Answer:

Therefore the horizontal range = 294897.96 m.

Explanation:

Range of a projectile: The range is defined as the horizontal distance from the point of projection to the point where the projectile hit the projection plane again. The S.I unit of range is Meter (m).

It can be expressed mathematically as

R = u²sin2∅/g............................. Equation 1

Where R = Horizontal range, ∅ = angle of projection, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity.

<em>Given: u = 1700 m/s, </em>∅ = 55°,

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 1

R = (1700²sin55)/9.8

R = 2890000/9.8

R = 294897.96 m.

Therefore the horizontal range = 294897.96 m.

An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. The spring constant is k = 125 N/m. A block of mass m = 650 g (1000 g = 1 k

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

0.102 m

Explanation:

k = spring constant of the spring = 125 N/m

m = mass of the block attached to the spring = 650 g = 0.650 kg

x = maximum extension of the spring

h = height dropped by the block = x

Using conservation of energy

Spring potential energy gained = Gravitational potential energy lost

(0.5) k x² = mgh

(0.5) k x² = mgx

(0.5) (125) x = (0.650) (9.8)

x = 0.102 m

An ideal monatomic gas at 275 K expands adiabatically and reversibly to six times its volume. What is its final temperature (in

Gwar [14]

The final temperature is 83 K.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For an adiabatic process,

$T {V}^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant}$

$\cfrac{{T}_{2}}{{T}_{1}} = {\left( \cfrac{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}} \right)}^{\gamma - 1}$

Given:-

${T}_{1} = 275 \; K$

${T}_{2} = T \left( \text{say} \right)$

${V}_{1} = V$

${V}_{2} = 6V$

$\gamma = \cfrac{5}{3} \;$ (the gas is monoatomic)

$\therefore \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{V}{6V} \right)}^{\frac{5}{3} - 1}$

$\Rightarrow \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{1}{6} \right)}^{\frac{2}{3}}$

T = 275 $\times$ 0.30

T = 83 K.

Which is true about carbon-12 compared with carbon-13

creativ13 [48]

E mass number of any given atom depends solely on the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The mass number of any atom can be determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons. (Mathematically this is stated as Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons). For instance, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons will have a mass number of 12AMU. However, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 8 Neutrons will have a mass number of 14AMU. They are both Carbon atoms, however they each have a different mass number. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore, different mass numbers, are called isotopes. Isotopic symbols are used to indicate isotopes of the same elements. In the following isotopic symbols the lower number is the atomic number…it is the number of protons. The upper number is the mass number, it represents to sum of the protons and neutrons in the atoms nucleus.

Permanent magnet. An induced magnet would be created when a piece of iron (for example) is in contact with a magnet. Temporary magnets would be something like an electromagnet. Bar magnets are permanently magnetic unless we heat them or hammer them to cause their domains to loose alignment.

A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is $a=2,800m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

<u>Known Data</u>

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, $v_{i}=-30m/s$ , final speed has a positive direction, $v_{f}=26m/s$ , $\Delta t=20ms=0.020s$ and mass $m_{b}$ .

<u>Initial momentum</u>

$p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s$

<u>final momentum</u>

$p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s$

<u>Impulse</u>

$I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s$

<u>Average Force</u>

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}$

<u>Average acceleration</u>

$F=ma$ , so $a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}$ .

Therefore, $a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}$
