Answer:
Centripetal acceleration = 83.77m/s²
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Radius, r = 0.13m
Velocity, v = 3.3m/s
To find centripetal acceleration;
Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;
Substituting into the equation, we have;
<em>Centripetal acceleration = 83.77m/s²</em>
<em>Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the edge of the disc is 83.77 m/s². </em>
First
let us imagine the projectile launched at initial velocity V and at angle
θ relative to the horizontal. (ignore wind resistance)
Vertical component y:
The
initial vertical velocity is given as Vsinθ
The moment the projectile reaches the maximum
height of h, the vertical velocity
will be 0, therefore the time t taken to attain this maximum height is:
h = Vsinθ - gt
0 = Vsinθ - gt
t = (Vsinθ)/g
where
g is acceleration due to gravity
Horizontal component x:
The initial horizontal velocity is given as Vcosθ. However unlike
the vertical component, this horizontal velocity remains constant because this is unaffected by gravity. The time to travel the
horizontal distance D is twice the value of t times the horizontal velocity.
D = Vcosθ*[(2Vsinθ)/g]
D = (2V²sinθ cosθ)/g
D = (V²sin2θ)/g
In order for D (horizontal distance) to be
maximum, dD/dθ = 0
That is,
2V^2 cos2θ / g = 0
And since 2V^2/g must not be equal to zero, therefore cos(2θ) = 0
This is true when 2θ = π/2 or θ = π/4
Therefore it is now<span> shown that the maximum horizontal travelled is attained when
the launch angle is π/4 radians, or 45°.</span>
Answer:
45 degrees
Explanation:
The textbooks say that the maximum range for projectile motion (with no air resistance) is 45 degrees.
The emerging velocity of the bullet is <u>71 m/s.</u>
The bullet of mass <em>m</em> moving with a velocity <em>u</em> has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed <em>v</em> when it emerges from the block.
If the block exerts a resistive force <em>F</em> on the bullet and the thickness of the block is <em>x</em> then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v<em>₁.</em>
Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v<em>₁.</em>

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s
