A) Horizontal range: 16.34 m

B) Horizontal range: 16.38 m

C) Horizontal range: 16.34 m

D) Horizontal range: 16.07 m

E) The angle that gives the maximum range is 41.9^{\circ}

Explanation:

A)

The motion of the shot is a projectile motion, so we can analyze separately its vertical motion and its horizontal motion.

The vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation to find the time of flight:

s=u_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 (1)

where

s = -1.80 m is the vertical displacement of the shot to reach the ground (negative = downward)

u_y = u sin \theta is the initial vertical velocity, where

u = 12.0 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=40.0^{\circ} is the angle of projection

So

u_y=(12.0)(sin 40.0^{\circ})=7.7 m/s

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity (downward)

Substituting the numbers, we get

-1.80 = 7.7t -4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-7.7t-1.80=0

which has two solutions:

t = -0.21 s (negative, we ignore it)

t = 1.778 s (this is the time of flight)

The horizontal motion is instead uniform, so the horizontal range is given by

d=u_x t

where

u_x = u cos \theta=(12.0)(cos 40^{\circ})=9.19 m/s is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.778 s is the time of flight

Solving, we find

d=(9.19)(1.778)=16.34 m

B)

In this second case,

\theta=42.5^{\circ}

So the vertical velocity is

u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 42.5^{\circ})=8.1 m/s

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

4.9t^2-8.1t-1.80=0

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.851 s

The horizontal velocity is

u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 42.5^{\circ})=8.85 m/s

So, the range of the shot is

d=u_x t = (8.85)(1.851)=16.38 m

C)

In this third case,

\theta=45^{\circ}

So the vertical velocity is

u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 45^{\circ})=8.5 m/s

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

4.9t^2-8.5t-1.80=0

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.925 s

The horizontal velocity is

u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 45^{\circ})=8.49 m/s

So, the range of the shot is

d=u_x t = (8.49)(1.925)=16.34 m

D)

In this 4th case,

\theta=47.5^{\circ}

So the vertical velocity is

u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 47.5^{\circ})=8.8 m/s

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

4.9t^2-8.8t-1.80=0

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.981 s

The horizontal velocity is

u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 47.5^{\circ})=8.11 m/s

So, the range of the shot is

d=u_x t = (8.11)(1.981)=16.07 m

E)

From the previous parts, we see that the maximum range is obtained when the angle of releases is \theta=42.5^{\circ}.

The actual angle of release which corresponds to the maximum range can be obtained as follows:

The equation for the vertical motion can be rewritten as

s-u sin \theta t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2=0

The solutions of this quadratic equation are

t=\frac{u sin \theta \pm \sqrt{u^2 sin^2 \theta+2gs}}{-g}

This is the time of flight: so, the horizontal range is

d=u_x t = u cos \theta (\frac{u sin \theta \pm \sqrt{u^2 sin^2 \theta+2gs}}{-g})=\\=\frac{u^2}{-2g}(1+\sqrt{1+\frac{2gs}{u^2 sin^2 \theta}})sin 2\theta

It can be found that the maximum of this function is obtained when the angle is

\theta=cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2gs+u^2}{2gs+2u^2}})

Therefore in this problem, the angle which leads to the maximum range is

\theta=cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2(-9.8)(-1.80)+(12.0)^2}{2(-9.8)(-1.80)+2(12.0)^2}})=41.9^{\circ}

A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 g and initial horizontal velocity 280 m/s strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992 kg
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

0.4113772 s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of bullet (m1) = 8g = 0.008kg

Initial horizontal Velocity (u1) = 280m/s

Mass of block (m2) = 0.992kg

Maxumum distance (x) = 15cm = 0.15m

Recall;

Period (T) = 2π√(m/k)

According to the law of conservation of momentum : (inelastic Collison)

m1 * u1 = (m1 + m2) * v

Where v is the final Velocity of the colliding bodies

0.008 * 280 = (0.008 + 0.992) * v

2.24 = 1 * v

v = 2.24m/s

K. E = P. E

K. E = 0.5mv^2

P.E = 0.5kx^2

0.5(0.992 + 0.008)*2.24^2 = 0.5*k*(0.15)^2

0.5*1*5.0176 = 0.5*k*0.0225

2.5088 = 0.01125k

k = 2.5088 / 0.01125

k = 223.00444 N/m

Therefore,

Period (T) = 2π√(m/k)

T = 2π√(0.992+0.008) / 233.0444

T = 2π√0.0042910

T = 2π * 0.0655059

T = 0.4113772 s

Suppose someone pours 0.250 kg of 20.0ºC water (about a cup) into a 0.500-kg aluminum pan with a temperature of 150ºC. Assume th
Troyanec [42]

Answer : The temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, 59.10^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of aluminium = 0.90J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of aluminum = 0.500 kg = 500 g

m_2 = mass of water = 0.250 kg  = 250 g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of aluminum = 150^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

500g\times 0.90J/g^oC\times (T_f-150)^oC=-250g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-20)^oC

T_f=59.10^oC

Therefore, the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, 59.10^oC
