how do you define two angles which will result in a range of zero for a projectile launched at an angle to the horizontal

Oh what a sneaky problem ! 

The "range" of a projectile is how far out away from the gun it goes
before it falls to the ground.

The question is asking you:  "What angle should you aim the gun
above the horizon so that the bullet doesn't go <em>any</em> distance away
from the gun, and it hits the ground exactly where the gun is "
And there are two different answers.  Really sneaky !

Can you think of how you could fire the gun so that the bullet would
hit the ground right under the gun ?  How about pointing the gun at
the ground ... aiming 90 degrees <em>below</em> the horizon ?  That would
certainly do it.                Is there another way to do it  ?

How about aiming the gun straight up in the air ... 90 degrees <em>above</em>
the horizon ?  Then it goes up, up, up, runs out of steam, stops rising,
starts falling, comes down, down, down, and hits the ground right where
the gun was.

As long as there's no air and no wind, the two angles are +90 degrees
and -90 degrees above the horizon. 

' +90 above ' means straight up.  ' -90 above ' means straight down.

There are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram. if a boys mass is 40kg, what is his height in pounds?
sasho [114]
The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this- 

\frac{1}{2.2} = \frac{40}{x}

Solve for x by using cross multiplication.

40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88

Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.

A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of magnitude 20.0 cm. (a) Find the location of the image for object distanc
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The radius of curvature of the mirror R = 20 cm

then the focal length f = R/2 = 10 cm

(a) From mirror formula

 1/f = 1/di + /1do

then the image distance

    di = fd_o / d_o - f

  = (10)(40) / 40-10

 = 30.76 cm

since the image distance is positive so the image is real

ii) when the object distance d_0=20 cm

 di = 10×20/ 20-10

= 20

Hence, the image must be  real

iii)when the object distance d_0 = 10

di = 10×10 / 10-10 =  ∞ (infinite)

the image will be formed at ∞

here also image will be real but diminished.

The bird is held in level flight due to the force exerted on it by the air as the bird beats its wings. What is the maximum valu
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

 maximumforce is F = mg

Explanation:

For this case we must use Newton's second law,

     Σ F = m a

bold indicate vectors, so we will write it in its components x and y

 X axis

       Fₓ = maₓ

 Axis y

      Fy - W = m aa_{y}

Now let's examine our case, with indicate that the bird is level, the force of the wings can have a measured angle with respect to the x axis, where the vertical component is responsible for the lift, let's use trigonometry to find the components

      Cos θ = Fₓ / F

      Fₓ = F cos θ

      sin θ = Fy / F

      Fy = F sin θ

Let's replace and calculate

      F sin θ -w = m a

 

As the bird indicates that leveling at the same height, so the vertical acceleration is zero (ay = 0)

       F sin θ = w = mg

The maximum value of this equation occurs when the sin=1, in this case

      F = mg
