(c) The value of υx is always negative and increases very slightly with time. (d) The value of υx is always positive and is constant with time. (e) The value of υx changes from negative to positive with time.

To determine

The correct statement for the projectile motion with no friction.

Answer to Problem 1PLA

Option (d) the value of vx is always positive and is constant with time.

Explanation of Solution

According to Newton’s first law of motion, a moving object continues to move in the same direction with constant velocity unless an unbalance force is acted upon it.

Assuming there is no friction in the projectile motion in Figure 6-1. No horizontal force is acting on the object. Therefore, the horizontal velocity of the object will be constant. And as the object is moving in positive x-direction, the horizontal velocity is positive.

Conclusion:

  1. (a) The projective motion is ideal with no friction and there are no horizontal force acting on the object. Therefore the velocity does not decrease with time. Option (a) is incorrect.
  2. (b) The horizontal velocity does not change from positive to negative with time. Option (b) is incorrect.
  3. (c) The vx is not negative and there is no horizontal acceleration. Option (c) is incorrect.
  4. (d) No horizontal force is acting on the object and the object is moving in positive x-direction. Option (d) is correct.
  5. (e) The horizontal velocity does not change from negative to positive with time. Option (e) is incorrect

For each of the actions depicted below, a magnet and/or metal loop moves with velocity v→ (v→ is constant and has the same magnitude in all parts). Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why. Please fully explain why it's clockwise, Thank you
A planar double pendulum consists of two point masses \[m_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}, \qquad m_2 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}\]connected by massless, rigid rods of lengths \[L_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{m}, \qquad L_2 = 1.20~\mathrm{m}.\]The upper rod is hinged to a fixed pivot; gravity acts vertically downward with\[g = 9.81~\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}.\]Define the generalized coordinates \(\theta_1,\theta_2\) as the angles each rod makes with thedownward vertical (positive anticlockwise, measured in radians unless stated otherwise).At \(t=0\) the system is released from rest with \[\theta_1(0)=120^{\circ}, \qquad\theta_2(0)=-10^{\circ}, \qquad\dot{\theta}_1(0)=\dot{\theta}_2(0)=0 .\]Using the exact nonlinear equations of motion (no small-angle or planar-pendulumapproximations) and assuming the rods never stretch or slip, determine the angle\(\theta_2\) at the instant\[t = 10.0~\mathrm{s}.\]Give the result in degrees, in the interval \((-180^{\circ},180^{\circ}]\).
