On the apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut alan shepard hit a golf ball. the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 of its value on the earth (gravity on moon -1.633m/s2 ). on earth, golf balls are driven at about 84 m/s with a loft angle of about 15º and have a range of about 353 meters. given the same initial speed and loft angle as on the earth, what was (a) the time of flight for the golf ball and (b) what was the range on the moon?

Answers:

This is a parabolic movement, this means it has an X-component and Y-component, and is described by the following equations:

For the Velocity:

$V_{o}=V_{ox}+V_{oy}$

$V_{o}=V_{o}cos\theta+V_{o}sin\theta$ (1)

Where $V_{o}=84\frac{m}{s}$ is the initial Velocity and $\theta=15\º$

$V=V_{ox}+V_{oy}+gt$

$V=V_{o}cos\theta+V_{o}sin\theta+gt$ (2)

Where V=0 is the final Velocity, which in this case is zero and $g=-1.633\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due gravity in the moon.

For the distance :

$r=V_{ox}t+x_{o}+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}+V_{oy}+y_{o}$

Where $x_{o}$ and $y_{o}$ are the components of the initial position of the ball and we will assume it as zero in our reference system.

Therefore the equation for distance becomes:

$r=V_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}+V_{oy}$ (3)

And can be written as:

$r=V_{o}cos\theta.t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}+V_{o}sin\theta$

$r=(cos\theta+sin\theta)V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (4)

Having this established, let's begin with the answers:

(a) The time of flight for the golf ball

For this case, the equation of the velocity will be useful (equation 2):

$V=V_{o}cos\theta+V_{o}sin\theta+gt$ (5)

Substituting the known values and solving to find

$0=84\frac{m}{s}cos(15\º)+84\frac{m}{s}sin(15\º)-1.633\frac{m}{s^{2}}t$

$102.87\frac{m}{s}=1.633\frac{m}{s^{2}}t$

$t=\frac{102.87\frac{m}{s}}{1.633\frac{m}{s^{2}}}$

t=62.99s (6) >>>>This is the time of flight for the golf ball

b) The range (distance traveled by the ball)

For this case, the equation of the distance will be useful (equation 4):

$r=(cos\theta+sin\theta)V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Substiting the value of found on (6):

$r=(cos(15\º)+sin(15\º))84\frac{m}{s}(62.99s)-\frac{1}{2}1.633\frac{m}{s^{2}}}(62.99s)^{2}$ (7)

Solving and finding :

r=6480.32m-3239.65m (8)

r=3240.66m >>>>This is the range of the golf ball

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

Abatter hits the baseball a with an initial velocity of v0 = 110 ft/sec directly toward fielder b at an angle of 23° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.2 ft above ground level. fielder b requires 0.44 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. because of great experience, fielder b chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the “catch position” simultaneously with the baseball. the catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 8.4 ft. determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made.

In a stagnant pool of water, a crayfish may spend much of its time lying with one side of its carapace near the surface of the water. in this position, it will move the walking legs on that side in a rhythmic back-and-forth motion. explain the likely function of this behavior.
