A physics cart has a projectile launcher mounted on top. While traveling on a straight track at 0.500 m/s, a projectile is fired. It lands back in the same place on top of the launcher after the cart has moved a distance of 2.30 m. In the frame of reference of the cart, (a) at what angle was the projectile fired and (b) what was the initial velocity of the projectile? (c) What is the shape of the projectile as seen by an observer on the cart? A physics student is watching the demonstration from a classroom seat. According to the student, (d) what is the shape of the projectile’s path, and (e) what is its initial velocity?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

(a) $90^(\circ)$

(b) Initial velocity of the projectile is 22.54 m/s

(d) Parabolic

(e) The initial velocity is 23.04 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Velocity of the cart, v = 0.500 m/s

Distance moved by the cart, d = 2.30 m

Now,

(a) The projectile must be fired at an angle of $90^(\circ)$ so that it mounts on the top of the cart moving with constant velocity.

(b) Now, for initial velocity, u':

Time of flight is given by;

$T = (D)/(v)$ (1)

where

T = Flight time

D = Distance covered

(b) The component of velocity w.r.t an observer:

Horizontal component, $v_(x) = u'cos\theta$

Vertical component, $v_(y) = u'sin\theta - gT$

Also, the vertical component of velocity at maximum height is zero, $v_(y) = 0$

Therefore, $T = (u')/(g)$

Total flight time, $(2u')/(g)$ (2)

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

$u' = (gD)/(2v)$

$u' = (9.8* 2.30)/(2* 0.500) = 22.54 m/s$

(d) The shape of the path of the projectile seen by the physics student outside the reference frame of the cart is parabolic

(e) The initial velocity is given by:

u = u' + v = 22.54 + 0.5 = 23.04 m/s

Which statement describes how a machine can help make work easier? It can put out more force than the input force by decreasing the distance over which force is applied. It can increase the amount of work performed if the output force is in the same direction as the input force. It can apply a greater output force over a greater distance compared to the input force and distance. It can increase the distance over which output force acts by applying less output force than input force.

Two particles are traveling through space. At time t the first particle is at the point (−1 + t, 4 − t, −1 + 2t) and the second particle is at (−7 + 2t, −6 + 2t, −1 + t). (a) (5 Points) Do the paths of the two particles cross? If so, where?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, the paths of the two particles cross.

Location of path intersection = ( 1 , 2 , 3)

Explanation:

In order to find the point of intersection, we need to set both locations equal to one another. It should be noted however, that the time for each particle can vary as we are finding the point where the paths meet, not the point where the particles meet themselves.

So, we can name the time of the first particle $T_F$ , and the time of the second particle $T_S$ .

Setting the locations equal, we get the following equations to solve for $T_F$ and $T_S$ :

$(-1 + T_F) = (-7 + 2T_S)$ Equation 1

$(4 - T_F) = (-6 + 2T_S)$ Equation 2

$(-1 + 2T_F) = (-1 + T_S)$ Equation 3

Solving these three equations simultaneously we get:

$T_F =$ 2 seconds

$T_S =$ 4 seconds

Since, we have an answer for when the trajectories cross, we know for a fact that they indeed do cross.

The point of crossing can be found by using the value of $T_F$ or $T_S$ in the location matrices. Doing this for the first particle we get:

Location of path intersection = ( -1 + 2 , 4 - 2 , -1 + 2(2) )

Location of path intersection = ( 1 , 2 , 3)

a person sitting in a parked car hears an approaching ambulance siren at a frequency f1. as it passes him and moves away, he hears a frequency f2. the actual frequency f of the source is (which one of the following)a. f > f1b. f < f2c.f= f2 - f1d. f = f2 + f1e. f2 < f < f1

Answers

Answer:

e. f2 < f < f1

Explanation:

According to Doppler's Effect:

$(f_o)/(f_s) =(S+v_o)/(S-v_s)$ ......................................(1)

where:

$f_o\ \&\ f_s$ are observed frequency and source frequency respectively.

S = velocity of sound in the air from a stationary source

$v_o\ \&\ v_s$ are the velocity of the observer and the velocity of sound source with respect to a stationary frame of reference.

When the ambulance approaches a stationary observer

Here $v_o=0\$

Then eq. (1) becomes:

$(f)/(f1) =(S)/(S-v_s)$

Now, the value:

$(f1)/(f) =(S)/(S-v_s)>1$

$\therefore f<f1$

Now according to the given condition the source is moving away from the observer i.e. the velocity of the source is opposite to the velocity of sound with respect to the stationary observer.

Now the eq. (1) becomes

$(f2)/(f) =(S)/(S-(-v_s))$

∵the direction of motion of the source is away from the observer so a negative sign has been introduced.

Now, the value:

$(f2)/(f) =(S)/(S+v_s)<1$

$\therefore f>f2$

While leaning out a window that is 6.0 m above the ground, you drop a 0.60-kg basketball to a friend at ground level. Your friend catches the ball at a height of 1.6 m above the ground. Determine the following.(a) the amount of work done by the force of gravity on the ball.(b) the gravitational potential energy of the ball-earth system, relative to the ground when it is released.(c) the gravitational potential energy of the ball-earth system, relative to the ground when it is caught.

Answers

Answer:

a) W = 25.872 J

b) - 35.28 J

c) - 9.408

Explanation:

a) The amount of work done by the force of gravity on the ball = Change in potential energy between the two vertical points = - mg (H₂ - H₁)

F = - mg (gravity is acting downwards)

F = - 0.6 × 9.8 = - 5.88 N

(H₂ - H₁) = (1.6 - 6) = - 4.4 m

W = (-5.88)(-4.4) = 25.872 J

b) Gravitational-potential energy of the ball when it was released relative to the ground = (- mg) H₁ = (- 0.6 × 9.8) × 6 = - 35.28 J

c) Gravitational-potential energy of the ball when it is caught relative to the ground = (-mg)(H₂) = -0.6 × 9.8 × 1.6 = - 9.408 J
