William Tell shoots an apple from his son's head. The speed of the 102-g arrow just before it strikes the apple is 26.7 m/s, and

at the time of impact it is traveling horizontally. If the arrow sticks in the apple and the arrow/apple combination strikes the ground 6.90 m behind the son's feet, how massive was the apple? Assume the son is 1.85 m tall.

To develop the problem, we require the values concerning the conservation of momentum, specifically as given for collisions.

By definition the conservation of momentum tells us that, $m_1V_1+m_2V_2 = (m1+m2)V_f$

To find the speed at which the arrow impacts the apple we turn to the equation of time, in which,

$t= \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

The linear velocity of an object is given by

$V=\frac{X}{t}$

Replacing the equation of time we have to,

$V_f = \frac{X}{t}\\V_f =\frac{X}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}\\V_f = \frac{6.9}{\sqrt{\frac{2(1.85)}{9.8}}}\\V_f = 11.23m/s$

Velocity two is neglected since there is no velocity of said target before the collision, thus,

$m_1V_1 = (m1+m2)V_f$

Clearing for m_2

$m_2 = \frac{m_1V_1}{V_f}-m_1\\m_2 = \frac{(0.102)(26.7)}{11.23}-0.102\\m_2 = 0.1405KG= 140.5g$

In 1976, the SR-71A, flying at 20 km altitude (T = –56 0C), set the official jet-powered aircraft speed record of 3530 km/hr (21

Lapatulllka [165]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the speed of sound, the calculation of the Mach number and finally the calculation of the temperature at the front stagnation point. We will calculate the speed in international units as well as the temperature. With these values we will calculate the speed of the sound and the number of Mach. Finally we will calculate the temperature at the front stagnation point.

The altitude is,

$z = 20km$

And the velocity can be written as,

$V = 3530km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})$

$V = 980.55m/s$

From the properties of standard atmosphere at altitude z = 20km temperature is

$T = 216.66K$

$k = 1.4$

$R = 287 J/kg$

Velocity of sound at this altitude is

$a = \sqrt{kRT}$

$a = \sqrt{(1.4)(287)(216.66)}$

$a = 295.049m/s$

Then the Mach number

$Ma = \frac{V}{a}$

$Ma = \frac{980.55}{296.049}$

$Ma = 3.312$

So front stagnation temperature

$T_0 = T(1+\frac{k-1}{2}Ma^2)$

$T_0 = (216.66)(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}*3.312^2)$

$T_0 = 689.87K$

Therefore the temperature at its front stagnation point is 689.87K

A penny is dropped off the top of the Stratosphere from rest and falls freely with the

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

S = 122.5m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Time, t = 5 seconds

Since it's a free fall, initial velocity, u = 0

To find the displacement, we would use the second equation of motion given by the formula;

$S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}$

Where;

S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.

u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.

t represents the time measured in seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$S = 0*5 + \frac {1}{2}*(9.8)*5^{2}$

$S = 0 + 4.9*25$

S = 122.5m.

A 10-cm-long wire is pulled along a u-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. the total resistance of the wire

Debora [2.8K]

In the above case we can say that power given by external agent to pull the rod must be equal to the power dissipated in the form of heat due to magnetic induction.

Part a)

when we pull the rod with constant speed then power required will be product of force and velocity

here we will have

$P = F.v$

P = 4 W

v = 4 m/s

now we will have

$4 = F*4$

$F = 1N$

So external force required will be 1 N

PART B)

now in order to find magnetic field strength we can say

$P = \frac{v^2B^2L^2}{R}$

here we know that induced EMF in the wire is E = vBL

so power due to induced magnetic field is given by

$P = \frac{E^2}{R}$

$4 = \frac{4^2*B^2*0.10^2}{0.20}$

by solving above equation we will have

$B = 2.24 T$

What is the initial position

labwork [276]

Answer:

Initial position of a body is the position of the body before accelerating or increasing its velocity the position changes and then that position is the final position.
