A cruise missile under test is moving horizontally at Ma =2 in the atmosphere at an elevation of 2000 m (Air temperature is 2 °C

). Determine the half-angle "alpha" of the Mach cone.

Answer: the half-angle "alpha" of the Mach cone = 30⁰

Explanation:

To calculate the  half-angle "alpha" of the Mach cone.

we say ;

Sin∝ = 1 / Ma

given that Ma = 2

now we substitute

Sin∝ = 1 / 2

Sin∝ = 0.5

∝ = Sin⁻¹ 0.5

∝ = 30⁰

Therefore, the half-angle "alpha" of the Mach cone is 30⁰

Two parallel Rivers (A and B) are separated by confined and unconfined aquifer estimate the RATE of seepage of river A to River
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A confined aquifer is one that's impermeable and does not allow seepage's  of water through it.

An unconfined aquifer is a body of water that has permeable membranes which allows passage of water through it.

There will be little or no transmission of water trough these bodies of water.

Find the mechanical average of a wheel axle System of the wheel has a radius of 1.5 feet in the accident has a radius of 6 inche
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Mechanical average of a wheel = 3

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of wheel = 1.5 ft = 1.5 x 12 = 18 inches

Radius of axle = 6 inches

Find:

Mechanical average of a wheel

Computation:

Mechanical average of a wheel = Radius of wheel / Radius of axle

Mechanical average of a wheel = 18 / 6

Mechanical average of a wheel = 3

Suppose that you can throw a projectile at a large enough v0 so that it can hit a target a distance R downrange. Given that you
viktelen [127]

Answer:

\theta_1=15^o\\\theta_2=75^o

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

In projectile motion, there are two separate components of the acceleration, velocity and displacement. The horizontal component has zero acceleration (assuming no friction), and the acceleration in the vertical direction is always the acceleration of gravity. The basic formulas are shown below:

V_x=V_{ox}=V_ocos\theta

Where \theta is the angle of launch respect to the positive horizontal direction and Vo is the initial speed.

V_y=V_{oy}-gt=V_osin\theta-gt

The  horizontal and vertical distances are, respectively:

x=V_{o}cos\theta t

\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

The total flight time can be found as that when y = 0, i.e. when the object comes back to ground (or launch) level. From the above equation we find

\displaystyle t_f=\frac{2V_osin\theta}{g}

Using this time in the horizontal distance, we find the Range or maximum horizontal distance:

\displaystyle R=\frac{V_o^2sin2\theta}{g}

Let's solve for \theta

\displaystyle sin2\theta=\frac{R.g}{V_o^2}

This is the general expression to determine the angles at which the projectile can be launched to hit the target. Recall the angle can have to values for fixed positive values of its sine:

\displaystyle \theta_1=\frac{asin\left(\frac{R.g}{V_o^2}\right)}{2}

\displaystyle \theta_2=\frac{180^o-asin\left(\frac{R.g}{V_o^2}\right)}{2}

Or equivalently:

\theta_2=90^o-\theta_1

Given Vo=37 m/s and R=70 m

\displaystyle \theta_1=\frac{asin\left(\frac{70\times 9.8}{37^2}\right)}{2}

\theta_1=15^o

And

\theta_2=90^o-15^o=75^o

Calculate the magnitude of the velocity and the θ angular direction of the block and the bullet together when the 50 g bullet mo
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Magnitude of the velocity = 16.82 m/s

Angular direction, θ = 52.41°

Explanation:

As given ,

mass of bullet, m₁= 50g = 0.05 kg

speed of bullet , u₁ = 600 m/s

mass of the block , m₂ = 4 kg

speed of the block before collision , u₂ = 12 m/s

direction , θ = 30°

Now,

Assume that the combined velocity of bullet and block after collision = v

and the direction = θ

Now, from the conservation of momentum in x - direction :

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = ( m₁ + m₂ ) vₓ

where v = final velocity after collision

u₁ = initial velocity of bullet before collision = 0

m₁ = mass of the bullet before collision = 0.05 kg

u₂  = velocity of block before collision = 12 cos(30° )

m₂ = mass of block before collision

m₁ + m₂ = combined mass of bullet and block after collision = 0.05 + 4

∴ we get

0.05 (0) + 4(12 cos(30° ) ) = ( 0.05 + 4 ) vₓ

⇒ 0 + 4(6√3) = 4.05 vₓ

⇒24√3 = 4.05 vₓ

⇒vₓ = 10.26 m/s

Now, from the conservation of momentum in y - direction :

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = ( m₁ + m₂ ) v_{y}

where v = final velocity after collision

u₁= initial velocity of bullet before collision = 600

m₁ = mass of the bullet before collision = 0.05 kg

u₂  = velocity of block before collision = 12 sin(30° )

m₂= mass of block before collision

m₁+ m₂= combined mass of bullet and block after collision = 0.05 + 4

∴ we get

0.05 (600) + 4(12 sin(30° ) ) = ( 0.05 + 4 ) v_{y}

⇒ 30 + 4(6) = 4.05 v_{y}

⇒30 +24 = 4.05 v_{y}

⇒54 = 4.05 v_{y}

⇒v_{y} = 13.33 m/s

Now, the magnitude of the velocity = √vₓ² + v_{y}² = √(10.26)² + (13.33)²

                                                           = √105.26 + 177.68

                                                           = √282.95 = 16.82

The angular direction, θ =  tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x} }) =  tan^{-1}(\frac{13.33}{10.26}) = tan^{-1}(1.299) = 52.41°
