I scrolled all the way to the bottom and did not see any work by you so do not know where you got stuck.
Surely you do not want to see if I can do them. I have been doing these since 1955.
Great answer, Damon! :-)
Question 1:
To find the speed at which the stone was thrown, we need to use the equation of motion for vertical motion:
vf = vi + gt
where vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s^2), and t is the time of flight.
Since the stone returns to the same level, its final velocity is 0 m/s. Let's assume the initial velocity of the stone is vi. The time of flight is given as 4 seconds.
0 = vi + (-9.8)(4)
Solving this equation, we get vi = 39.2 m/s.
Since none of the given options match vi = 39.2 m/s, we cannot determine the correct answer from the given options.
Question 2:
The variation in the range and the height of a projectile is common to the time of flight. The time of flight is the total time taken by the projectile to reach the maximum height and then return to the same horizontal level.
Question 3:
To find the speed and angle at which the projectile should be fired, we need to use the equations of projectile motion.
The horizontal motion of the projectile does not depend on the initial speed or angle. So, we can neglect the horizontal motion and focus on the vertical motion.
Let's assume the speed at which the projectile is fired relative to the cart is vf and the angle to the horizontal is θ.
The time taken by the cart to move 80 m is given by:
time = distance / speed
time = 80 m / 30 m/s
time = 8/3 s
Using the equation for vertical motion:
vf = vi + gt
0 = vi + (-9.8)(8/3)
vi = 26.13 m/s
Now, we can use the equations for projectile motion to find vf and θ.
vf = vi + g * t
vf = 26.13 + (-9.8)(8/3)
vf = 26.13 - 25.07
vf = 1.06 m/s
θ = tan^-1(vf/vi)
θ = tan^-1(1.06/26.13)
θ ≈ 2.31 degrees
Since none of the given options matching the calculated values, we cannot determine the correct answer from the given options.
Question 4:
To find where the object would land, we need to find the horizontal distance traveled by the object.
The time taken for the object to reach its maximum height can be found using the equation:
vf = vi + gt
0 = vi + (-9.8)(t)
t = vi/9.8
The maximum height reached can be found using the equation:
h = vi^2/2g
From the top of the building to the maximum height:
h = 20 m
vi^2/19.6 = 20
vi^2 = 392
vi ≈ 19.8 m/s
The time taken for the object to reach its maximum height is:
t = 19.8/9.8
t ≈ 2 s
The total time of flight is twice the time taken to reach the maximum height:
total time = 2t
total time = 2(2)
total time = 4 s
The horizontal distance traveled can be found using the equation:
horizontal distance = vi * total time
horizontal distance = 19.8 * 4
horizontal distance = 79.2 m
So, the object will land 79.2 meters from the foot of the building.
From the given options, the correct answer is 80 m.
Question 5:
To find the acceleration of the wagon, we need to use Newton's second law of motion:
F = ma
where F is the applied force (100 N) and m is the mass of the wagon.
Since the mass is not given, we cannot determine the acceleration using the given information.
Question 6:
To find the tension in the chord connecting the masses, we need to consider the balancing of forces in the Atwood machine.
The difference in the weights of the two masses is equal to the tension in the chord.
Let's assume the mass on the left side is M1 and the mass on the right side is M2.
Tension = M1g - M2g
Tension = (M1 - M2)g
From the given options, the correct answer is 65 N.
Question 7:
To find the acceleration of the masses in the Atwood machine, we need to consider the net force acting on the system.
The net force is equal to the difference in the weights of the two masses.
Let's assume the mass on the left side is M1 and the mass on the right side is M2.
Net
