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.

1. Spring force is proportional to stretch distance, F=kd. Do you expect doubling the stretch distance double the force?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The spring force is given as:

          F  = kd

F is the spring force

K is the spring constant

d is the magnitude of the stretch

 Since k is a constant, therefore, doubling the stretch distance will double the force.

Both stretch distance and force applied can be said to be directly proportional to one another.

Most radiation exposure comes from
Mrrafil [7]
Most radiation exposure comes from natural sources. These so-called "natural sources" include Radon, Internal, Terrestrial, and Cosmic. Among that, Radon proves to be the largest source of radiation. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium.

Calculate the pressure the fluid exerted on your diver. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and the density of the water is
erica [24]

Complete question:

A diver is 10 m below the surface of water. Calculate the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. Answer in units of Pa. Show your work.

Answer:

Tthe pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

Given;

density of water, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

diver's position below the surface of the water, h = 10 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Let the atmospheric pressure, P₀ = 101325 Pa

The pressure 10 m below the surface of the water is calculated as;

P =  P₀  + ρgh

P = 101325 Pa  +  (1000 x 9.8 x 10)Pa

P = 199325 Pa

P = 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa.

Therefore, the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa

Wil-E-Coyote drops a bowling ball off a cliff to try to catch the Roadrunner. The cliff is
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

t = 5.19 s

Explanation:

We have,

Height of the cliff is 132 m

It is required to find the time taken by the ball to fall to the ground. Let t is the time taken. So, using equation of kinematics as :

y=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\\text{since}\ u=0\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2y}{g}}\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 132}{9.8}}\\\\t=5.19\ s

So, it will take 5.19 seconds to fall to the ground.
