A rifle is aimed horizontally at a target 49 m away. the bullet hits the target 2.3 cm below the aim point. part a what was the

Nezavi [6.7K]

We use the equation of motion for vertical component,

$s_{y} = u_{y} t+\frac{1}{2} gt^2.$

Here, $s_{y}$ is displacement of bullet, $u_{y}$ is vertical initial velocity of bullet which is equal to zero because bullet was fired horizontally, and t is time of flight.

Therefore,

$s_{y} =\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Given, $s_{y} =2.3 \ cm = 2.3 \times 10^{-2} \ m$

Substituting the values, we get time of flight

$2.3 \times 10^{-2} \ m = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times t^2 \\\\ t =\sqrt{46.94 \times 10^{-4} \ s } = 0.069 \ s$

A truck starts off 151 miles directly north from the city of Hartville. It travels due east at a speed of 41 miles per hour. Aft

Bess [88]

Answer:

9.51

Explanation:

The distance s is given by:

$s(t) = \sqrt{151^2 + (vt)^2}$

The change in distance is given by the time derivative of s:

$\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{v^2t}{\sqrt{151^2 + (vt)^2}}$

For the time t you solve the equation of distance x for time:

$x = vt => t = \frac{x}{v}$

Plugging in for t:

$\frac{ds}{dt}(t=\frac{x}{v})=\frac{vx }{\sqrt{151^2 + x^2}}=9.51$

A positively charged particle Q1 = +35nC is held fixed at the origin. A second charge of mass m = 3.5ug is floating a distance d

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Q1 = 35 nC = 35 x 10^-9 C

m = 3.5 micro gram = 3.5 x 10^-9 Kg

d = 35 cm = 0.35 m

(a) The electrostatic force between the two charges is balanced by the weight of another charge.

F = m g

$\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}}\frac{Q_{1}Q_{2}}{d^{2}}=mg$

$Q_{2}=\frac{4\pi \epsilon _{0}mgd^{2}}{Q_{1}}$

(b) By substituting the values

$Q_{2}=\frac{3.5\times 10^{-9}\times 9.8\times 0.35\timees 0.35}{9\times 10^{9}\times 35\times 10^{9}}$

Q2 = 13.34 x 10^-12 C

Q2 = 0.0134 nC
