An observer stands 24.7 m behind a marksman practicing at a rifle range. The marksman fires the rifle horizontally, the speed of

the bullets is 814.8 m/s, and the air temperature is 20°C. How far does each bullet travel before the observer hears the report of the rifle? Assume that the bullets encounter no obstacles during this interval, and ignore both air resistance and the vertical component of the bullets' motion.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     Velocity of bullet, c_{p} = 814.8 m/s

    Observer distance from marksman, d = 24.7 m

Let us assume that time necessary for report of rifle to reach the observer is t and will be calculated as follows.

               t = \frac{24.7}{343}      (velocity in air = 343 m/s)

                 = 0.072 sec

Now, before the observer hears the report the distance traveled by the bullet is as follows.

               d_{b} = c_{b} \times t

                          = 814.8 \times 0.072

                          = 58.66

                          = 59 (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that each bullet will travel a distance of 59 m.

A student hangs a wood block from a spring. The student pulls the block downwards so the spring is stretched and holds the block
Murrr4er [49]
Kinetic energy because of the wood plank is just still and not moving it’s potential but since it’s asking which one it doesn’t have it doesn’t have kinetic energy cause it’s not moving

The frequency of the second harmonic of a certain musical instrument is 100 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the instrum
ruslelena [56]
The harmonic frequency of a musical instrument is the minimum frequency at which a string that is fixed at both ends in the instrument may vibrate. The harmonic frequency is known as the first harmonic. Each subsequent harmonic has a frequency equal to:
n*f, where n is the number of the harmonic and f is the harmonic frequency. Therefore, the harmonic frequency may be calculated using:
f = 100 / 2
f = 50 Hz

How an application of atmospheric device work?example siphon​
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

A practical siphon, operating at typical atmospheric pressures and tube heights, works because gravity pulling down on the taller column of liquid leaves reduced pressure at the top of the siphon (formally, hydrostatic pressure when the liquid is not moving).

I hope it's helpful!
