In this vLab you used a complex machine to launch a projectile with the ultimate goal of hitting the target. Assume you built a

really big machine that could launch the projectile a "significant" distance; for instance, several hundred miles. Write a brief essay discussing the issues that would need to be accounted for with a projectile with that type of range. Be sure to include those issues affect the range of the projectile.

For a catapult to fire a projectile a significant range, the projectile will need a large mass. The machine would have to be very large to compensate for that. Also, the machine would be highly inaccurate. It would be entirely too difficult to pinpoint the exact location in which the projectile will hit. If you were to use a projectile that had a smaller mass, it would too easily be affected by friction, wind, and other outside forces. The machine used to fire the projectile itself, would have to be large, and it would be very inefficient.

A private aviation helicopter's main rotor blades rotate at approximately
Arisa [49]

Answer: 7.5 rev/s

Explanation:

We are given the angular velocity \omega a helicopter's main rotor blades:

\omega=450 rpm=450 \frac{rev}{min}

However, we are asked to express this \omega in the International Systrm (SI) units. In this sense, the SI unit for time is second (s):

\omega=450 \frac{rev}{min} \frac{1 min}{60 s}

\omega=7.5 \frac{rev}{s}

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. complete the sentence to describe the distance and ruler postulates. between
Tresset [83]

This question is an illustration of the distance postulate.

<h3>What is distance postulate ?</h3>

The distance between any two different points equates to a single positive real integer, according to the postulate of distance.

The full text is: The distance is a positive unique integer between every pair of different locations.

Consider two separate points A and B as an example.

The distance between A and B is the integer that represents the size of A and B.

The positive number (i.e. the distance) between A and B would be:

d= B-A

d = 6 - 1

d = 1

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun?
expeople1 [14]

Answer: 3.524(10)^{22}N

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force F exerted between two bodies of masses m1 and m2  and separated by a distance r  is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}   (1)

Where:

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}  

m1=1.99(10)^{30}kg is the mass of the Sun

m2=5.972(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

r=1.50(10)^{11}m  is the distance between the Sun and the Earth

Substituting the values in (1):

F=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(1.99(10)^{30}kg)(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{(1.50(10)^{11}m)^2}   (2)

Finally:

F=3.524(10)^{22}N   This is the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun
