Ballistic data obtained on a firing range show that aerodynamic drag reduces the speed of a .44 magnum revolver bullet from 250

m/s to 210 m/s as it travels over a horizontal distance of 150 m. The diameter and mass of the bullet are 11.2 mm and 15.6 g, respectively. Evaluate the average drag coefficient for the bullet.

Answer:

0.363999909622

Explanation:

F = Force

m = Mass = 15.6 g

C = Drag coefficient

ρ = Density of air = 1.21 kg/m³

A = Surface area = \dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

v = Terminal velocity = v=210\ m/s

s = Displacement = 150 m

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

Force is given by

F = ma

F=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow ma=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow C=2\times m\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\times\dfrac{1}{\rho Av^2}\\\Rightarrow C=2\times15.6\times 10^{-3}\dfrac{210^2-250^2}{2\times 150}\times\dfrac{1}{1.21\times\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (11.2\times 10^{-3})^2(210)^2}\\\Rightarrow C=-0.363999909622

The drag coefficient is 0.363999909622 (ignoring negative sign)

A 5-m steel beam is lowered by means of two cables unwinding at the same speed from overhead cranes. As the beam approaches the
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) The angular acceleration of the beam is 0.5 rad/s²CW (direction clockwise due the tangential acceleration is positive)

b) The acceleration of point A is 3.25 m/s²

The acceleration of point E is 0.75 m/s²

Explanation:

a) The relative acceleration of B with respect to D is equal:

a_{B} =a_{D} +(a_{B/D} )_{n} +(a_{B/D} )_{t}

Where

aB = absolute acceleration of point B = 2.5 j (m/s²)

aD = absolute acceleration of point D = 1.5 j (m/s²)

(aB/D)n = relative acceleration of point B respect to D (normal direction BD) = 0, no angular velocity of the beam

(aB/D)t = relative acceleration of point B respect to D (tangential direction BD)

a_{B} =a_{D}  +(a_{B/D} )_{t}

2.5j=1.5j  +(a_{B/D} )_{t}\\(a_{B/D} )_{t}=j=1m/s^{2}

We have that

(aB/D)t = BDα

Where α = acceleration of the beam

BDα = 1 m/s²

Where

BD = 2

2\alpha =1\\\alpha =0.5rad/s^{2}CW

b) The acceleration of point A is:

a_{A} =a_{D}  +(a_{A/D} )_{t}

(aA/D)t = ADαj

a_{A} =a_{D}  +AD\alpha j\\a_{A}=1.5j+(3.5*0.5)j\\a_{A}=3.25jm/s^{2}

The acceleration of point E is:

(aE/D)t = -EDαj

a_{E} =a_{D}  -ED\alpha j\\a_{E}=1.5j-(1.5*0.5)j\\a_{E}=0.75jm/s^{2}

Jane and John Doppler effect
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

To summarize, <em><u>Jane's star</u></em> has a <em><u>red</u></em> light and <em><u>is traveling towards</u></em> the <em><u>Earth</u></em> while <em><u>John's star </u></em>has a <em><u>blue</u></em> light and <em><u>is traveling away</u></em> from the <em><u>Earth</u></em>. This is a <em><u>prime example</u></em> of the <em><u>Doppler Effect</u></em> in <em><u>motion</u></em>. The stars <em><u>look different </u></em>because <em><u>they are traveling in different directions.</u></em>
