Answer 1

Hi there!

A.

Since the can was launched from ground level, we know that its trajectory forms a symmetrical, parabolic shape. In other words, the time taken for the can to reach the top is the same as the time it takes to fall down.

Thus, the time to its highest point:
[tex]T_h = \frac{T}{2}[/tex]

Now, we can determine the velocity at which the can was launched at using the following equation:
[tex]v_f = v_i + at[/tex]

In this instance, we are going to look at the VERTICAL component of the velocity, since at the top of the trajectory, the vertical velocity = 0 m/s.

Therefore:
[tex]0 = v_y + at\\\\0 = vsin\theta - g\frac{T}{2}[/tex]

***vsinθ is the vertical component of the velocity.

Solve for 'v':
[tex]vsin(\alpha_0) = g\frac{T}{2}\\\\v = \frac{gT}{2sin(\alpha_0)}[/tex]

Now, recall that:
[tex]W = \Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}m(\Delta v)^2[/tex]

Plug in the expression for velocity:
[tex]W = \frac{1}{2}M (\frac{gT}{2sin(\alpha_0)})^2\\\\\boxed{W = \frac{Mg^2T^2}{8sin^2(\alpha _0)}}[/tex]

B.

We can use the same process as above, where T' = 2T and Th = T.

[tex]v = \frac{gT}{sin(\alpha _0)} }\\\\W = \frac{1}{2}M(\frac{gT}{sin(\alpha _0)})^2\\\\\boxed{W = \frac{Mg^2T^2}{2sin^2(\alpha _0)}}[/tex]

C.

The work done in part B is 4 times greater than the work done in part A.

[tex]\boxed{\frac{W_B}{W_A} = \frac{4}{1} = 4.0}[/tex]

Answer 2

A. To find the work done on the can by the launching device, we need to calculate the change in kinetic energy of the can. When the can is launched, it has an initial kinetic energy of 0 (since it starts from rest).

1/2 * M * [(initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (g * T)^2]

WA = 1/2 * M * [(initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (g * T)^2]

B. If the can stays in the air twice as long, the time of flight becomes 2T. We can repeat the above steps with the new value of T to find the initial velocity: Initial vertical velocity = g * (2T)

WB [tex]= 1/2 * M * [(initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (2gT)^2][/tex]

C. To compare the results, we can calculate the ratio of WB to WA:

WB/WA [tex]= [1/2 * M * [(initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (2gT)^2]] / [1/2 * M * [(initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (g * T)^2]][/tex]

Notice that the mass M and the angle α0 cancel out:

WB/WA [tex]= [((initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (2gT)^2)] / [((initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (g * T)^2)][/tex]

A.  At the highest point of its trajectory, the kinetic energy is again 0 (the vertical velocity component is 0). So the work done by the launching device equals the initial kinetic energy. The initial kinetic energy can be expressed as: Initial kinetic energy = [tex]1/2 * M * (initial velocity)^2[/tex]

The initial velocity can be calculated using the launch angle and the time of flight T. At the highest point, the vertical component of the velocity is 0, so we only consider the horizontal component of the velocity. Horizontal component of velocity = initial velocity * cos(α0). The time T is the time taken to reach the highest point, so we can write:

T = time taken to reach the highest point = (initial vertical velocity) / g

Initial vertical velocity = g * T

Now, the initial velocity can be written as:

initial velocity = + (Initial vertical   [tex])√[(Horizontal component of velocity)^2[/tex]                        

               =[tex]√[(initial velocity * cos(α0))^2 + (g * T)^2][/tex]

                =[tex]√[(initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (g * T)^2][/tex]

Since the initial velocity is equal to the change in kinetic energy, we have: Initial kinetic energy :[tex]1/2 * M * [(initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (g * T)^2] \\ WA = 1/2 * M * [(initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (g * T)^2][/tex]

B. Initial velocity:

                     [tex]√[(initial velocity * cos(α0))^2 + (g * (2T))^2]\\ = √[(initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (2gT)^2][/tex]

Now, the initial kinetic energy for this case is: Initial kinetic energy (new) [tex]= 1/2 * M * [(initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (2gT)^2][/tex]

WB [tex]= 1/2 * M * [(initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (2gT)^2][/tex]

C. This shows that the mass and angle do not affect the work done on the can; only the time of flight and the acceleration due to gravity influence it. Since we know that T is doubled in part B (2T), we can write:

WB/WA  [tex]= [((initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (2g * 2T)^2)] / [((initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (g * T)^2)][/tex]

WB/WA [tex]= [((initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (4gT)^2)] / [((initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (gT)^2)][/tex]

Now, we can see that WB is larger than WA by a factor of [tex][((initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (4gT)^2)] / [((initial velocity)^2 * cos^2(α0) + (gT)^2)].[/tex]

The value of this factor will depend on the specific values of the initial velocity, launch angle, and time of flight, but this ratio is greater than 1, indicating that more work is done on the can when it stays in the air for twice the time.

to find:

the charge on the ball

solution:

Using force balance on mass in vertical direction

T= tension in rope

in x-direction

Fx= T*sin A= q*E

in y-direction

Fy = T*cos A = m*g

divide both equation

tan A = q*E/(m*g)

q = (m*g*tan A)/E

Using given values:

a. what is the speed of cart b after collision
b. what is the total momentum of the system before and after collision

Answers

The speed of cart b is 6m/s while the total momentum of the systmen is 4200 kg m/s

Conservation of Linear Momentum

Given Data

Mass of cart one M1  = 150kgInitial Velocity U1 = 8m/sFinal VelocityV1 = 5 m/s

Mass of cart two M2  = 150kg

Velocity U2 = 6m/s

Applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum we have

M1U1+M2U2 = M1V1+ M2V2

a. what is the speed of cart b after collision

substituting our given data we have

150*8+ 150*6 = 150*5+150*V2

1200 + 900 = 1200+ 150V2

2100 - 1200 = 150V2

900 = 150V2

Divide both sides by 150

V2 = 900/150

V2 = 6m/s

b. what is the total momentum of the system before and after collision

Total Momentum in the system is

Total momentum = Momentum before Impact+ Momentum after Impact

Total momentum = M1U1+M2U2 + M1V1+ M2V2

Answers

Hi there!

(a)

Recall that:
[tex]W = F \cdot d = Fdcos\theta[/tex]

W = Work (J)
F = Force (N)
d = Displacement (m)

Since this is a dot product, we only use the component of force that is IN the direction of the displacement. We can use the horizontal component of the given force to solve for the work.

[tex]W =248(56)cos(30) = 12027.36 J[/tex]

To the nearest multiple of ten:
[tex]W_A = \boxed{12030 J}[/tex]

(b)
The object is not being displaced vertically. Since the displacement (horizontal) is perpendicular to the force of gravity (vertical), cos(90°) = 0, and there is NO work done by gravity.

Thus:
[tex]\boxed{W_g = 0 J}[/tex]

(c)
Similarly, the normal force is perpendicular to the displacement, so:
[tex]\boxed{W_N = 0 J}[/tex]

(d)

[tex]F_{f} =\mu_k N[/tex]

In this instance, the normal force is equivalent to the downward force of gravity and the vertical component of the applied force.

[tex]N = F_g + F_A sin(30)\\\\N = mg + F_A sin(30)\\\\N = 56(9.8) + 248sin(30) = 672.8 N[/tex]

Since the force of friction resists the applied force (assigned the positive direction), the work due to friction is NEGATIVE because energy is being LOST. Thus:
[tex]W_f = -\mu_k Nd\\W_f = - (0.1)(672.8)(56) = -3767.68J[/tex]

In multiples of ten:
[tex]\boxed{W_f = -3770 J}[/tex]

(e)
Simply add up the above values of work to find the net work.

[tex]W_{net} = W_A + W_f \\\\W_{net} = 12027.36 + (-3767.68) = 8259.68 J[/tex]

Nearest multiple of ten:
[tex]\boxed{W_{net} = 8260 J}}[/tex]

(f)
Similarly, we can use a summation of forces in the HORIZONTAL direction. (cosine of the applied force)
[tex]F_{net} = F_{Ax} - F_f[/tex]

[tex]W = F_{net} \cdot d = (F_{Ax} - F_f)[/tex]

[tex]W = (F_Acos(30) - \mu_k N)d\\W = (248cos(30) - 0.1(672.8)) * 56 \\\\W = 8259.68 J[/tex]

Nearest multiple of ten:
[tex]\boxed{W_{net} = 8260 J}[/tex]
