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.

Explanation:

Answer

How about a thunder storm. I don't know if you live in a city or out in the sticks as I do. Lighting is very obvious and it is not a good idea to be out when experiencing a thunderstorm, especially in an open field. You might be the only thing around that will cause the lightning to be connected to the ground.#  Seconds later, you will hear the thunder which is quite harmless. If you live in the city, observing this is not quite so easy. There are all kinds of buildings around and some of them may block your view.

#The great golfer, Lee Travino, was "hit" by lightening storm twice while playing in tournaments.

The speed of sound in air at room temperature is about s=343 m/s. calculate this speed in miles per hour (mph). (1 mi = 1609 m.)
igor_vitrenko [27]
Given:
1 mi = 1609 m.

Also,
1 hour = 3600 s

Therefore
343 \,  \frac{m}{s} =(343 \,  \frac{m}{s} )*(3600 \,  \frac{s}{h}) *( \frac{1}{1609}\, \frac{mi}{m})=  767.433 \,  \frac{mi}{h}

Answer: 767.4 mph (nearest tenth)

What would u expect the tides to be like during a first quarter moon?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

During the first quarter or last quarter phase of the moon, when the sun and moon are perpendicular (at right angles) to each other in relation to the Earth, the tidal gravitational pulls interfere with each other, producing weaker tides, known as neap tides.
