A clever inventor has created a device that can launch water balloons with an initial speed of 85.0 m/s. Her goal is to pass a b

alloon through a small hoop mounted on the observation platform at the top of the Eiffel Tower, 276 m above the ground. If the balloon is to pass through the hoop at the peak of its flight, at what angle above horizontal should she launch the balloon? Please explain step by step

Answer:

She must launch the balloon at a 59.9° angle above the horizontal plane.

Explanation:

Refer to the accompanying diagram for a visual explanation of the scenario.

The position and velocity vectors of the balloon at time "t" can be computed using these formulas:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos θ, y0 + v0 · t · sin θ + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0 · cos θ, v0 · sin θ + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector at time "t".

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

θ = launch angle.

y0 = initial vertical position.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² if upward is treated as positive).

v = velocity vector at time "t".

We can establish the origin of the reference frame at the launch point, making x0 and y0 = 0.

At the maximum altitude (276 m), the balloon's velocity vector is horizontal (refer to v1 in the diagram). Thus, the y-component of the velocity vector is zero. We can express this using the velocity vector's y-component equation:

At maximum altitude:

vy = v0 · sin θ + g · t

0 = v0 · sin θ + g · t

Also, at maximum height, the y-component of the position vector is 276 m (see r1y in the diagram). Therefore:

At peak height:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin θ + 1/2 · g · t²  

276 m = y0 + v0 · t · sin θ + 1/2 · g · t²

We have two equations involving two unknowns (θ and t):

276 m = y0 + v0 · t · sin θ + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = v0 · sin θ + g · t

To solve for the variables, we can rearrange the velocity equation for sin θ and substitute it back into the position equation to find t and eventually θ:

0 = v0 · sin θ + g · t

0 = 85.0 m/s · sin θ - 9.81 m/s² · t

9.81 m/s² · t / 85.0 m/s = sin θ

Now, substituting sin θ in the position equation:

276 m = y0 + v0 · t · sin θ + 1/2 · g · t²    (y0 = 0)

276 m = 85.0 m/s · t · (9.81 m/s² · t /85.0 m/s) - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

276 m = 9.81 m/s² · t² - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

276 m = 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

276 m / (1/2 · 9.81 m/s²) = t²

t = 7.50 s

With t known, we can find the angle θ using the previously derived formula:

9.81 m/s² · t / 85.0 m/s = sin θ

9.81 m/s² · 7.50 s / 85.0 m/s = sin θ

θ = 59.9°

She should launch the balloon at a 59.9° angle above the horizontal.

Multiply the number 4.48E-8 by 5.2E-4 using Google. What is the correct answer in scientific notation?
Ostrovityanka [942]

Answer:

2.32\times 10^{-11}

Explanation:

The first number is 4.48\times 10^{-8}.

The second number is 5.2\times 10^{-4}.

We must multiply these two numbers together.

4.48\times 10^{-8}\times 5.2\times 10^{-4}=(4.48\times 5.2)\times 10^{(-8-4)}\\\\=23.296\times 10^{-12}

In scientific notation: 2.32\times 10^{-11}

Therefore, this is the solution you are looking for.

A delivery man starts at the post office, drives 40 km north, then 20 km west, then 60 km northeast, and finally 50 km north to
Yuliya22 [1153]



assuming north-south is along the Y-axis and east-west along the X-axis

X = total X-displacement

from the graph, total displacement in the X-direction is computed as

X = 0 - 20 + 60 Cos45 + 0

X = 42.42 - 20

X = 22.42 m


Y = total Y-displacement

from the graph, total displacement in the Y-direction is computed as

Y = 40 + 0 + 60 Sin45 + 50

Y = 90 + 42.42

Y = 132.42 m

To calculate the magnitude of the net displacement vector, we apply the Pythagorean theorem, yielding

magnitude: Sqrt(X² + Y²) = Sqrt(22.42² + 132.42²) = 134.31 m

Direction: tan⁻¹(Y/X) = tan⁻¹(132.42/22.42) = 80.4 deg north of east

A crate with a mass of m = 450 kg rests on the horizontal deck of a ship. The coefficient of static friction between the crate a
Sav [1095]

Answer:F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg

The force required has a magnitude of 2601.9 N

Explanation:

m = 450 kg

Static friction coefficient μs = 0.73

Kinetic friction coefficient μk = 0.59

The force necessary to initiate movement of the crate is F_{s} =\mu_{s} mg.

Once the crate begins to move, the frictional force decreases to F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg.

To maintain the motion of the crate at a steady velocity, we must lower the pushing force to F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg.

Subsequently, the pushing force aligns with the frictional force stemming from kinetic friction, enabling balanced forces and consistent velocity.

<pMagnitude of the force

F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg\\F_{v} =0.59 \times 450 \times 9.8\\F_{v} =2601.9 N

Two charges of 15 pC and −40 pC are inside a cube with sides that are of 0.40-m length. Determine the net electric flux through
Keith_Richards [1021]

To address this issue, we will utilize the principles related to Gauss' law, which states that the electric flux across a surface corresponds to the object's charge divided by the permittivity of vacuum. In mathematical terms, this can be expressed as

\phi = \frac{Q_{net}}{\epsilon_0}

It's crucial to remember that the net charge equals the difference between the two specified charges, so upon substitution,

\phi = \frac{(15-40)*10^{-12}C}{8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2}

\phi = 2.82WB

The negative sign indicates that the flux is directed into the surface
