Consider the motion of a bullet that is fired from a rifle 6 m above the ground in a northeast direction. The initial velocity o

f the bullet is (200, 200, 0) . Assume the​ x-axis points​ east, the​ y-axis points​ north, the positive​ z-axis is vertical​ (opposite g), the ground is​ horizontal, and only the gravitational force acts on the object.

Answer:

The time taken for the bullet to hit the ground: 1.1059

Final Velocity Vector: (200, 200, -10.85)

Final Position Vector: (221.18, 221.18, 0)

Explanation:

For this problem, lets start with finding the time it takes for the bullet to hit the ground. Since it was fired horizontally, it's initial vertical velocity is zero. This is also it's velocity in the z direction.

Time taken for the bullet to hit the ground:

s=u*t +\frac{1}{2} (a*t^2)

here, s = -6 m

u = 0 (initial velocity)

a = -9.81

Solving for t, we get 1.1059 seconds.

In this time, the position change in the x and y axis will be:

x axis: 200 * 1.1059 = 221.18

y axis: 200 * 1.1059 = 221.18

Thus the final position vector will be:

(221.18 , 221.18 , 0)

Note the zero in the z direction is because ground is located at 0.

Let's find the final z velocity as well for the velocity vector:

v^2-u^2=2*a*s

v^2=2 * 9.81 * 6

v = 10.85 m/s (final velocity)

The final velocity vector becomes:

(200, 200, -10.85)

Suppose a child drives a bumper car head on into the side rail, which exerts a force of 3400 N on the car for 0.400 s.(a) What i
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

a) 1360kgm/s b) 5.14m/s

Explanation:

a) According to Newton's second law of motion,

Force = mass × acceleration

F = ma

since acceleration = change in velocity (v-u)/time(t)

F = m(v-u)/t

Ft = m(v-u) = Impulse.

Impulse is defined as change in momentum of a body. It can be expressed as;

Impulse = Ft = m(v-u)

Given force exerted on the car = 3400N

time taken = 0.400seconds

Impulse = 3400×0.4

Impulse = 1360kgm/s

b) To find the final velocity/(v) of the car, we will use the equation of motion below;

v = u+at where;

v is the final velocity = ?

u is the initial velocity = 3.2m/s

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken = 0.4second

To get the acceleration, we will use the formula F = ma where;

m is the mass

F is the force

a is the acceleration

a = F/m = 3400/200

a = 17m/s²

Substituting the values to get the final velocity 'v' we have;

v² = 3.2²+17(0.4)

v² = 10.24+6.8

v² = 17.04

v =√17.04

v = 4.13m/s

The final velocity of the bumper car is 4.14m/s

The towline exerts a force of p = 4 kn at the end of the 20-m-long crane boom. if u = 30, determine the placement x of the hook
Illusion [34]

Answer:

The answer is 80 kN . m (clockwise)

Explanation:

As,

M = P x L

Here, the towline exerts a force is P.

Substituting P for 4000N.

M = -4000N x 20m

   = -80000N.m

   = 80kN.m

Maximum moment about the point O is 80kN.m (Clockwise)
