(a) The y-component or vertical velocity is calculated using:
Vy = Vsin(∅)
(b) The x-component or horizontal velocity is calculated using:
Vx = Vcos(∅)
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%.
Answer:
y = 54.9 m
Explanation:
For this exercise we can use the relationship between the work of the friction force and mechanical energy.
Let's look for work
W = -fr d
The negative sign is because Lafourcade rubs always opposes the movement
On the inclined part, of Newton's second law
Y Axis
N - W cos θ = 0
The equation for the force of friction is
fr = μ N
fr = μ mg cos θ
We replace at work
W = - μ m g cos θ d
Mechanical energy in the lower part of the embankment
Em₀ = K = ½ m v²
The mechanical energy in the highest part, where it stopped
= U = m g y
W = ΔEm =
- Em₀
- μ m g d cos θ = m g y - ½ m v²
Distance d and height (y) are related by trigonometry
sin θ = y / d
y = d sin θ
- μ m g d cos θ = m g d sin θ - ½ m v²
We calculate the distance traveled
d (g syn θ + μ g cos θ) = ½ v²
d = v²/2 g (sintea + myy cos tee)
d = 9.8 12.6 2/2 9.8 (sin16 + 0.128 cos 16)
d = 1555.85 /7.8145
d = 199.1 m
Let's use trigonometry to find the height
sin 16 = y / d
y = d sin 16
y = 199.1 sin 16
y = 54.9 m
