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.

If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the object's velocity is a linear function of time.

Answer:

$F=mkv$

Explanation:

Given that

$v = v_i - kx$

We know that acceleration a given as

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$v = v_i - kx$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=\dfrac{dv_i}{dt}-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=0-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

We know that

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$F=-mk\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$F=-mkv$

So the magnitude of force F

$F=mkv$

When a golfer tees off, the head of her golf club, which has a mass of 160 g, is traveling 50 m/s just before it strikes a 46 g

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

v1=21.81m/s

Explanation:

<em>When a golfer tees off, the head of her golf club, which has a mass of 160 g, is traveling 50 m/s just before it strikes a 46 g golf ball at rest on a tee. Immediately after the collision, the club head continues to travel in the same direction but at a reduced speed of 44 m/s. Neglect the mass of the club handle and determine the speed (in m/s) of the golf ball just after impact.</em>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, if the net external force on a system is zero, then the linear momentum of the system is conserved.

During collision of two particles, the external force on the system of two colliding particles is zero (only internal force acts between the colliding particles), therefore, the momentum is conserved during the collision.

Answer and Explanation:

Given :

head of the golf club=160g

velocity of the golf club=50 m/s

golf ball mass=46g

velocity=om/s

m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2.........................................1

160*50 +46*0=160*44+46*v1

8000=7040+46v1

960=46v1

v1=960/46

v1=21.81m/s

Hello.

The efficiency of a simple machine can be expressed as the ratio of the actual mechanical advantage divided by the theoretical mechanical advantage. You were given the actual mechanical advantage as 2, so you only need to determine the theoretical mechanical advantage. With a pulley system, this becomes a simple matter of determining how many strings support the pulley, which was nicely given as three. Therefore, the efficiency in this case is 2/3, or about 67%.
