Although a zig zag pattern going up a mountain means you walk further, the incline of the slope is a lot less so you don't have to work as hard.

A bullet is fired with a velocity of 100 m/s from the ground at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. Calculate the horizontal ra
seraphim [82]

1) The horizontal range of the bullet is 884 m

2) The maximum height attained by the bullet is 383 m

Explanation:

1)

The motion of the bullet is a projectile motion, which consists of two separate motions:  

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

From the equation of motions along the x- and y- directions, it is possible to find an expression for the horizontal range covered by a projectile, and it is:

d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

where

u is the initial speed of the projectile

\theta is the angle of projection

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

For the bullet in the problem, we have

u = 100 m/s (initial speed)

\theta=60^{\circ} (angle)

Solving the equation, we find the horizontal range:

d=\frac{(100)^2sin(2\cdot 60^{\circ})}{9.8}=884 m

2)

To find the maximum height, we have to analyze the vertical motion of the bullet. We can do it by using the following suvat equation:

v_y^2 - u_y^2 = 2as

where

v_y is the vertical velocity of the bullet after having covered a vertical displacement of s

u_y is the initial vertical velocity

a =-g= is the acceleration (negative, since it points downward)

The vertical component of the initial velocity is given by

u_y = u sin\theta

Also, the maximum height s is reached when the vertical velocity becomes zero,

v_y =0

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging for s, we find the maximum height:

s=\frac{u^2 sin^2 \theta}{2g}=\frac{(100)^2(sin 60^{\circ})^2}{2(9.8)}=383 m

A single-turn current loop carrying a 4.00 A current, is in the shape of a right-angle triangle with sides of 50.0 cm, 120 cm, a
pantera1 [17]

Given that,

Current = 4 A

Sides of triangle = 50.0 cm, 120 cm and 130 cm

Magnetic field = 75.0 mT

Distance = 130 cm

We need to calculate the angle α

Using cosine law

120^2=130^2+50^2-2\times130\times50\cos\alpha

\cos\alpha=\dfrac{120^2-130^2-50^2}{2\times130\times50}

\alpha=\cos^{-1}(0.3846)

\alpha=67.38^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle β

Using cosine law

50^2=130^2+120^2-2\times130\times120\cos\beta

\cos\beta=\dfrac{50^2-130^2-120^2}{2\times130\times120}

\beta=\cos^{-1}(0.923)

\beta=22.63^{\circ}

We need to calculate the force on 130 cm side

Using formula of force

F_{130}=ILB\sin\theta

F_{130}=4\times130\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin0

F_{130}=0

We need to calculate the force on 120 cm side

Using formula of force

F_{120}=ILB\sin\beta

F_{120}=4\times120\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin22.63

F_{120}=0.1385\ N

The direction of force is out of page.

We need to calculate the force on 50 cm side

Using formula of force

F_{50}=ILB\sin\alpha

F_{50}=4\times50\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin67.38

F_{50}=0.1385\ N

The direction of force is into page.

Hence, The magnitude of the magnetic force on each of the three sides of the loop are 0 N, 0.1385 N and 0.1385 N.
