You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizont

al range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.4 ss for the dart to land back at the barrel.What is the maximum horizontal range of your gun (in meters)?

Answer:

47.48 m

Explanation:

The horizontal range of an object can be estimated using the equation below:

$S_{x} =$ $\frac{v^{2}*sin (2\alpha)}{g}$

For the maximum horizontal range to occur, the angle $\alpha$ is 45°. Then, the horizontal range will be:

$S_{x}$ = $\frac{v^{2}*sin 90}{g} = \frac{v^{2}}{g}$

In addition, the velocity (v) can be estimated using the equation below:

v = gt/2

Therefore, the maximum horizontal range is:

$S_{x} = \frac{(gt/2)^{2}}{g}$ = (9.81*4.4/2)^2 / 9.81 = 47.48 m

Answer:

Friction

Explanation:

As the toy cars rolls away, more friction is created. The more friction there is, the more friction on surface rubs against another which creates friction which in-term slows it down. Hope this helps.

The position of a particle moving along the x-axis depends on the time according to the equation x = ct2 - bt3, where x is in me

Sav [38]

Answer:

(a): $\rm meter/ second^2.$

(b): $\rm meter/ second^3.$

(c): $\rm 2ct-3bt^2.$

(d): $\rm 2c-6bt.$

(e): $\rm t=\dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

Explanation:

Given, the position of the particle along the x axis is

$\rm x=ct^2-bt^3.$

The units of terms $\rm ct^2$ and $\rm bt^3$ should also be same as that of x, i.e., meters.

The unit of t is seconds.

(a):

Unit of $\rm ct^2=meter$

Therefore, unit of $\rm c= meter/ second^2.$

(b):

Unit of $\rm bt^3=meter$

Therefore, unit of $\rm b= meter/ second^3.$

(c):

The velocity v and the position x of a particle are related as

$\rm v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dx}(ct^2-bt^3)\\=2ct-3bt^2.$

(d):

The acceleration a and the velocity v of the particle is related as

$\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(2ct-3bt^2)\\=2c-6bt.$

(e):

The particle attains maximum x at, let's say, $\rm t_o$ , when the following two conditions are fulfilled:

$\rm \left (\dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0.$
$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}$

Applying both these conditions,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0\\2ct_o-3bt_o^2=0\\t_o(2c-3bt_o)=0\\t_o=0\ \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \ 2c=3bt_o\Rightarrow t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

For $\rm t_o = 0$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6\cdot 0=2c$

Since, c is a positive constant therefore, for $\rm t_o = 0$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}>0$

Thus, particle does not reach its maximum value at $\rm t = 0\ s.$

For $\rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6b\cdot \dfrac{2c}{3b}=2c-4c=-2c.$

Here,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}$

Thus, the particle reach its maximum x value at time $\rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

Answer:

v (speed) = S / t = 4 * 400 m / (6 * 60 sec) = 4.4 m/s

The average velocity is zero because there is no net vector displacement.

If something is being carried by westerlies, what direction is it moving??

sergejj [24]

Winds are immigrants. They're named for where they have already been and are coming from, not for where they're going.

A Westerly wind is coming from the West. Anything caught in it is being blown toward the east.
