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.
a. Find the velocity and position vectors for t >_0.

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)

James threw a ball vertically upward with a velocity of 41.67ms-1 and after 2 second David threw a ball vertically upward with a
Reptile [31]

Answer:

When have passed 3.9[s], since James threw the ball.

Explanation:

First, we analyze the ball thrown by James and we will find the final height and velocity by the time two seconds have passed.

We'll use the kinematics equations to find these two unknowns.

y=y_{0} +v_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\where:\\y= elevation [m]\\y_{0}=initial height [m]\\v_{0}= initial velocity [m/s] =41.67[m/s]\\t = time passed [s]\\g= gravity [m/s^2]=9.81[m/s^2]\\Now replacing:\\y=0+41.67 *(2)-\frac{1}{2} *(9.81)*(2)^{2} \\\\y=63.72[m]\\

Note: The sign for the gravity is minus because it is acting against the movement.

Now we can find the velocity after 2 seconds.

v_{f} =v_{o} +g*t\\replacing:\\v_{f} =41.67-(9.81)*(2)\\\\v_{f}=22.05[m/s]

Note: The sign for the gravity is minus because it is acting against the movement.

Now we can take these values calculated as initial values, taking into account that two seconds have already passed. In this way, we can find the time, through the equations of kinematics.

y=y_{o} +v_{o} *t-\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\y=63.72 +22.05 *t-\frac{1}{2} *(9.81)*t^{2} \\\\y=63.72 +22.05 *t-4.905*t^{2} \\

As we can see the equation is based on Time (t).

Now we can establish with the conditions of the ball launched by David a new equation for y (elevation) in function of t, then we match these equations and find time t

y=y_{o} +v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\where:\\v_{o} =55.56[m/s] = initial velocity\\y_{o} =0[m]\\now replacing\\63.72 +22.05 *t-(4.905)*t^{2} =0 +55.56 *t-(4.905)*t^{2} \\63.72 +22.05 *t =0 +55.56 *t\\63.72 = 33.51*t\\t=1.9[s]

Then the time when both balls are going to be the same height will be when 2 [s] plus 1.9 [s] have passed after David throws the ball.

Time = 2 + 1.9 = 3.9[s]

A rural mail carrier logged the mileage on the odometer at the start of the mail route as 31,500 miles. After 6.5 hours, the car
dusya [7]

Answer:32.77\ mi/hr

Explanation:

Given

Initially Reading on the odometer is 31,500\ miles

Final reading on the odometer is 31,713\ miles

Time taken is t=6.5\ hr

average velocity =\dfrac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{time}}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{31713-31500}{6.5}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{213}{6.5}

v_{avg}=32.77\ mi/hr

Thus the average velocity of mail truck is 32.77\ mi/hr
