Simple harmonic motion

Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards…

Simple Pendulum

A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.

Oscillation

In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion tak…

A ball is thrown with an initial speed v, at an angle 6, with the horizontal. The horizontal range of the ball is R, and the ball reaches a maximum height R/4. In terms of R and g, find the following. (a) the time interval during which the ball is in motion 2R (b) the ball's speed at the peak of its path v= Rg 2 √ sin 26, V 3 (c) the initial vertical component of its velocity Rg sin ei sin 20 (d) its initial speed Rg √ sin 20 × (e) the angle 6, expressed in terms of arctan of a fraction. 1 (f) Suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed found in (d) but at the angle appropriate for reaching the greatest height that it can. Find this height. hmax R2 (g) Suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed but at the angle for greatest possible range. Find this maximum horizontal range. Xmax R√3 2

An outfielder throws a baseball to his catcher in an attempt to throw out a runner at home plate. The ball bounces once before reaching the catcher. Assume the angle at which the bounced ball leaves the ground is the same as the angle at which the outfielder threw it as shown in the figure, but that the ball's speed after the bounce is one-half of what it was before the bounce. 8 (a) Assuming the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed, at what angle & should the fielder throw the ball to make it go the same distance D with one bounce (blue path) as a ball thrown upward at 35.0° with no bounce (green path)? 24 (b) Determine the ratio of the time interval for the one-bounce throw to the flight time for the no-bounce throw. Cone-bounce no-bounce 0.940

A rocket is launched at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 97 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 28.0 m/s². At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile. (a) Find the maximum altitude reached by the rocket. 1445.46 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m (b) Find its total time of flight. 36.16 x Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. s (c) Find its horizontal range. 1753.12 × Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m
