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

When you have two like charges in a line â where is the electric field the greatest? is there ever a point where the field will
Vesna [10]

The magnitude of the electric field will be the greatest at the point where it is closest,to its charges.

Yes ,there is a point where the field will be zero.

what is an electric field?

The region where an electrostatic force is experienced by a charged entity is known as the electric field at a point.

As per the principle of field lines and vectors,where the field lines are in a close manner together,the field will be strongest.However ,where the field lines are in a manner apart,the field will be the weakest.

As per the concept,the electric field will be the greatest at the point where it is closest to its charges.For like charges, the electric field will be zero closer to the smaller charge and will be along the line joining the two charges. For opposite charges of equal magnitude, there will not be any zero electric fields.

Thus,we can conclude that there will be a point where the electric field is zero

A jeweler working with a heated 47 g gold ring must lower the ring's temperature to make it safe to handle. If the ring is initi
Gelneren [198K]

Mass of gold m₁ = 47 g

Initial temperature of gold T₁ = 99 C

Specific heat of gold C₁ = 0.129 J/gC

final temperature T₂ = 38 C

Heat needed by the gold to cool down

Q =m₁ * C₁* ( T₁ - T₂)

Q = (47)(0.129)(99-38)

Q = 369.843 J

This heat will be given by the water

we need to find out mass of water m₂

and initial temperature of water is T₃ = 25 C

Specific heat of water C₂ = 4.184 J/gC

Q = m₂*C₂*(T₂ - T₃)

369.843 = m₂(4.184)(38-25)

m₂ = 6.8 g

A skater has outstretched arms preparing for a turn with a moment of inertia of
Helen [10]

Answer:

The final angular speed is 16.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial moment of inertia, I₁ = 2.56 kg.m²

final moment of inertia, I₂ = 0.40 kg.m²

initial angular speed, ω₁ = 0.4 rev/s = 2.514 rad/s

Apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum;

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

where;

ω₂ is the final angular speed

ω₂ = (I₁ω₁) / (I₂)

ω₂ = (2.56 x 2.514) / (0.4)

ω₂ = 16.1 rad/s

Therefore, the final angular speed is 16.1 rad/s

18. A person pulls horizontally with a force of 64 N on a 14-kg box. There is a force of friction between the box and the floor
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
  • since force=massxacceleration
  • therefore acceleration=force/mass
  • the resultant force=the acting force on the object-the frictional force
  • the resultant force=64-36=28N
  • therefore the acceleration=28/14=2m/sec^2
