Fast Bullets A rifle with that shoots bullets at 420 m/s shoots a bullet at a target 49.8 m away. How high above the target must

Answer:

0.08°

Explanation:

velocity of projection, u = 420 m/s

Horizontal range, R = 49.8 m

Let the angle of projection is θ.

Use the formula for the horizontal range.

$R=\frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}$

$49.8=\frac{420^{2}Sin2\theta }{9.8}$

Sin 2θ = .0027

2θ = 0.1585

θ = 0.08°

How are Earth and Venus similar? How is Venus different from Earth? (Provide two similarities and two differences.)

Alika [10]

Venus shares a similar size, surface composition, and has an atmosphere with a complex weather system. Venus is different from Earth because it spins the opposite direction of Earth and it’s rotation is very slow.

You observe that a negatively charged plastic pen repels a charged piece of magic tape. You then observe that the same piece of

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(2) The excess negative charge from the sphere spread out all over your body.

(7) After you touched it, the metal sphere was very nearly neutral.

Explanation:

Plastic pen repels magic tape so magic tape is also negatively charged . Further , magic tape repels small metal sphere that means small sphere also is negatively charged.

Now when small sphere is touched by a man insulated from ground , the charge is distributed between man and small sphere according to their capacitance .

Since human body will have greater capacitance ,it will acquire larger share of charge . Sphere being of very small size will retain very less charge and it will become almost neutral . Hence it will be attracted by charged tape .

A 15 kg bucket of water is suspended by a very light ropewrapped around a solid uniform cylinder 0.300 m in diamter withmass 12.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Part a)

$T = 42 N$

Part b)

$v_f = 11.8 m/s$

Part c)

$t = 1.7 s$

Part d)

$F = 159.7 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

While bucket is falling downwards we have force equation of the bucket given as

$mg - T = ma$

for uniform cylinder we will have

$TR = I\alpha$

so we have

$T = \frac{1}{2}MR^2(\frac{a}{R^2})$

$T = \frac{1}{2}Ma$

now we have

$mg = (\frac{M}{2} + m)a$

$a = \frac{mg}{(\frac{M}{2} + m)}$

$a = \frac{15 \times 9.81}{(6 + 15)}$

$a = 7 m/s^2$

now we have

$T = \frac{12 \times 7}{2}$

$T = 42 N$

Part b)

speed of the bucket can be found using kinematics

so we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 0 = 2(7)(10)$

$v_f = 11.8 m/s$

Part c)

now in order to find the time of fall we can use another equation

$v_f - v_i = at$

$11.8 - 0 = 7 t$

$t = 1.7 s$

Part d)

as we know that cylinder is at rest and not moving downwards

so here we can use force balance

$F = T + Mg$

$F = 42 + (12 \times 9.81)$

$F = 159.7 N$

Which one of the following types of electromagnetic wave travels through space the fastest?

Setler [38]

Answer:

As a result, light travels fastest in empty space, and travels slowest in solids. In glass, for example, light travels about 197,000 km/s.
