Answer:

t = 0.11 second

The time taken to reach the maximum height of the trajectory is 0.11 second

Explanation:

Taking the vertical component of the initial velocity;

Vy = Vsin∅

Initial velocity V = 2.15 m/s

Angle ∅ = 30°

Vy = 2.15sin30 = 2.15 × 0.5

Vy = 1.075 m/s

The height of the rock at time t during the flight is;

From the equation of motion;

h(t) = Vy×t - 0.5gt^2

g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Substituting the given values;

h(t) = 1.075t - 0.5(9.8)t^2

h(t) = 1.075t - 4.9t^2

The rock is at maximum height when dh/dt = 0;

dh(t)/dt = 1.075 - 9.8t = 0

1.075 - 9.8t = 0

9.8t = 1.075

t = 1.075/9.8

t = 0.109693877551 s

t = 0.11 second

The time taken to reach the maximum height of the trajectory is 0.11 second

Dane is holding an 8 kilogram box 2 metres above the ground. How much energy is in the box's gravitational potential energy stor
9966 [12]

156.8 Joules of energy is in the box's gravitational potential energy store

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>Given:</em>

Mass of the box Dane is holding = 8 Kilograms

Height at which Dane is holding the box above the ground= 2 metres

<em>To Find:</em>

Gravitational potential energy in the box=?

<em>Solution:</em>

gravitational potential energy is the work done per mass on a object to move that object from one fixed location to to another location against gravity.Its unit is joules or J

Thus  Gravitational potential energy is  represented as,

PE_g=mgh

where

PE_g is the gravitational potential energy

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the gravitational force( 9.8 m/s^2)

Now substituting the given values,

PE_g=8\times 9.8\times 2

PE_g=156.8 Joules

A block of mass 2.00 kg is initially at rest at x=0 on a slippery horizontal surface for which there is no friction. Starting at
Allisa [31]

Answer:

   x = 1,185 m ,     t = 4/3 s ,  F = - 4 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's second law

         F = m a = m dv /dt

        β - α t = m dv / dt

        dv = (β – α t) dt

     

We integrate

        v = β t - ½ α t²

We evaluate between the lower limits v = v₀ for t = 0 and the upper limit v = v for t = t

       v-v₀ = β t - ½ α t²

the farthest point of the body is when v = v₀ = 0

  0 = β t - ½ α t²

  t = 2 β / α

  t = 2 4/6

  t = 4/3 s

Let's find the distance at this time

   v = dx / dt

   dx / dt = v₀ + β t - ½ α t2

   dx = (v₀ + β t - ½ α t2) dt

We integrate

   x = v₀ t + ½ β t - ½ 1/3 α t³

   x = v₀ 4/3 + ½ 4 (4/3)² - 1/6 6 (4/3)³

The body comes out of rest

    x = 3.5556 - 2.37

    x = 1,185 m

The value of force is

    F = β - α t

    F = 4 - 6 4/3

   F = - 4 N

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity I decreases is proportional t
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.02%

Explanation:

Using Lambert's law

Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality constant, I is intensity of incident light and t is thickness of the medium

then dI / I = kdt

taking log,

ln(I) = kt + ln C

I = Ce^kt

t=0=>I=I(0)=>C=I(0)

I = I(0)e^kt

t=3 & I=0.25I(0)=>0.25=e^3k

k = ln(0.25)/3

k = -1.386/3

k = -0.4621

I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)

I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)

I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.2%

In order to get a tree stump out of the ground, chains are connected to two trucks. One truck pulls with a force of 600 N to the
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The net force on the stump is 1000 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force 1 acting on the truck, F_1=600\ N (due north)

Force 2 acting on the truck, F_2=800\ N (due west)

We need to find the net force on the stump. We know that force is a vector quantity. The net force on the stump is given by the the resultant force. It is given by :

F=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}

F=\sqrt{600^2+800^2}

F = 1000 N

So, the net force on the stump is 1000 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
