A high powered rifle can shoot a bullet at a speed of 1500 mi/hr. On the moon, with almost no atmosphere and an acceleration due

to gravity of 1.6 m/s2, a bullet shot straight into the air would take how long to return to the moon's surface? On Earth, a standard .30 caliber bullet fired from a rifle pointed straight up would rise to an altitude of 9,000 feet (2,743.2 meters) in 18 seconds, and then would return to Earth in another 31 seconds. How much influence does the atmosphere have on a bullet fired from the surface of the Earth?

Answer:

Explanation:

On the Moon :----

1500 x 1.6 = 2400 m /s is initial velocity of bullet .

g = 1.6 m /s²

v = u - gt

0 = 2400 - 1.6 t

t = 1500 s

This is time of ascent

Time of decent will also be the same

Total time of flight = 2 x 1500 = 3000 s

On the Earth : ---

v = u - a₁ t

0 = u - a₁ x 18

u = 18a₁

v² = u² - 2 x a₁ x 2743.2

0 = (18a₁ )² - 2 x a₁ x 2743.2

a₁ = 16.93

For downward return

s = ut + 1/2 a₂ x t²

2743.2 = 0 + .5 x a₂ x 31²

a₂ = 5.7 m /s²

If d be the deceleration produced by air

g + d = 16.93 ( during upward journey )

g - d = 5.7

g = (16.93 + 5.7) / 2  

= 11.315 m / s

d = 5.6 m /s²

So air is creating a deceleration of 5.6 m /s².

Which statement is correct? (2 points)
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

When a neutral atom looses an electron to another neutral atom, two charged atoms are created.

Explanation:

On the off chance that one of the two unbiased particle looses an electron, it turns out to be emphatically (charge: +1), in light of the fact that the electron conveys a charge of - 1. Thus, the other atom which acknowledges the electron turns out to be adversely charged (charge: - 1). And in the end, we will have two charged atoms.

Can a chemical change be undone?​
Zigmanuir [339]
Because chemical changes result in different substances, they often cannot be undone. Some chemical changes can be reversed, but only by other chemical changes.

Why are dark matter and dark energy described as dark
zaharov [31]
Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it does not absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect.

A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0 kg fish from a dock that is 2.0 m above the water. He is using lightweight fishing line
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The least amount of time in which the fisherman can raise the fish to the  dock without losing it is t= 2 seconds.

Explanation:

m= 5 kg

h= 2m

Fmax= 54 N

g= 9.8 m/s²

W= m * g

W= 49 N

F= Fmax - W

F= 5 N

F=m*a

a= F/m

a= 1 m/s²

h= a * t²/2

t= √(2*h/a)

t= 2 seconds
