A small sphere of mass m is launched horizontally over a body of water from a height h above the water and with a launch speed v

0. Determine expressions for the following in terms of m, v0, h, and g. Air resistance is negligibly small.
(a) W is the amount work done by the force of gravity on the projectile during its flight.

W =
−mgh


For a conservative force, how does the work done by the force compare to the change in potential energy associated with the force?

Answer:

a)   W = m g h , b)     W / U = 1

Explanation:

a) work is defined by

        W = F. dy

in this case the force of gravity goes down and the displacement of the particle is down, so the two are parallel and the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

        W = F y

strength is the weight of the body

         F = m g

        W = m g h

where h is the distance the body descends

b) the only force acting on the body is the weight of the work and we calculated them in part a, the potential energy is

     U = m g h

to compare the two magnitudes of let's find their relationship

    W / U = mgh / mgh

    W / U = 1

A 150 g particle at x = 0 is moving at 8.00 m/s in the +x-direction. As it moves, it experiences a force given by Fx=(0.850N)sin
krok68 [10]

Answer:

9.98 m/s

Explanation:

The force acting on the particle is defined by the equation:

F=(0.850) sin (\frac{x}{2.00}) [N]

where x is the position in metres.

The acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

m = 150 g = 0.150 kg is the mass of the particle. Substituting into the equation,

a=\frac{0.850}{0.150}sin (\frac{x}{2.00})=5.67 sin(\frac{x}{2.00}) [m/s^2]

When x = 3.14 m, the acceleration is:

a=5.67 sin(\frac{3.14}{2.00})=5.67 m/s^2

Now we can find the final speed of the particle by using the suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2ax

where

u = 8.00 m/s is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a=5.67 m/s^2

x = 3.14 m is the displacement

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2ax}=\sqrt{8.00^2+2(5.67)(3.14)}=9.98 m/s

And the speed is just the magnitude of the velocity, so 9.98 m/s.

If Emily throws the ball at an angle of 30∘ below the horizontal with a speed of 12m/s, how far from the base of the dorm should
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

3.6 m

Explanation:

let x = horizontal distance between emily and allison should be for allison to catch the ball

Find horizontal speed of the ball

vx = 12 sin 30 = 12 x 0.5 = 6 m/s

To find time taken, we will use vertical values of the ball motion

Initial velocity in vertical direction

u = 12 cos 30 = 10.392 m/s

let a = g = 9.8m/s2

Use equation of motion

s = ut +1/2at^2

s = vertical distance = 8

8 = (10.392)t + (1/2)(9.8)t^2

8 = (10.392)t + (4.9)t^2

4.9t^2 + 10.392t - 8 = 0

Using formula of quadratic or calculator, we'll find

t = 0.6 and t = -2.72

We pick t=0.6s since it's not logical time in negative

Assuming no air resistance or external forces, the ball will move 6m/s horizontally. Hence using the formula of speed

speed vx = distance x / time

x = (vx)(t)

  = 6 x 0.6

  = 3.6 m

"The predictions of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity were tested on a double pulsar system in January of 2004. His equati
Rasek [7]

Answer:

99.95%

Explanation:

A double pulsar system named PSR J0737-3039A/B  in Puppis constellation was discovered in the year 2003. Pulsars are second most densest object in the universe after black holes and they emit radio waves at regular intervals. This pair presented a great and natural setup to test the Theory of General Relativity presented by Einstein in 1915. In this theory Einstein had presented a set of equations on how the space-time fabric will be curved because of the very dense objects such as Neutron stars. It also predicted how the gravitational waves are created because of stars orbiting each other.

A team of astrophysicists led by Michael Kramer, conducted a study on how these gravitational waves will impact the time in which the radio waves emitted by pulsars will reach Earth. The result of the study proved the theory of General Relativity to be accurate up to 99.95%.

If it takes an airplane 15 minutes to go from 30 mph to 330 mph, what is its acceleration?
zzz [600]
Using the a=vf-vi divided by tf-ti:
A is acceleration
Vf is final velocity- 330
Vi is intial velocity-30
Tf is final time-15
Ti is initial time-0
A = 330-30 divided by 15-0
A = 300 divided by 15
A= 20 m/s^2 
Hope this helps
