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.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

A)A=0.075 m

B)v= 0.21 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m = 0.75 kg

K= 13.5 N

The natural frequency of the block given as

\omega =\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}

The maximum speed v given as

v=\omega A

A=Amplitude

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}\times A

0.32=\sqrt{\dfrac{13.5}{0.75}}\times A

A=0.075 m

A= 0.75 cm

The speed at distance x

v=\omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}\times \sqrt{A^2-x^2}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{13.5}{0.75}}\times \sqrt{0.075^2-(0.075\times 0.75)^2}

v= 0.21 m/s

D. All of the above

At high tide fish will feed among the mangrove roots - rich fishing ground

The trees trap sediment and soil in the river that would flow out to sea which also helps stop erosion

Wildlife utilise almost every part of the tree, with insects and birds, monkeys and lizards in the branches, shrimps and fish in the roots, and snails and clams in the soil

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

For infinite speed to be achevied, one must have no sink of energy to spend. The source of entropy in this example, is the tires hitting the surface, producing heat and friction. Not to mention that you'd still need fuel to start the car, and an infinite tunnel or track, which would be impossible and speed up to process of energy loss through entropy quicker.
