You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is in a circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet's surfac

e, the ship's orbital speed is 4900 m/s. By observing the planet, you determine its radius to be 4.48×106m. You then land on the surface and, at a place where the ground is level, launch a small projectile with initial speed 13.6 m/s at an angle of 30.8∘ above the horizontal. If the resistant due to plantes atmosphere is neglagible what is the horizantal range of the projectile?

Answer:

The horizontal range of the projectile = 26.63 meters

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Distance above the planet's surface = 630 km = 630000

The ship's orbal speed = 4900 m/s

Radius of the planet = 4.48 *10^6 m

Initial speed of the projectile = 13.6 m/s

Angle = 30.8 °

Step 2: Calculate g

g= GM /R² = (v²*(R+h)) /(R²)

⇒ with v= the ship's orbal speed = 4900 m/S

⇒ with R = the radius of the planet = 4.48 *10^6 m

⇒ with h = the distance above the planet's surface = 630000 meter

g = (4900² * ( 4.48*10^6+ 630000)) / ((4.48*10^6)²)

g = 6.11 m/s²

<u>Step 3:</u> Describe the position of the projectile

Horizontal component: x(t) = v0*t *cos∅

Vertical component: y(t) = v0*t *sin∅ -1/2 gt² ( will be reduced to 0 in time )

⇒ with ∅ = 30.8 °

⇒ with v0 = 13.6 m/s

⇒ with t= v(sin∅)/g = 1.14 s

Horizontal range d = v0²/g *2sin∅cos∅ = v0²/g * sin2∅

Horizontal range d =(13.6²)/6.11 * sin(2*30.8)

Horizontal range d =26.63 m

The horizontal range of the projectile = 26.63 meters

An unspecified force causes a 0.20-kg object to accelerate at 0.40 m/s2. If 0.30 kg is added to the 0.20-kg object and the force

Naddik [55]

Answer:

a = 0.16

Explanation:

given,

mass of the object 1 = 0.2 kg

mass of the object 2 = 0.3 kg

acceleration when force is on 0.2 kg = 0.4 m/s²

acceleration when both mass are combine = ?

F = m a

F = 0.2 × 0.4

F = 0.08 N

force acting is same and total mass = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5 Kg

F = m a

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a = \dfrac{0.08}{0.5}$

a = 0.16 m/s²

the acceleration acting when both the body is attached is a = 0.16

A thin, horizontal, 18-cm-diameter copper plate is charged to -3.8 nC. Assume that the electrons are uniformly distributed on th

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Part a)

$E = 8436.7 N/C$

Part b)

$E = 8436.7 N/C$

Explanation:

Part a)

Electric field due to large sheet is given as

$E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

$\sigma = \frac{Q}{A}$

$Q = -3.8 nC$

$A = \pi(0.09)^2$

$A = 0.025 m^2$

$\sigma = \frac{-3.8\times 10^{-9}}{0.025}$

$\sigma = -1.5 \times 10^{-7} C/m^2$

now the electric field is given as

$E = \frac{-1.5 \times 10^{-7}}{2(8.85 \times 10^{-12})}$

$E = 8436.7 N/C$

Part b)

Now since the electric field is required at same distance on other side

so the field will remain same on other side of the plate

$E = 8436.7 N/C$

You are piloting a small airplane in which you want to reach a destination that is 750 km due north of your starting location. O

alexira [117]

Answer:

v_wind = 101.46 km / h , θ = 61.8

Explanation:

This is a velocity composition exercise.

Let's do the problem in parts. Let's start by knowing the speed of the plane without air.

v = d / t

v = 750 / 3.14

v = 238.85 km / h

This is the speed of the plane relative to the Earth and it does not change.

In the second part, when there is wind, the travel time is greater than when there is no wind, therefore the wind delays the plane. To be more general, suppose that the wind has two components vₓ and $v_{y}$

Let's use trigonometry to find the components of the plane's speed

cos θ = v_N / v

sin θ = v_W / v

v_N = v cos θ

v_W = v sin θ

let's calculate

V _N = 238.85 cos 22 = 221.46 km / h

v_W = -238.85 sin 22 = -89.47

the negative sign is because the plane is going west and the positive sign is the east direction.

As it indicates that the destination of the avine is towards the north, the x component of the wind must be

vₓ - v_W = 0

vₓ = v-w

vₓ = 89.47 km / h

in the direction to the East.

Now let's analyze the component of the wind in the Nort-South direction,

Indicate the travel time, let's calculate the speed that the component must have the speed of the plane

v_total = d / t

v_total = 750 / 4.32

v_total = 173.61 km / h

This is the final speed of the plane, which can be written

v_total = v_n - vy

vy = v_n - v_total

vy = 221.46 - 173.61

vy = 47.85 km

this component is directed towards the south

Let's use the Pythagorean Theorem, to find the magnitude

v_wind² = vₓ² + vy²

v_wind = √ (89.47² + 47.85²)

v_wind = 101.46 km / h

the address will then be found using trigonometry

θ = Vy / vx

θ = tan⁻¹ (vy / vx)

θ = tan⁻¹1 (47.85 / 89.47)

θ = 28.14

Therefore, the magnitude of the wind speed is 101.5 km / h and its direction is 28º south of the East, to give this value

90- θtea = 90- 28.2

θ = 61.8

East of South

A turntable rotates counterclockwise at 76 rpm . A speck of dust on the turntable is at 0.47 rad at t=0. What is the angle of th

icang [17]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

By definition we know that the displacement when there is constant angular velocity is

$\theta= \theta_0 +\omega t$

From our given data we know that,

$\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}$

$\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})(\frac{1 min}{60s})$

$\omega = 7.958rad/s$

Moreover we know that

$\theta_0 = 0.47 rad$

Therefore for time t=8.1s we have,

$\theta= \theta_0+ \omega t$

$\theta= 0.47+(7.958)(8.1)$

$\theta = 64.9298rad$

That number in revolution is:

$\theta = 64.9298rad(\frac{1rev}{2\pi})$

$\theta = 15.108 Revolutions$

Here, we see that there are 15 complete revolutions

And 0.108 revolutions i not complete, so the tunable rotation is

$\theta_{net} = 0.108*2\pi=0.216\pi$

Therefore the angle of the speck at a time 8.1s is $0.216\pi$
