Some plants disperse their seeds when the fruit splits and contracts, propelling the seeds through the air. The trajectory of th

ese seeds can be determined with a high-speed camera. In an experiment on one type of plant, seeds are projected at 20 cm above ground level with initial speeds between 2.3 m/s and 4.6 m/s. The launch angle is measured from the horizontal, with + 90° corresponding to an initial velocity straight up and – 90° straight down.
If a seed is launched at an angle of 0° with the maximum initial speed, how far from the plant will it land? Ignore air resistance, and assume that the ground is flat. (a) 20 cm; (b) 93 cm; (c) 2.2 m; (d) 4.6 m.

Answer:

The Correct answer is C

2.2m

Explanation:

The seeds launched obey a projectile motion.

Since it was launched from an height,

Rmax = (u/g)sqrt(u^2 + 2gH)

For seed1, u = 2.3m/s H = 20cm = 0.2m, g = 9.8m/s.

Rmax = (2.3/9.8)*sqrt(2.3^2 + 2*9.8*0.2)

Rmax = 0.701m

For seed2, u = 4.6m/s H = 20cm = 0.2m, g = 9.8m/s.

Rmax = (4.6/9.8)*sqrt(4.6^2 + 2*9.8*0.2)

Rmax = 2.205m

Therefore, the seed launched with maximum initial speed of 4.6m/s, will land at 2.2m from the plant.

Answer:

Option B, 93 cm

Explanation:

An diagram of the seed's motion is attached to this solution.

This is very close to a projectile motion question. And the quantity to be calculated, how far along the grant a seed released would travel is called the Range.

And this would be obtained from the equations of motion,

First of, the height of the plant is related to some quantities of the motion with this relation.

H = u(y) t + 0.5g(t^2)

U(y) = initial vertical component of velocity = 0 m/s, H = height at which motion began, = 20cm = 0.2 m

That means t = √(2H/g)

The horizontal distance covered, R,

R = u(x) t + 0.5g(t^2) = u(x) t (the second part of the equation goes to zero as the vertical component of the acceleration of this motion is 0)

(substituting the t = √(2H/g) derived from above

R = u(x) √(2H/g)

Where u(x) = the initial horizontal component of the bomb's velocity = maximum initial speed, that is, 4.6 m/s, H = vertical height at which the seed was released = 20 cm = 0.2 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2

R = 4.6 √(2×0.2/9.8) = 0.929 m = 0.93 m = 93 cm. Option B.

Answer:

0.495 ms^{-2}

Explanation:

According to the newton's second law of motion we can apply F=ma hear

Force = mass * acceleration

(assume the piano is moving left side )

←F = ma

F_(pull)+ F_(push)= M*a\\77.5 + 48.7 = 255 *a\\a = 0.495 ms^{-2}

In a house the temperature at the surface of a window is 28.9 °C. The temperature outside at the window surface is 7.89 °C. Heat
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

-13.18°C

Explanation:

To develop the problem it is necessary to consider the concepts related to the thermal conduction rate.

Its definition is given by the function

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}

Where,

Q = The amount of heat transferred

t = time

k = Thermal conductivity constant

A = Cross-sectional area

\Delta T = The difference in temperature between one side of the material and the other

d= thickness of the material

The problem says that there is a loss of heat twice that of the initial state, that is

Q_2 = 2*Q_1

Replacing,

kA\frac{\Delta T_m}{x} = 2*kA\frac{\Delta T}{x}

\frac{\Delta T}{x}=2*\frac{\Delta T}{x}

\frac{T_i-T_o}{x} = 2\frac{T_1-T_2}{x}

\frac{28.9-T_o}{x} = 2\frac{28.9-7.86}{x}

Solvinf for T_o,

T_o = -13.18

Therefore the temprature at the outside windows furface when the heat lost per second doubles is  -13.18°C

An ice hockey puck is tied by a string to a stake in the ice. the puck is then swung in a circle. what force is producing the ce
Taya2010 [7]
In a circular motion scenario, the force that pulls the revolving object towards the centre is the force that produces the centripetal acceleration. So, in this case, the tension on the string is the force that pulls the puck towards the centre.

Therefore, it is the tension in the string that causes the centripetal acceleration of the puck

You, Archimedes, suspect that the king’s crown is not solid gold but is instead gold-plated lead. To test your theory, you weigh
hjlf

Answer:

a) 16675.75 Kg/m³ b) 77.6%

Explanation:

the weight of the crown = 60 N, density of gold = 19300 Kg/m^3, density of lead = 11340 kg/m^3, density of water = 1000kg/m^3 and acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

upthrust on the crown = weight in air - weight when fully submerged in water = 60 - 56.4 = 3.6 N

mass of water displaced = 3.6 / 9.8  since weight = mass × g

mass of water displaced = 0.367 Kg

density of water = mass / volume

1000 = 0.367 / volume

cross multiply and find volume

volume of the crown = 0.367 / 1000 = 0.000367 m³ since the crown will displace water of equal volume according to Archimedes principle

Let V1 represent the volume of Gold and let V2 represent the volume of lead

Total volume of the crown = V1 + V2

also

density of gold = mass of gold / V1 and density of lead = mass of lead / V2

19300 = mass of gold in the crown / V1 and 11340 = mass of lead in the crown / V2

19300 V1 = mass of gold and 11340 V2 = mass of lead

add the two together

19300 V1 + 11340 V2 = weigth of the crown / 9.8

19300 V1 + 11340 V2 = 6.12 also

V1 + V2 = 0.000367

make V1 subject of the formula in equation 2

V1 = 0.000367 - V2

substitute for V1 in equation 1

19300 (0.000367 - V2) + 11340 V2 = 6.12

open the bracket

7.083 - 19300 V2 + 11340 V2 = 6.12

rearrange the equation

-7960 V2 = 6.12 - 7.083  

-7960 V2 = -0.963

V2 = -0.963 / -7960 = 0.000121 (volume of lead in the crown)

substitute V2 into equation 2

V1 + 0.000121  = 0.000367m³

V1 = 0.000367 - 0.000121 = 0.000246m³ (volume of gold in the crown)

so mass of gold in the crown = 19300 × 0.000246 = 4.748 kg

and mass of lead = 11340 × 0.000121 = 1.372 kg

average density of the crown = (mass of gold + mass of lead) / total volume = 6.12 / 0.000367 = 16675.75 kg/ m³

b) percentage make of gold = mass of gold / total mass × 100 = 77.6 % approx

In a rocket-propulsion problem the mass is variable. Another such problem is a raindrop falling through a cloud of small water d
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a) a = g / 3

b) x (3.0) = 14.7 m

c) m (3.0) = 29.4 g

Explanation:

Given:-

- The following differential equation for (x) the distance a rain drop has fallen has the form:

                             x*g = x * \frac{dv}{dt} + v^2

- Where,                v = Speed of the raindrop

- Proposed solution to given ODE:

                             v = a*t

Where,                  a = acceleration of raindrop

Find:-

(a) Using the proposed solution for v find the acceleration a.

(b) Find the distance the raindrop has fallen in t = 3.00 s.

(c) Given that k = 2.00 g/m, find the mass of the raindrop at t = 3.00 s.

Solution:-

- We know that acceleration (a) is the first derivative of velocity (v):

                             a = dv / dt   ... Eq 1

- Similarly, we know that velocity (v) is the first derivative of displacement (x):

                            v = dx / dt  , v = a*t ... proposed solution (Eq 2)

                             v .dt = dx = a*t . dt

- integrate both sides:

                             ∫a*t . dt = ∫dt

                             x = 0.5*a*t^2  ... Eq 3

- Substitute Eq1 , 2 , 3 into the given ODE:

                            0.5*a*t^2*g = 0.5*a^2 t^2 + a^2 t^2

                                                = 1.5 a^2 t^2

                            a = g / 3

- Using the acceleration of raindrop (a) and t = 3.00 second and plug into Eq 3:

                           x (t) = 0.5*a*t^2

                           x (t = 3.0) = 0.5*9.81*3^2 / 3

                           x (3.0) = 14.7 m  

- Using the relation of mass given, and k = 2.00 g/m, determine the mass of raindrop at time t = 3.0 s:

                           m (t) = k*x (t)

                           m (3.0) = 2.00*x(3.0)

                           m (3.0) = 2.00*14.7

                           m (3.0) = 29.4 g
