Will Mark Brainliest if Correct PLZ!!!!! A bullet is shot at some angle above the horizontal at an initial velocity of 87m/s on

a level surface. It travels in the air for 13.6 seconds before it strikes the ground 760 m from the shooter. At what angle above the horizontal was the bullet fired? Round to the nearest whole number and include units in your answer Use g= -9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration of gravity.

Answer:

≅50°

Explanation:

We have a bullet flying through the air with only gravity pulling it down, so let's use one of our kinematic equations:

Δx=V₀t+at²/2

And since we're using Δx, V₀ should really be the initial velocity in the x-direction. So:

Δx=(V₀cosθ)t+at²/2

Now luckily we are given everything we need to solve (or you found the info before posting here):

  • Δx=760 m
  • V₀=87 m/s
  • t=13.6 s
  • a=g=-9.8 m/s²; however, at 760 m, the acceleration of the bullet is 0 because it has already hit the ground at this point!

With that we can plug the values in to get:

760=(87)(cos\theta )(13.6)+\frac{(0)(13.6^{2}) }{2}

760=(1183.2)(cos\theta)

cos\theta=\frac{760}{1183.2}

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{760}{1183.2})\approx50^{o}

Which of the following best describes entropy
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Exothermic reactions increase the entropy of the surroundings. Simply put, entropy measures the dispersal of energy. Since ΔH is negative in an exothermic reaction, this must mean that ΔS will take on a positive value, indicating an increase in entropy.

How are acceleration and speed related​
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.

Difference between electrolytes and nonelectrolytes.
Trava [24]

Answer:

Electrolytes are salts or molecules that ionize completely in solution. As a result, electrolyte solutions readily conduct electricity. Nonelectrolytes do not dissociate into ions in solution; nonelectrolyte solutions do not, therefore, conduct electricity
