Apollo 14 astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. used an improvised six-iron to strike two golf balls while on the Fra Mauro region of th

e moon’s surface, making what some consider the longest golf drive in history. Assume one of the golf balls was struck with initial velocity v0 = 28 m/s at an angle θ = 17° above the horizontal. The gravitational acceleration on the moon’s surface is approximately 1/6 that on the earth’s surface. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the ball's initial position.
(a) What horizontal distance, R in meters, did this golf ball travel before returning to the lunar surface?
(b) What is the numeric value of the ratio, f, of the horizontal distance traveled on the moon to the horizontal distance the ball would travel on Earth’s surface under the same conditions?

Answer:

(a) Rm = 268.4 m

(b) f = 6

Explanation:

The horizontal range of a projectile is given by the following formula:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g

(a)

For moon:

R = Range on moon = Rm

V₀ = Launch Speed = 28 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 17°

g = acceleration due to gravity on moon = (9.8 m/s²)/6 = 1.63 m/s²

Therefore,

Rm = (28 m/s)²Sin (2*17°)/(1.63 m/s²)

<u>Rm = 268.4 m</u>

(b)

For Earth:

R = Range on Earth = Re

V₀ = Launch Speed = 28 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 17°

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

Re = (28 m/s)²Sin (2*17°)/(9.8 m/s²)

Re = 44.7 m

Therefore.

f = Rm/Re = 268.4 m/44.7 m

<u>f = 6</u>

A 3.00-kg model airplane has velocity components of 5.00 m/s due east and 8.00 m/s due north. What is the plane’s kinetic energy
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Kinetic energy, E = 133.38 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the model airplane, m = 3 kg

Velocity component, v₁ = 5 m/s (due east)

Velocity component, v₂ = 8 m/s (due north)

Let v is the resultant of velocity. It is given by :

v=\sqrt{v_1^2+v_2^2}

v=\sqrt{5^2+8^2}=9.43\ m/s

Let E is the kinetic energy of the plane. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (9.43\ m/s)^2

E = 133.38 Joules

So, the kinetic energy of the plane is 133.38 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

What principles of science (like facts, laws, and theories) might help explain why similar investigations conducted in many part
natulia [17]

Answer:

Reproducibility of research

Explanation:

The principle of science that explains why similar experimental investigations conducted in different parts of the world could result in the same outcome is referred to as reproducibility.

<em>A good research or experiment in science must be reproducible, otherwise, the outcome of such an experiment might become inadmissible within the scientific community. It is a core principle of the scientific method that similar results should be obtained when an experiment or observational study conducted in one place is repeated in another place with the same procedure. Hence, an experiment must be reproducible in science in order for the outcome of such an experiment to be part of the general scientific knowledge. </em>

A rock is rolling down a hill. At position 1, it’s velocity is 2.0 m/s. Twelve seconds later, as it passes position 2, it’s velo
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer

Hi,

correct answer is {D} 3.5 m/s²

Explanation

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Acceleration can occur when a moving body is speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.

Acceleration is calculated by the equation =change in velocity/change in time

a= {velocity final-velocity initial}/(change in time)

a=v-u/Δt

The units for acceleration is meters per second square m/s²

In this example, initial velocity =2.0m/s⇒u

Final velocity=44.0m/s⇒v

Time taken for change in velocity=12 s⇒Δt

a= (44-2)/12  = 42/12

3.5 m/s²

Best Wishes!

The length of a wire 2.00 m is measured as 2.02m. What is the percentage error in the measurement?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

1%

Explanation:

Percent error can be found by dividing the absolute error (difference between measure and actual value) by the actual value, then multiplying by 100.

Percent Error=\frac{V_{measured}- V_{true} } {V_{true}} *100

The measured value is 2.02 meters and the actual value is 2.00 meters.

V_{measured}=2.02\\\\V_{true}=2.00

Percent Error=\frac{2.02-2.00}{2.00} *100

First, evaluate the fraction. Subtract 2.00 from 2.02

Percent Error=\frac{0.02}{2.00}*100

Next, divide 0.02 by 2.00

PercentError=0.01 *100

Finally, multiply 0.01 and 100.

Percent  Error=1\\Percent  Error= 1 \%

The percent error is 1%.
