A person shooting at a target from a distance of 450 metres finds that the sound of the bullet hitting the target comes 1 / 2 se

conds after he fired. A person equidistant from the target and shooting point hears the bullet hit 3 seconds after he heard the gun. The speed of sound is ___.

Answer:

1350 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of bullet

Distance traveled by the bullet = 450 m

Distance traveled by sound = 450 m

Using S= V × t

==> t= S/V

So, time for bullet t1=450/vb

time for sound t2=450/vs

Because it takes 1/2 sec from firing to hearing of sound by the shooter

==>  t1+t2= 1/2 sec

==> 450/vb+450/vs=0.5sec  ---- (1)

Now a person at distance 'x' each from gun and target takes 3 sec to hear sound from firing to hitting the target.

Fire sound duration

Distance =x m

Speed of sound = V

time =T1

==> T1 = x/vs

Bullet hitting + target sound  duration

During this duration bullet travels a distance of 450 m and sound of hitting travels a distance 'x'

time taken by sound = 450/vb

time taken by sound to travel distance 'x'= x/vs

so let T2= 450/vb + x/vs

But all this happens in 3 sec i-e T = 3 sec

and because firing occurs before hitting the target so he hears strike sound in time T = T2-T1= 450/vb + x/vs -x/vs

But T= 3sec

==> 3= 450/vb

==> vb= 1350 m/s

From eq 1 and 2

again using same relation as above, i-e within 3 seconds he watches bullet traveling a distance of 450 m and hearing sound

Answer:

The x-component of F_{3} is 56.148 newtons.

Explanation:

From 1st and 2nd Newton's Law we know that a system is at rest when net acceleration is zero. Then, the vectorial sum of the three forces must be equal to zero. That is:

\vec F_{1} + \vec F_{2} + \vec F_{3} = \vec O (1)

Where:

\vec F_{1}, \vec F_{2}, \vec F_{3} - External forces exerted on the ring, measured in newtons.

\vec O - Vector zero, measured in newtons.

If we know that \vec F_{1} = (70.711,70.711)\,[N], \vec F_{2} = (-126.859, 46.173)\,[N], F_{3} = (F_{3,x},F_{3,y}) and \vec O = (0,0)\,[N], then we construct the following system of linear equations:

\Sigma F_{x} = 70.711\,N - 126.859\,N +F_{3,x} = 0\,N (2)

\Sigma F_{y} = 70.711\,N + 46.173\,N+F_{3,y} = 0\,N (3)

The solution of this system is:

F_{3,x} = 56.148\,N, F_{3,y} = -116.884\,N

The x-component of F_{3} is 56.148 newtons.

Leni [432]

Answer:

True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero

Explanation:

In order to analyze the statements of this problem we propose your solution.

First let's look at Newton's first, which stable that every object is at rest or with constant speed unless something takes it out of this state (acceleration)

Now let's look at the second postulate, which says that force is related to the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration.

As a result of these two laws, for a body is a constant velocity the summation force on it must be zero.

Now we can analyze the statements given.

True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero

False. If the force is different from zero, there is acceleration that changes the speeds

False. There may be forces, but the sum of them must be zero

False. If a force acts, the acceleration is different from zero and the speed changes
