If one bullet is dropped from a certain height and another is fired from a gun horizontally from the same height which one will

hit the ground first or will they hit at the same time?

If the ground is flat, and both bullets are released at the same time from the same height, then they both hit the ground at the same time.

The horizontal motion of the one from the gun has no effect on its vertical motion.

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.9 rad/s in 3.10 s. (a) F
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The value is  \alpha  = 3.84 \  rad/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The constant angular speed is  w =  11.9 \  rad/s

     The time taken is  t =  3.10 \  s

Generally the magnitude of the angular acceleration is  mathematically represented as  

          \alpha  = \frac{w}{t}

=>     \alpha  = \frac{11.9}{ 3.10 }

=>     \alpha  = 3.84 \  rad/s^2

A student leaving school travels 100 m East before he realizes he left his textbook in his locker. He heads back towards school,
andrew11 [14]

-- The overall <em>distance</em> he travels is (100m + 30m + 70m) = <em>200 meters</em>.

-- His <em>displacement </em>when he arrives at his front door is

D = (100m East) + (30m West) + (70m East)

D = (100m + 70m)East + (30m)West

D = (170m East) + (30m West)

<em>D = 140 meters East </em>

It's interesting to notice that his displacement is 60 meters shorter than the distance he walked.  

That's because there's a stretch of 30 meters somewhere in the middle that he actually covered <em>three times</em>.

Two of those times added to the distance his shoes covered (2x30m=60m), but they cancelled out of the displacement.

His front door is 140 meters East of school.  He walked 60m farther than that, going back and forth over the 30m piece.

Aleks [24]
A. Increase until it reaches it's maximum. Sound travels through air and as the amount of air in the jar increases, the loudness or amplitude of the bell increases until it reaches it's maximum at normal air pressure.

A constant force of 10 N is applied to an object. The object accelerates at a constant rate of 4 m/s2. What is the mass of the o
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

I think it is 2.5 kg.

Explanation:

I can say you do:

Fnet = m * a

So, you want to find mass:

m = Fnet / a

So, the answer you will receive is 2.5

Calculate the hang time of a person who moves 3 m horizontally during a 1.25-m high jump. What is the hang time when the person
jekas [21]

The duration of time for which an object stays in air is called the hang time.

For an athlete who moves 3m horizontally during a 1.25m high jump, the hang time will be the sum of the time taken by the athlete to reach the maximum height and the time taken for the athlete to reach the ground from maximum height.

Calculate the time taken t_1 by the athlete to reach the maximum height

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2(1.25)}{9.8}}

t_1 = 0.5s

The athlete takes same time to reach the ground from the maximum height, so t_2 = 0.5s

Calculate the hang time will be

t =t_1+t_2

t = 0.5+0.5

t = 1s

Therefore the hang time of the athlete when he moves a horizontal distance of 3m is 1s.

Similarly, when the athlete runs 6m horizontally, then also there will not be a change in the hang time of the athlete as the hang time is independent of the horizontal distance covered.
