so we have
[tex]\frac{dv}{v} = -k dt[/tex]
now integrate both sides
[tex]\int \frac{dv}{v} = -\int kdt[/tex]
[tex]ln(\frac{v}{v_o}) = - kt[/tex]
[tex]ln(\frac{40}{70}) = - k(t)[/tex]
[tex]kt = 0.56[/tex]
Also we know that
[tex]a = \frac{vdv}{ds}[/tex]
[tex]-kv = \frac{vdv}{ds}[/tex]
[tex]\int dv = -\int kds[/tex]
[tex](v - v_o) = -ks[/tex]
[tex](40 - 70)mph = - k (480 ft)[/tex]
[tex]-30 mph = -k(0.091 miles)[/tex]
[tex]k = 329.67[/tex]
so from above equation
[tex]t = \frac{0.56}{329.67} = 1.7 \times 10^{-3} h[/tex]
[tex]t = 6.11 s[/tex]
initially it starts from rest and uniformly accelerate to maximum speed of 70 mph and covers a distance of 220 ft
so we have
d = 220 ft = 67 m = 0.042 miles[/tex]
now we know that
[tex]d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2} t[/tex]
[tex]0.042 = \frac{70 + 0}{2} t[/tex]
[tex]t = 4.32 s[/tex]
so total time of motion is given as
[tex]T = 4.32 + 6.11 = 10.43 s[/tex]
A person is jumping off a bridge onto the top of a car that is passing underneath. Suppose that the top of the bridge is h=10 meters above the car and the car is moving at a constant speed of V=30 mi/h The person wants to land in the middle of the car. How far from the bridge should the car be when the person jumps. Express the equation in variables then numerically
Answer:
18.96 m
Explanation:
Height from person jump, h = 10 m
Let it takes time t to reach to the car.
Use second equation of motion
[tex]s = ut +0.5at^2[/tex]
Here, a g = 10 m/s^2 , u = 0, h = 10 m
By substituting the values, we get
10 = 0 + 0.5 x 10 x t^2
t = 1.414 s
The speed of car, v = 30 mi/h = 13.41 m/s
Distance traveled by the car in time t , d = v x t = 13.41 x 1.414 = 18.96 m
So, the distance of car from the bridge is 18.96 m as the man jumps.
A 50 cm^3 block of iron is removed from an 800 degrees Celsius furnance and immediately dropped into 200 mL of 20 degrees Celsius water. What percentage of the water boils away?
Answer:
% of water boils away= 12.64 %
Explanation:
given,
volume of block = 50 cm³ removed from temperature of furnace = 800°C
mass of water = 200 mL = 200 g
temperature of water = 20° C
the density of iron = 7.874 g/cm³ ,
so the mass of iron(m₁) = density × volume = 7.874 × 50 g = 393.7 g
the specific heat of iron C₁ = 0.450 J/g⁰C
the specific heat of water Cw= 4.18 J/g⁰C
latent heat of vaporization of water is L_v = 2260 k J/kg = 2260 J/g
loss of heat from iron is equal to the gain of heat for the water
[tex]m_1\times C_1\times \Delta T = M\times C_w\times \Delta T + m_2\times L_v[/tex]
[tex]393.7\times 0.45\times (800-100) = 200\times 4.18\times(100-20) + m_2\times 2260[/tex]
m₂ = 25.28 g
25.28 water will be vaporized
% of water boils away =[tex]\dfrac{25.28}{200}\times 100[/tex]
% of water boils away= 12.64 %
The percentage of the water boils away when the iron block is placed into the water after furnace is 1264%.
What is heat transfer?The heat transfer is the transfer of thermal energy due to the temperature difference.The heat flows from the higher temperature to the lower temperature.
The heat transfer of a closed system is the addition of change in internal energy and the total amount of work done by it.
As the initial volume of the iron block is 50 cm³ and the density of the iron is 7.874 g/cm³. Thus the mass of the iron block is,
[tex]m=50\times7.874\\m=393.7\rm g[/tex]
The temperature of the furnace is 800 degrees Celsius and the specific heat of the iron block is 0.45 J/g-C.
As the boiling point of the water is 100 degree Celsius. Thus the heat loss by the block of iron is,
[tex]Q_L=393.7\times0.45\times(800-100)\\Q_L=124015.5[/tex]
The latent heat of the water is 2260 J/g. Thus the heat gain by vaporized water is,
[tex]Q_v=2260\times m_v\\[/tex]
Now the heat gain by the water is equal to the heat loss by the iron block.
As the specific heat of the water is 4.18 J/g-C and the temperature of the water is 20 degrees and volume of water is 200 ml.
Thus heat gain by water can be given as,
[tex]Q_G=Q_L=200\times4.18(100-20)+2260m_v\\124015.5=200\times4.18(100-20)+2260m_w\\m_v=25.28\rm g[/tex]
Thus the total amount of the water boils away is 25.28 grams.
The percentage of the water boils away is,
[tex]p=\dfrac{25.25}{200}\times100\\p=12.64[/tex]
Thus the percentage of the water boils away when the iron block is placed into the water after furnace is 1264%.

In a TV set, an electron beam moves with horizontal velocity of 4.3 x 10^7 m/s across the cathode ray tube and strikes the screen, 43 cm away. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. How far does the electron beam fall while traversing this distance? Answer in units of m
Answer:
[tex]y=-4.9x10^{-16}m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the exercise we have initial velocity on the x-axis, the final x distance and acceleration of gravity.
[tex]v_{ox}=4.3x10^{7}m/s[/tex]
[tex]x=43cm=0.43m\\g=9.8m/s^{2}[/tex]
From the equation on moving particles we can find how long does it take the electron beam to strike the screen
[tex]x=x_{o}+v_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]
Since [tex]x_{o}=0[/tex] and [tex]a_{x}=0[/tex]
[tex]0.43m=(4.3x10^{7}m/s)t[/tex]
Solving for t
[tex]t=1x10^{-8} s[/tex]
Now, from the equation of free-falling objects we can find how far does the electron beam fell
[tex]y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}[/tex]
[tex]y=-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})(1x10^{-8} s)=-4.9x10^{-16}m[/tex]
The negative sign means that the electron beam fell from its initial point.
A squirrel runs along an overhead telephone wire that stretches from the top of one pole to the next. It is initially at position xi=3.37 mxi=3.37 m , as measured from the center of the wire segment. It then undergoes a displacement of Δx=−6.83 mΔx=−6.83 m . What is the squirrel's final position xfxf ?
Answer:
- 3.46 m
Explanation:
initial position, xi = 3.37 m
displacement, Δx = - 6.83 m
Let the final position is xf.
So, displacement = final position - initial position
Δx = xf - xi
- 6.83 = xf - 3.37
xf = 3.37- 6.83
xf = - 3.46 m
Thus, the final position of the squirrel is - 3.46 m.

Raindrops acquire an electric charge as they fall. Suppose a 2.4-mm-diameter drop has a charge of +13 pC. In a thunderstorm, the electric field under a cloud can reach 15,000 N/C, directed upward. For a droplet exposed to this field, how do the magnitude of the electric force compare to those of the weight force and what is the dircetion of the electric force?
Answer:
567.126 x 10⁻⁶ N
[tex]5.6 x 10^{-6} N[/tex]
Explanation:
Thinking process:
[tex]13pC = 13 x 10^{-12} C[/tex]
The electric field is given by E = 15000 N/C
Electric force on the charge
= charge x electric field
= 13 x 10⁻¹² x 15000
= 195 x 10⁻⁹ N.
The force acts in upward direction as force on positive charge acts in the direction in which electric field exists.
Volume of droplet = 4/3 π R³
R = 2.4 X 10⁻³ m
Volume V = 4/3 x 3.14 x ( 2.4 x 10⁻³)³
= 57.87 x 10⁻⁹ m³
density of water = 1000 kg / m³
mass of water droplet = density x volume
= 1000 x 57. 87 x 10⁻⁹ kg
= 57.87 x 10⁻⁶ kg .
Weight = mass x g
= 57.87 x 10⁻⁶ x 9.8
= 567.126 x 10⁻⁶ N.
Therefore, the weight is more than the electric force.

Time taken by ball to reach ground
[tex]s=ut+\frac{gt^2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]1.45=0+\frac{9.81\times t^2}{2}[/tex]

A paratrooper is initially falling downward at a speed of 27.6 m/s before her parachute opens. When it opens, she experiences an upward instantaneous acceleration of 74 m/s^2. (a) If this acceleration remained constant, how much time would be required to reduce the paratrooper's speed to a safe 4.95 m/s? (Actually the acceleration is not constant in this case, but the equations of constant acceleration provide an easy estimate.) (b) How far does the paratrooper fall during this time interval?
Answer:
a) 0.31 s
b) 19.77 m
Explanation:
We will need the following two formulas:
[tex]V_{f} = V_{0}+at\\\\X=V_{0}t + \frac{at^{2}}{2}[/tex]
We first use the final velocity formula to find the time that it takes to decelerate the paratrooper:
[tex]4.95\frac{m}{s}=27.6\frac{m}{s}-74\frac{m}{s^{2}}t\\\\-22.65\frac{m}{s}=-74\frac{m}{s^{2}}t\\\\t= \frac{22.65\frac{m}{s}}{74\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=0.31s[/tex]
Now that we have the time, we can use the distance formula to calculate the distance travelled by the paratrooper:
[tex]X=27.6\frac{m}{s}*0.31s - \frac{74\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(0.31 s)^{2}}{2}=19.77 m[/tex]
The Asian Silver Carp is an invasive species of fish which has infested a number of American rivers. The disturbance of passing boats has been known to make these fish leap large distances out of the water. One such fish leaps with an initial velocity at the water's surface of 11.0 m/s at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. How high above the water's surface, in meters, does the fish reach?
Answer:
1.93 m
Explanation:
Initial velocity of fish u = 11 m /s
Angle of jump = 34 degree.
Vertical component of its velocity = u sin34 = 11 x.5592 = 6.15 m /s
Considering its motion in vertical direction ,
u = 6.15 m/s
g = - 9.8 m /s
maximum height attained = h
From the formula
v² = u² - 2gh
0 = 6.15x 6.15 - 2 x 9.8 h
h = (6.15 x 6.15 )/ 2 x 9.8
= 1.93 m .
When the saw slices wood, the wood exerts a 104-N force on the blade, 0.128 m from the blade’s axis of rotation. If that force is at right angles to the lever arm, how much torque does the wood exert on the blade? Does this torque make the blade turn faster or slower?
Answer:
Explanation:
When saw slices wood by exerting a force on the wood , wood also exerts a reaction force on the saw in opposite direction which is equal to the force of action that is 104 N.
So torque exerted by wood on the blade
= force x perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation
= 104 x .128
=13.312 Nm.
Since this torque opposes the movement of blade , it turns the blade slower.
If a 10kg block is at rest on a table and a 1200N force is applied in the eastward direction for 10 seconds, what is the acceleration on the block? a. How far does the block travel? b. What is the block's final velocity?
Answer:
120 m/s^2
(a) 6000 m
(b) 1200 m/s
Explanation:
mass, m = 10 kg
initial velocity, u = 0
Force, F = 1200 N
time, t = 10 s
Let a be the acceleration of the block.
By use of Newton,s second law
Force = mass x acceleration
1200 = 10 x a
a = 120 m/s^2
(a) Let the block travels by a distance s.
Use second equation of motion
[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]
s = 0 + 0.5 x 120 x 10 x 10
s = 6000 m
(b) Let v be the final velocity of the block
Use first equation of motion
v = u + at
v = 0 + 120 x 10
v = 1200 m/s

We should only agree with the first statement of the first student but not with the second part of his statement. While as the statement of the other student is completely wrong.
Explanation:
The earth and the moon are locked in a process known as tidal locking. Tidal locking occurs when any object which revolves around other object takes the same amount of time to rotate around it's own axis as it takes to revolve around the planet.
This is exactly the case with moon and the earth system ,the moon is tidally locked with earth thus we cannot see the other side of the moon but this side is not dark as claimed by the first student but this side of the moon is also illuminated by the sunlight as the face of moon that we are able to see.
The second student is wrong as we cannot see the other side of moon from earth.
Final answer:
The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth, which means the same side, the near side, always faces Earth. The far side, incorrectly called the 'dark side,' is not perpetually dark but simply not visible from Earth and receives sunlight just like the near side.
Explanation:
The student who claimed that we always see only one side of the Moon is correct; however, their assertion that the other side is the "dark side" and always dark is incorrect. This is because the Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth—it rotates on its axis in the same amount of time it takes to orbit Earth. Because of this, only one hemisphere, the near side, is visible from Earth, while the other hemisphere, the far side, remains out of view.
The idea that the far side is the "dark side" is a misconception; it receives sunlight just as the near side does, only at different times during the Moon's orbit. The term "dark side" only means that it's the side not visible from Earth. As the Moon revolves around Earth, different parts experience day and night, similar to how the Sun rises and sets on Earth. Therefore, the "dark side" is not perpetually dark; it simply refers to the lunar face we do not see that is also subject to changing illumination by the Sun.
In summary, the correct understanding is that the same side of the Moon always faces Earth, not because it doesn't rotate, but because it has a synchronous orbit with Earth, and the use of the term "dark side" is a misnomer since all parts of the Moon experience both sunlight and darkness at different times.
Gas mileage actually varies slightly with the driving speed of a car (as well as with highway vs. city driving). Suppose your car averages 35 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 45 miles per hour, and it averages 19 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 72 miles per hour. Answer parts (a) and (b) below..
(a) What is the driving time for a 2600-mile trip if you drive at an average speed of 45 miles per hour? What is the driving time at 72 miles per hour?
(b) Assume a gasoline price of $3.05 per gallon. What is the gasoline cost for a 2600-mile trip if you drive at an average speed of 45 miles per hour? What is the gasoline cost at 72 miles per hour?
Answer:
a) Traveling at 45 mph, the driving time is 58 h. Traveling at 72 mph, the driving time will be 36 h.
b) Traveling at 45 mph, the gasoline cost will be $225.7.
Traveling at 72 mpg, the gasoline cost will be $417.9
Explanation:
The average speed can be calculated as the distance traveled over time:
speed = distance / time
Then:
time = distance / speed
a)If you drive at an average speed of 45 mph during a 2600-mile trip, the driving time will be:
time = 2600 mi / 45 mi/h = 58 h
If you drive at 72 mph:
time = 2600 mi / 72 mi/h = 36 h
b) For the 2600-mile trip, you will need ( 2600 mi * (1 gallon/ 35 mi)) 74 gallons if you travel at 45 mph.
If you travel at 72 mph, you will need (2600 mi * (1 gallon /19 mi)) 137 gallons.
Traveling at 45 mph, the gasoline cost will be (74 gallons * ($3,05/gallon)) $225.7
Traveling at 72 mph, the gasoline cost will be (137 gallons * (3.05/gallon)) $417.9
It’s the 18th century and you are responsible for artillery. Victory hangs in the balance and it all depends on you making a good shot towards the enemy fortress. Thankfully, your physics class gave you all the tools to calculate projectile trajectories. Your cannon launches a cannonball at an initial speed of 100 m/s and you set the angle at 53 degrees from the horizontal. Calculate (a) how far from the fortress should you position your cannon in order to hit it at its foundation?; and (b) how far from the fortress should you position your cannon in order to hit it at its top height (10 m) in order to knock it down? (g = 9.8 m/s^2)
Answer:
a) You should position the cannon at 981 m from the wall.
b) You could position the cannon either at 975 m or 7.8 m (not recomended).
Explanation:
Please see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem.
In a parabolic motion, the position of the flying object is given by the vector position:
r =( x0 + v0 t cos α ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²)
where:
r = position vector
x0 = initial horizontal position
v0 = module of the initial velocity vector
α = angle of lanching
y0 = initial vertical position
t = time
g = gravity acceleration (-9.8 m/s²)
The vector "r" can be expressed as a sum of vectors:
r = rx + ry
where
rx = ( x0 + v0 t cos α ; 0)
ry = (0 ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²)
rx and ry are the x-component and the y-component of "r" respectively (see figure).
a) We have to find the module of r1 in the figure. Note that the y-component of r1 is null.
r1 = ( x0 + v0 t cos α ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²)
Knowing the the y-component is 0, we can obtain the time of flight of the cannon ball.
0 = y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²
If the origin of the reference system is located where the cannon is, the y0 and x0 = 0.
0 = v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²
0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t) (we discard the solution t = 0)
0 = v0 sin α + 1/2 g t
t = -2v0 sin α / g
t = -2 * 100 m/s * sin 53° / (-9.8 m/s²) = 16.3 s
Now, we can obtain the x-component of r1 and its module will be the distance from the wall at which the cannon sould be placed:
x = x0 + v0 t cos α
x = 0 m + 100m/s * 16.3 s * cos 53
x = 981 m
The vector r1 can be written as:
r1 = (981 m ; 0)
The module of r1 will be: [tex]x = \sqrt{(981 m)^{2} + (0 m)^{2}}[/tex]
Then, the cannon should be placed 981 m from the wall.
b) The procedure is the same as in point a) only that now the y-component of the vector r2 ( see figure) is not null:
r2y = (0 ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t² )
The module of this vector is 10 m, then, we can obtain the time and with that time we can calculate at which distance the cannon should be placed as in point a).
module of r2y = 10 m
10 m = v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²
0 = 1/2 g t² + v0 t sin α - 10 m
Let´s replace with the data:
0 = 1/2 (-9.8 m/s² ) t² + 100 m/s * sin 53 * t - 10 m
0= -4.9 m/s² * t² + 79.9 m/s * t - 10 m
Solving the quadratic equation we obtain two values of "t"
t = 0.13 s and t = 16.2 s
Now, we can calculate the module of the vector r2x at each time:
r2x = ( x0 + v0 t cos α ; 0)
r2x = (0 m + 100m/s * 16.2 s * cos 53 ; 0)
r2x = (975 m; 0)
Module of r2x = 975 m
at t = 0.13 s
r2x = ( 0 m + 100m/s * 0.13 s * cos 53 ; 0)
r2x = (7.8 m ; 0)
module r2x = 7.8 m
You can place the cannon either at 975 m or at 7.8 m (see the red trajectory in the figure) although it could be dangerous to place it too close to the enemy fortress!
At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.20 m/s^2. At the same instant a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 8.50 m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile. (a) How far beyond the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck? (b) How fast will the automobile be traveling at that instant?
Answer:
a) d=65.7 m : The automobile overtake passes the truck at a distance of 65.7 m from the traffic signal
b) vₐ=16.94m/s : Automobile speed for t = 7.7s
Explanation:
When the car catches the truck, the two will have passed the same time (t) and will have traveled the same distance (d):
Automobile kinematics:
car moves with uniformly accelerated movement:
d = v₀*t + (1/2)a*t²
v₀ = 0 : initial speed
d = (1/2)*a*t² Equation (1)
Truck kinematics:
Truck moves with constant speed:
d = v*t Equation (2)
Data:
a=2.20 m/s² : automobile acceleration
v= 8.50 m/s ; truck speed
Equation (1) =Equation (2)
(1/2)*a*t²= v*t
(1/2)*2.2*t²= 8.5*t We divide both sides of the equation by t:
1.1*t=8.5
t=8.5÷1.1
t=7.7 s
We replace t=7.7 s in the equation (2)
d=8.5*7.7
d=65.7 m
Automobile speed for t = 7.7s
vₐ=v₀₊a*t
vₐ=o₊2,2*7.7
vₐ=16.94m/s
A driver has a reaction time of 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of her car is 6.0 m/s^2 . She is driving at 20 m/s when suddenly she sees an obstacle in the road 50 m in front of her. What is the distance she passes after noticing the obstacle before fully stopping? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Answer:
The car stops after 32.58 m.
Explanation:
t = Time taken for the car to stop
u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s
v = Final velocity = 0
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration = -6 m/s²
Time taken by the car to stop
[tex]v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-20}{-6}\\\Rightarrow t=3.33\ s[/tex]
Total Time taken by the car to stop is 0.5+3.33 = 3.83 s
[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=20\times 3.83+\frac{1}{2}\times -6\times 3.83^2\\\Rightarrow s=32.58\ m[/tex]
The car stops after 32.58 m.
Distance between car and obstacle is 50-32.58 = 17.42 m
A mountain climber stands at the top of a 47.0-m cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. She throws two stones vertically downward 1.00 s apart and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone had an initial velocity of −1.40 m/s. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answers.) (a) How long after release of the first stone did the two stones hit the water? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.)
Answer:
t = 2.96 s
Explanation:
Since the two stones hit the water at same instant of time
so we will have
[tex]d =vt + \frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]
here we know that
d = 47 m
v = 1.4 m/s
[tex]g = 9.81 m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]d = 1.40 t + \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2[/tex]
now by solving above equation for d = 47 m
t = 2.96 s
A baseball is thrown down a hill. This baseball has on-board sensors that can measure its velocities in both the x- and y- directions. The data show that the ball took off with an initial velocity in the y-direction of +4.0 m/s and had a final velocity of –5.8 m/s. Calculate the hang time of the ball. [HINT: Believe it or not, it is possible to calculate hang time (the total time the projectile is in the air) by knowing only the initial and final velocities in the y-direction.]
Answer:1 s
Explanation:
Given
Initial velocity in Y-direction [tex]v_1[/tex]=+4 m/s
Final Velocity in Y-direction [tex]v_2=-5.8 m/s[/tex]
Acceleration in Y-direction is 9.81 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]
Using equation of motion
v=u+at
[tex]-5.8=4+9.81\times t[/tex]
[tex]t=0.998 \approx 1 s[/tex]
The tallest volcano in the solar system is the 23 km tall Martian volcano, Olympus Mons. An astronaut drops a ball off the rim of the crater and that the free fall acceleration of the ball remains constant throughout the ball's 23 km fall at a value of 3.5 m/s^2. (We assume that the crater is as deep as the volcano is tall, which is not usually the case in nature.) Find the time for the ball to reach the crater floor. Answer in units of s. Find the magnitude of the velocity with which the ball hits the crater floor. Answer in units of m/s.
The magnitude of the velocity with which the ball hits the crater floor is approximately 401.24 m/s.
Let's convert the height to meters:
Height = 23 km
= 23,000 m
Now we can use the kinematic equation to find the time it takes for the ball to reach the ground:
[tex]h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]
Where: h = height (23,000 m)
g = acceleration due to gravity (3.5 m/s²)
t = time
Solving for t:
[tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}[/tex]
Plug in the values:
[tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 23000}{3.5}}[/tex]
t=114.64 s
So, the time for the ball to reach the crater floor is approximately 114.64 seconds.
Now calculate the magnitude of the velocity with which the ball hits the crater floor.
We can use the following kinematic equation:
v=gt
Where:
v = final velocity
g = acceleration due to gravity (3.5 m/s²)
t = time (114.64 s)
v=3.5×114.64
v=401.24 m/s
Hence, the magnitude of the velocity with which the ball hits the crater floor is approximately 401.24 m/s.

The time it would take for the ball to hit the crater floor would be approximately 360.8 seconds, and the velocity it would hit the floor with would be approximately 1262.8 m/s.
Explanation:To calculate the time it takes for the ball to reach the crater floor, we use the equation of motion d = 1/2gt^2, where 'd' represents the distance, 'g' represents the acceleration due to gravity, and 't' represents time. Here, the distance is 23,000m (converted from km to m), and the acceleration due to gravity is 3.5 m/s^2. By solving for 't' in this equation, we get t = sqrt(2d/g) = sqrt((2*23000)/3.5) = approx. 360.8s.
To calculate the magnitude of the final velocity as the ball hits the crater floor, we use the equation v = gt, where 'v' is the final velocity and 't' is the amount of time it has fallen. Plugging in the values we have for 'g' and 't', we get v = 3.5 * 360.8s = approx. 1262.8 m/s
Therefore, the time it would take for the ball to hit the crater floor would be approximately 360.8 seconds, and the velocity it would hit the floor with would be approximately 1262.8 m/s.

Two resistors have resistances R(smaller) and R(larger), where R(smaller) < R(larger). When the resistors are connected in series to a 12.0-V battery, the current from the battery is 1.12 A. When the resistors are connected in parallel to the battery, the total current from the battery is 9.39 A. Determine the two resistances.
Using Ohm's law and properties of series and parallel circuits, it's possible to find the resistances. In series, resistances are directly added and for parallel, the reciprocal of total resistance is the sum of reciprocals of individual resistances. Applying these principles with given current and voltage, one can solve for resistances.
Explanation:This question pertains to electricity and specifically the characteristics of resistors when they are connected in series or parallel. Using Ohm's Law, we know that the voltage (V) is the product of the current (I) and the resistance (R). Therefore, when the resistors are connected in series, the combined resistance (Rtotal) is the sum of the individual resistances, while the current remains the same. This gives us Rtotal = V/I = 12.0V / 1.12A.
When in parallel, however, the total resistance can be found differently. In a parallel circuit, the total resistance is given by 1/Rtotal = 1/R+ 1/R. As per the problem, we know that the total current of the circuit connected in parallel is 9.39 A, so we can use the equation Itotal = V/ Rtotal to find the total resistance in the parallel circuit.
Combining the information from both the circuits would allow us to solve two simultaneous equations to get the values of R and R.

The two resistances connected in series have a total resistance of 10.71 Ω, and connected in parallel have a total resistance of 1.28 Ω. Solving the equations, we find the resistances to be 1.43 Ω and 9.28 Ω.
Let's solve this step-by-step:
Step 1: Series Connection
When two resistors are connected in series, the total resistance, [tex]R_{total[/tex], is the sum of the resistances:
[tex]R_{total[/tex] = R₁ + R₂
Using Ohm's Law (V = IR), we can find the total resistance in series:
V = 12.0 V;
I = 1.12 A;
[tex]R_{total[/tex] = V/I
[tex]R_{total[/tex] = 12.0 V / 1.12 A = 10.71 Ω
Step 2: Parallel Connection
When the same resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance, [tex]R_{parallel[/tex], can be found using the formula:
1/[tex]R_{parallel[/tex] = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂
Again, using Ohm's Law, we first find [tex]R_{parallel[/tex]:
V = 12.0 V; [tex]I_{total[/tex] = 9.39 A;
[tex]R_{parallel[/tex] = V/[tex]I_{total[/tex] = 12.0 V / 9.39 A = 1.28 Ω
Step 3: Solving the Equations
We now have two equations:
R₁ + R₂ = 10.71 Ω
(R₁ * R₂) / (R₁ + R₂) = 1.28 Ω (since 1/[tex]R_{parallel[/tex] = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ )
Let's solve these equations:
Substitute R₂ = 10.71 - R₁ into the parallel equation:
(R₁ * (10.71 - R₁)) / 10.71 = 1.28
R₁ * (10.71 - R₁) = 1.28 * 10.71
10.71R₁ - R₁² = 13.69
R₁² - 10.71R₁ + 13.69 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:
R₁ = [10.71 ± √((10.71)² - 4*1*13.69)] / 2
Solving this, we get R₁ ≈ 1.43 Ω or R₁ ≈ 9.28 Ω
Then, R₂ = 10.71 - 1.43 = 9.28 Ω ,
R₂ = 10.71 - 9.28 = 1.43 Ω
The Atwood machine consists of two masses hanging from the ends of a rope that passes over a pulley. Assume that the rope and pulley are massless and that there is no friction in the pulley. If the masses have the values m1=21.1 kg and m2=12.9 kg, find the magnitude of their acceleration ???? and the tension T in the rope. Use ????=9.81 m/s2.
Answer:
[tex]a=2.36\ m/s^2[/tex]
T=157.06 N
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of first block = 21.1 kg
Mass of second block = 12.9 kg
First mass is heavier than first that is why mass second first will go downward and mass second will go upward.
Given that pulley and string is mass less that is why both mass will have same acceleration.So lets take their acceleration is 'a'.
So now from force equation
[tex]m_1g-m_2g=(m_1+m_2)a[/tex]
21.1 x 9.81 - 12.9 x 9.81 =(21.1+12.9) a
[tex]a=2.36\ m/s^2[/tex]
Lets tension in string is T
[tex]m_1g-T=m_1a[/tex]
[tex]T=m_1(g-a)[/tex]
T=21.1(9.81-2.36) N
T=157.06 N
The magnitude of their acceleration is 2.36m/s² while the tension in the rope is 157.06N.
From the information given, the following can be depicted:
Mass of first block = 21.1kgMas of second block = 12.9kgThe force equation can be used to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration which will go thus:
(21.1 × 9.81) - (12.9 × 9.81) = (21.1 + 12.9)a
(8.2 × 9.81) = 34a
a = (8.2 × 9.81) / 34
a = 2.36m/s².
Therefore, the tension will be:
T = m(g - a)
T = 21.1(9.81 - 2.36)N
T = 157.06N

A tennis ball is hit straight up at 20 m/s from the edge of a sheer cliff. Some time later, the ball passes the original height from which it was hit. (Ignore the effects of air resistance.) (a) How fast is the ball moving at that time? m/s (b) If the cliff is 50 m high, how long will it take the ball to reach the ground level? s (c) What total distance did the ball travel? m
The speed of the ball when passing its original height on its way down is 20 m/s. The time it takes to reach the ground level is 3.19 seconds. The ball travels a total distance of 70 meters.
Explanation:The motion of the tennis ball can be analyzed by using the principles of Physics, particularly the laws of motion and the concept of gravity.
(a) The ball will have the same speed when it passes its original height on its way down, which is 20 m/s. This is based on the principle of conservation of energy. Since air resistance is ignored, the speed when it passes the original height on its way down should be the same as its initial speed.
(b) Calculating the total time it takes the ball to reach the ground involves the formula for time in free fall, which is t = sqrt(2h/g), wherein h is the height and g is the gravity. Thus plug in the values: t = sqrt((2*50)/9.8) = 3.19 seconds.
(c) The total distance traveled by the ball includes it going up and falling back down. The ball rises to a height of 20 m/s before falling from that height plus an additional height corresponding to the height of the cliff, total distance is 70 meters.
