Answer:

15 ft

Explanation:

We use tangent of angles. Let Ф = angle of depression of Emir's line of sight = angle of elevation of base of swingset from Emir = 33.69°. Let x = height of tree = 10 ft and y = distance of base of tree from swingset.

So tanФ = x/y and y = x/tanФ

y = x/tanФ

= 10 ft/tan33.69°

= 15 ft

If an electromagnetic wave has components Ey = E0 sin(kx - ωt) and Bz = B0 sin(kx - ωt), in what direction is it traveling?
fomenos

Answer:

Its traveling in the +x direction

Explanation:

The E-field is in the +y-direction, and the B-field is in the +z-direction, so it must be moving along the +x-direction, since the E-field, B-field and the direction of moving are all at right angles to each other.

A golfer hits a golf ball at an angle of 25.0° to the ground. if the golf ball covers a horizontal distance of 301.5 m, what is
kvasek [131]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Projectile motion has two types of motion Horizontal and Vertical motion.

Vertical motion:

         We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

         Considering upward vertical motion of projectile.

         In this case, Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = -g m/s^2 and final velocity = 0 m/s.

        0 = u sin θ - gt

         t = u sin θ/g

    Total time for vertical motion is two times time taken for upward vertical motion of projectile.

    So total travel time of projectile = 2u sin θ/g

Horizontal motion:

  We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

  In this case Initial velocity = horizontal component of velocity = u cos θ, acceleration = 0 m/s^2 and time taken = 2u sin θ /g

 So range of projectile,  R=ucos\theta*\frac{2u sin\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}

 Vertical motion (Maximum height reached, H) :

     We have equation of motion, v^2=u^2+2as, where u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, s is the displacement and a is the acceleration.

   Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = -g, final velocity = 0 m/s at maximum height H

   0^2=(usin\theta) ^2-2gH\\ \\ H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

In the give problem we have R = 301.5 m,  θ = 25° we need to find H.

So  \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}=301.5\\ \\ \frac{u^2sin(2*25)}{g}=301.5\\ \\ u^2=393.58g

Now we have H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{393.58*g*sin^2 25}{2g}=35.15m

 So maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

What is the tangential velocity at the edge of a disk of radius 10cm when it spins with a frequency of 10Hz? Give your answer wi
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

630cm/s

Explanation:

In simple harmonic motion, the tangential velocity is expressed mathematically as v = ὦr

ὦ is the angular velocity = 2πf

r is the radius of the disk

f is the frequency

Given the radius of disk = 10cm

frequency = 10Hz

v = 2πfr

v = 2π×10×10

v = 200π

v = 628.32 cm/s

The tangential velocity = 630cm/s ( to 2 significant figures)

A spaceship flies from Earth to a distant star at a constant speed. Upon arrival, a clock on board the spaceship shows a total e
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

35 288 mile/sec

Explanation:

This is a problem of special relativity. The clocks start when the spaceship passes Earth with a velocity v, relative to the earth. So, out and back from the earth it will take:

10 years = \frac{2d}{v}

If we use the Lorentz factor, then, as observed by the crew of the ship, the arrival time will be:

0.8 = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

Then the amount of time wil expressed as a reciprocal of the Lorentz factor. Thus:

0.8 = \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

0.64 = 1-\frac{v^{2} }{186282^{2} }

solving for v, gives = 35 288 miles/s

Rotational dynamics about a fixed axis: A person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

I = 2 kgm^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the moment of inertia of the door, about the hinges, you use the following formula:

\tau=I\alpha     (1)

I: moment of inertia of the door

α: angular acceleration of the door = 2.00 rad/s^2

τ: torque exerted on the door

You can calculate the torque by using the information about the Force exerted on the door, and the distance to the hinges. You use the following formula:

\tau=Fd        (2)

F: force = 5.00 N

d: distance to the hinges = 0.800 m

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for α:

Fd=I\alpha\\\\I=\frac{Fd}{\alpha}

Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous equation for I:

I=\frac{(5.00N)(0.800m)}{2.00rad/s^2}=2kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the door around the hinges is 2 kgm^2
