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)

A 5.50-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

17.71N/m

Explanation:

The period of the spring is expressed according to the expression;

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\

m is the mass of the object

k is the force constant

Given

m = 5.50kg

T = 3.50s

Substitute into the formula;

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\3.5 = 2 (3.14) \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\3.5 = 6.28 \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\\frac{3.5}{6.28} =  \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\0.557 = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\square \ both \ sides\\0.557^2 = (\sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} })^2 \\0.3106 = \frac{5,5}{k}\\k = \frac{5.5}{0.3106}\\k =  17.71N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 17.71N/m

Can more people see a total solar eclipse or a total lunar eclipse?Explain.
Nana76 [90]
More people can see a total lunar eclipse, because they are widely more visible because Earth casts a shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse than the Moon casts on Earth during a solar eclipse. Also because total lunar eclipses are basically "bigger" than a total solar eclipse.
