From the top of a tall building, a gun is fired. The bullet leaves the gun at a speed of 340 m/s, parallel to the ground. As the

drawing shows, the bullet puts a hole in a window of another building and hits the wall that faces the window. (y = 0.60 m, and x = 7.1 m.) Using the data in the drawing, determine the distances D and H, which locate the point where the gun was fired. Assume that the bullet does not slow down as it passes through the window.

Answer:

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m

Explanation:

It would have been easier with the drawing. This problem is a projectile launching exercise, as they give us data after the window passes and the wall collides, let's calculate with this data the speeds at the point of contact with the window.

X axis

           x = Vox t

           t = x / vox

           t = 7.1 / 340

           t = 2.09 10-2 s

In this same time the height of the window fell

           Y = Voy t - ½ g t²

Let's calculate the initial vertical speed, this speed is in the window

           Voy = (Y + ½ g t²) / t

           Voy = [0.6 + ½ 9.8 (2.09 10⁻²)²] /2.09 10⁻² = 0.579 / 0.0209

            Voy = 27.7 m / s

We already have the speed at the point of contact with the window. Now let's calculate the distance (D) and height (H) to the launch point, for this we calculate the time it takes to get from the launch point to the window; at this point the vertical speed is Vy2 = 27.7 m / s

             Vy = Voy - gt₂

             Vy = 0 -g t₂

             t₂ = Vy / g

             t₂ = 27.7 / 9.8

             t₂ = 2.83 s

This is the time it also takes to travel the horizontal and vertical distance

            X = Vox t₂

            D = 340 2.83

            D = 962.2 m

           

            Y = Voy₂– ½ g t₂²

            Y = 0 - ½ g t2

            H = Y = - ½ 9.8 2.83 2

            H = 39.2 m

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m

A bulldozer and a Mini Cooper are involved in a head-on collision. Which one experiences a greater force
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The mini Cooper will experience the greater force

Explanation:

Generally, a bulldozer has a greater mass compared to a Mini Cooper hence when both of these vehicles interact in an head on collision the Mini Cooper will experience a greater force because the bulldozer has a greater momentum

On a highway curve with a radius of 46 meters, the maximum force of static friction that can act on a 1,200 kg car going around
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

v\approx 16.956\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The motion of the vehicule on a highway curve can be modelled by the following equation of equilibrium:

\Sigma F = f = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

The maximum speed is:

v = \sqrt{\frac{f\cdot R}{m} }

v = \sqrt{\frac{(7500\,N)\cdot (46\,m)}{1200\,kg} }

v\approx 16.956\,\frac{m}{s}

If the centripetal and thus frictional force between the tires and the roadbed of a car moving in a circular
erastova [34]

Answer;

D. The car would begin to move in the direction it was headed in a straight line.

Explanation;

-Centripetal force is any net force causing uniform circular motion. The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration.

-The centripetal force causing the car to turn in a circular path is due to friction between the tires and the road. A minimum coefficient of friction is needed, or the car will move in a larger-radius curve and leave the roadway.

-Therefore,If the centripetal and thus frictional force between the tires and the roadbed of a car moving in a circular path were reduced then the car would begin to move in the direction it was headed in a straight line.
