A cannon, elevated at 40∘ is fired at a wall 300 m away on level ground, as shown in the figure below. The initial speed of the

cannonball is 89 m/s. At what height h does the ball hit the wall?

First, we calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the firing velocity.
Vx = 89cos(40)
Vx = 68.2 m/s
Vy = 89sin(40)
Vy = 57.2 m/s
The time of flight for the cannon ball can be obtained by dividing its horizontal distance covered by horizontal velocity.
t = 300/68.2
t = 4.40 s
Using 
s = ut + 0.5at²
for the vertical direction
s = 57.2 × 4.40 + (-9.81)(4.40)²
s = 61.8 m is the height at which the cannon ball hits the wall

Vo = 89 m/s
angle: 40°

=> Vox = Vo * cos 40° = 89 * cos 40°

=> Voy = Vo. sin 40° = 89 * sin 40°

x-movement: uniform => x =Vox * t = 89*cos(40)*t

x = 300 m => t = 300m / [89m/s*cos(40) = 4.4 s

y-movement: uniformly accelerated => y = Voy * t - g*t^2 /2

y = 89m/s * sin(40) * (4.4s) - 9.m/s^2 * (4.4)^2 / 2 = 156.9 m = height the ball hits the wall.

Sketch a position-time graph for a bear starting
Dmitrij [34]

Explanation:

hopefully that makes sense. the position doesn't change over the 5 seconds, meaning it's stopped but time still continues. then when the slope is negative this shows the bear's position becoming negative (backing up, changing direction).

(b) Figure 4 shows a car travelling on a motorway.
Alik [6]

Answer:

To calculate anything - speed, acceleration, all that - we need <em>data</em>. The more data we have, and the more accurate that data is, the more accurate our calculations will be. To collect that data, we need to <em>measure </em>it somehow. To measure anything, we need tools and a method. Speed is a measure of distance over time, so we'll need tools for measuring <em>time </em>and <em>distance</em>, and a method for measuring each.

Conveniently, the lamp posts in this problem are equally spaced, and we can treat that spacing as our measuring stick. To measure speed, we'll need to bring time in somehow too, and that's where the stopwatch comes in. A good method might go like this:

  1. Press start on the stopwatch right as you pass a lamp post
  2. Each time you pass another lamp post, press the lap button on the stopwatch
  3. Press stop after however many lamp posts you'd like, making sure to hit stop right as you pass the last lamp post
  4. Record your data
  5. Calculate the time intervals for passing each lamp post using the lap data
  6. Calculate the average of all those invervals and divide by 40 m - this will give you an approximate average speed

Of course, you'll never find an *exact* amount, but the more data points you have, the better your approximation will become.

A singly-charged ion enters a velocity selector that has a 0.18-T magnetic field perpendicular to an electric field of 1.6 kV/m,
lesya692 [45]

Answer: a) 8.9km/s b) 4.05 x 10^-25 kg

Explanation:

a)

To find the velocity, 

V = E/B plug in the numbers we get

V = 1.6kV/m / 0.18 T = 8.9 km/s 



b)

To find the ion mass, 

m = erB^2/E = 0.125 m x 1.6x10^-19 x (0.18)^2 / ( 1.6 x 10 ^ 3 V/m ) = 4.05 x 10 ^ -25 kg

A solid uniform sphere of mass 1.85 kg and diameter 45.0 cm spins about an axle through its center. Starting with an angular vel
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The net torque is 0.0372 N m.

Explanation:

A rotational body with constant angular acceleration satisfies the kinematic equation:

\omega^{2}=\omega_{0}^{2}+2\alpha\Delta\theta (1)

with ω the final angular velocity, ωo the initial angular velocity, α the constant angular acceleration and Δθ the angular displacement (the revolutions the sphere does). To find the angular acceleration we solve (1) for α:

\frac{\omega^{2}-\omega_{0}^{2}}{2\Delta\theta}=\alpha

Because the sphere stops the final angular velocity is zero, it's important all quantities in the SI so 2.40 rev/s = 15.1 rad/s and 18.2 rev = 114.3 rad, then:

\alpha=-\frac{-(15.1)^{2}}{2(114.3)}=1.00\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

The negative sign indicates the sphere is slowing down as we expected.

Now with the angular acceleration we can use Newton's second law:

\sum\overrightarrow{\tau}=I\overrightarrow{\alpha} (2)

with ∑τ the net torque and I the moment of inertia of the sphere, for a sphere that rotates about an axle through its center its moment of inertia is:

I = \frac{2MR^{2}}{5}

With M the mass of the sphere an R its radius, then:

I = \frac{2(1.85)(\frac{0.45}{2})^{2}}{5}=0.037 kg*m^2

Then (2) is:

\sum\overrightarrow{\tau}=0.037(-1.00)=0.037 Nm
