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)

enyata [817]

Given Information:

Mass = m = 500 kg

Acceleration = a = 10 cm/s²

Required Information:

Magnitude of rightward net force = F = ?

Answer:

Magnitude of rightward net force = 50 N

Explanation:

From the Newton's second law of motion

F = ma

Where m is the mass and a is the acceleration

To get force in Newtons first convert 10 cm/s² into m/s²

10/100 = 0.1 m/s²

F = 500*0.1

F = 50 N

Therefore, the magnitude of rightward net force acting on it is 50 Newtons.

Be sure to answer all parts. Compare the wavelengths of an electron (mass = 9.11 × 10−31 kg) and a proton (mass = 1.67 × 10−27 k
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Speed, v=6.66\times 10^6\ m/s

Mass of the electron, m_e=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Mass of the proton, m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

The wavelength of the electron is given by :

\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{m_ev}

\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 6.66\times 10^6}

\lambda_e=1.09\times 10^{-10}\ m

The wavelength of the proton is given by :

\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{m_p v}

\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 6.66\times 10^6}

\lambda_p=5.96\times 10^{-14}\ m

(b) Kinetic energy, K=1.71\times 10^{-15}\ J

The relation between the kinetic energy and the wavelength is given by :

\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_eK}}

\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}

\lambda_e=1.18\times 10^{-11}\ m

\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_pK}}

\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}

\lambda_p=2.77\times 10^{-13}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

A. attract each other.

The Law of Universal Gravitation discusses the phenomenon of gravity. Remember that gravity is the force that keeps us on Earth; the Earth pulls us down, and our bodies pull back.  Gravity is the force of attraction, so the correct answer is a).
