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)

Calculate the magnitude of the total impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Total impulse = mv = Initial momentum of the car

Explanation:

Let the mass of the car be 'm' kg moving with a velocity 'v' m/s.

The final velocity of the car is 0 m/s as it is brought to rest.

Impulse is equal to the product of constant force applied to an object for a very small interval. Impulse is also calculated as the total change in the linear momentum of an object during the given time interval.

The magnitude of impulse is the absolute value of the change in momentum.

|J|=|p_f-p_i|

Momentum of an object is equal to the product of its mass and velocity.

So, the initial momentum of the car is given as:

p_i=mv

The final momentum of the car is given as:

p_f=m(0)=0

Therefore, the impulse is given as:

|J|=|p_f-p_i|=|0-mv|=|-mv|=mv

Hence, the magnitude of the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest is equal to the initial momentum of the car.

A football player with a mass of 85 kg wears a uniform and helmet that have a mass of 4.5 kg. The football player moves at 2.1 m
DochEvi [55]
The answer would be 187.95 kg.m/s.

To get the momentum, all you have to do is multiply the mass of the moving object by the velocity. 

p = mv

Where:
P = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity

Not the question is asking what is the total momentum of the football player and uniform. So we need to first get the combined mass of the football player and the uniform. 

Mass of football player = 85.0 kg
Mass of the uniform     = <u>  4.5 kg</u>
TOTAL MASS                  89.5 kg

So now we have the mass. So let us get the momentum of the combined masses. 

p = mv
   = (89.5kg)(2.1m/s)
   = 187.95 kg.m/s
