If you fire a gun horizontally, and at the same time drop a bullet/slug from the same height, what will happen?

Answer:

There you have it. The y-component of air resistance for the fired bullet still depends on the fired speed of the bullet (since it is proportional to v2). A fired bullet (with air resistance) does not hit the ground at the same time as a dropped bullet.

A major strike-slip earthquake on the San Andreas fault in California will cause a catastrophic tsunami affecting residents of S

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

a) true

Explanation:

The san andres is a transform fault that forms boundary between the Pacific and the North Atlantic plate and this slip strike is characterized by the latex motion the fault runs in the length of the California state.

This plate is widely estimated for the high magnitude of earthquakes and varies from 7.7 to 8.3 magnitude. They are capable of producing a deadly tsunami that can devastate the pacific northwest.

Two 51 g blocks are held 30 cm above a table. As shown in the figure, one of them is just touching a 30-long spring. The blocks

vivado [14]

The concept of this question can be well understood by listing out the parameters given.

The mass of the block = 51 g = 51 × 10⁻³ kg
The distance of the block from the table = 30 cm
Length of the spring = 30 cm

The purpose is to determine the spring constant.

Let us assume that the two blocks are Block A and Block B.

At point A on block A, the initial velocity on the block is zero

i.e. u = 0

We want to determine the time it requires for Block A to reach the table. The can be achieved by using the second equation of motion which can be expressed by using the formula.

$\mathsf{S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2}$

From the above formula,

The distance (S) = 30 cm; we need to convert the unit to meter (m).

Since 1 cm = 0.01 m
Then, 30cm = 0.3 m

The acceleration (g) due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

∴

inputting the values into the equation above, we have;

$\mathsf{0.3 = (0)t + \dfrac{1}{2}*(9.80)*(t^2)}$

$\mathsf{0.3 = \dfrac{1}{2}*(9.80)*(t^2)}$

$\mathsf{0.3 =4.9*(t^2)}$

By dividing both sides by 4.9, we have:

$\mathsf{t^2 = \dfrac{0.3}{4.9}}$

$\mathsf{t^2 = 0.0612}$

$\mathsf{t = \sqrt{0.0612}}$

$\mathsf{t =0.247 \ seconds}$

However, block B comes to an instantaneous rest on point C. This is achieved by the dropping of the block on the spring. During this process, the spring is compressed and it bounces back to oscillate in that manner. The required time needed to get to this point C is half the period, this will eventually lead to the bouncing back of the block with another half of the period, thereby completing a movement of one period.

By applying the equation of the time period of a simple harmonic motion.

$\mathsf{T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}}$

where the relation between time (t) and period (T) is:

$\mathsf{t = \dfrac{T}{2}}$

T = 2t

T = 2(0.247)

T = 0.494 seconds

$\mathsf{T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}}$

By making the spring constant k the subject of the formula:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{T}{2 \pi } = \sqrt{ \dfrac{m}{k}}}$

$\Big(\dfrac{T}{2 \pi }\Big)^2 = { \dfrac{m}{k}$

$\dfrac{T^2}{(2 \pi)^2 }= { \dfrac{m}{k}$

$\mathsf{ T^2 *k = 2 \pi^2*m} \\ \\ \mathsf{ k = \dfrac{2 \pi^2*m}{T^2}}$

$\mathsf{ k =\Big( \dfrac{(2 \pi)^2*(51 \times 10^{-3})}{(0.494)^2} \Big) N/m}$

$\mathbf{ k =8.25 \ N/m}$

Therefore, we conclude that the spring constant as a result of instantaneous rest caused by the compression of the spring is 8.25 N/m.

A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 11 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed

shusha [124]

Answer:

- 3.72 Ns.

9.44 m/s

Explanation:

mass of racket, M = 1000 g = 1 kg

mass of ball, m = 60 g = 0.06 kg

initial velocity of racket, U = 11 m/s

initial velocity of ball, u = 18 m/s

final velocity of ball, v = - 44 m/s

Let the final velocity of the racket is V.

(a) Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity of the ball.

initial momentum of the ball = m x u = 0.06 x 18 = 1.08 Ns

Final momentum of the ball = m x v = 0.06 x (- 44) = - 2.64 Ns

Change in momentum of the ball = final momentum - initial momentum

= - 2.64 - 1.08 = - 3.72 Ns

Thus, the change in momentum of the ball is - 3.72 Ns.

(b) By use of conservation of momentum

initial momentum of racket and ball = final momentum of racket and ball

1 x 11 + 0.06 x 18 = 1 x V - 0.06 x 44

12.08 = V - 2.64

V = 9.44 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the racket afetr the impact is 9.44 m/s .

crimeas [40]

Answer:

The emission spectrum is always the same and can be used to identify the element and part of the Bohr model proposed that electrons in the hydrogen are located in particular orbits around the nucleos are True.

Explanation:

The Niels Bohr and quantic mecanic theorys are both based on the study of atomics spectrums. The atomic spectrum is a characteristic pattern of a light wavelenght emited wich is unique to each element.

<u>For example</u>, if we put some low pressure hydrogen in a glass tube and in the tp of the glass we apply a voltage big enough to produce a electric current in the hydrogen gas, the tube its going to emit light wich have a color dependig of the gas element in the interior. If we observe this light with a spectrometer we are going to see shining lines and each one of this lines have a wavelenght and diferent colors. This lines are called emission spectrum and the wavelength of that spectrum are unique to eache element.

<u>Summering up, </u>we can identify elements using the emission spectrum because any element produces the same spectrum than other element.

According to Niels Bhor theory the electron only can be in especific discret ratios to the nucleus. Where this electron moves himself in circukar orbits under the influence of the Coulomb attraction force.
