The gun, mount, and train car of a railway had a total mass of 1.22 x 10^6 kg. The gun fired a projectile that was 80 cm in diam

eter and weighed 7502 kg. In the firing, the gun has been elevated 20 degrees above the horizontal. If the railway gun at rest before firing and moved to the right at a speed of 4.68 m/s immediately after firing, what was the speed of the projectile as it left the barrel (muzzle velocity)? How far will the projectile travel if air resistance is neglected? Assume that the wheel axles are frictionless.

1) According to the law of conservation of momentum .. 
<span>Horiz recoil mom of gun (M x v) = horiz. mon acquired by shell (m x Vh) </span>

<span>1.22^6kg x 5.0 m/s = 7502kg x Vh </span>
<span>Vh = 1.22^6 x 5 / 7502 .. .. Vh = 813 m/s </span>

<span>Barrel velocity V .. .. cos20 = Vh / V .. ..V = 813 /cos20 .. .. ►V = 865 m/s </span>

<span>2) Using the standard range equation .. R = u² sin2θ /g </span>

<span>R = 865² x sin40 / 9.80 .. .. ►R = 49077 m .. (49 km)</span>

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

F_f=840N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Weight of fireman W_f= 87.5kg

Pole distance D=4.10m

Final speed is V_f 1.75m/s

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2 a d

Therefore Acceleration a

a'= v^2 / 2 d

a'= 0.21m/s^2

Generally the equation for Frictional force F_f is mathematically given as

F_f=m*a

F_f=m*(g-0.21)

F_f=87.5*(9.81-0.21)

Therefore

F_f=840N

5. Define the terms comet, asteroid, and meteoroid.
Nimfa-mama [501]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Comet:</h2>

It is a celestial body constituted by ice, dust and rocks that orbit around the Sun, after having been altered by the Oort cloud; following different trajectories that can be highly eccentric elliptical (periodic trajectories), parabolic or hyperbolic.

One of the main characteristics of a comet is that it travels quite fast, on its way around the Sun and has a long tail, which always go in the opposite direction to the Sun (due to the radiation pressure of sunlight).

<h2>Asteroid: </h2>

It is a small rocky body (smaller than a planet and larger than a meteoroid). Most of these bodies are orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the region known as the asteroid belt; while others accumulate at Jupiter's Lagrange points, and others cross the orbits of the planets.

<h2>Meteoroid: </h2>

It is a fragment of the celestial body that moves through space, which is smaller in size to an asteroid. If it gets to enter the atmosphere of the Earth, it will start to burn by friction with it (combustion) and it will be called a meteor, while if it hits the surface, it will be called a meteorite.

Suppose you are myopic (nearsighted). You can clearly focus on objects that are as far away as 52.5 cm away. You can clearly foc
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Image of distant object will be made at far point or at 52.5 so

object distance u = infinity

image distance v = - 52.5 cm

focal length required = f

Lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 /  - 52.5 - 0 = 1 / f

f =  -52.5 cm

= -.525 m

Power P = 1 / f = -  1 / .525

= -  1.90

now , for eye with glass we shall find new near point .

v = ?

u = - 17.2 cm

f = -  52.5 cm

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

  1 / v + 1 / 17.2 = -  1 / 52.5

1 / v  = - 1 / 17.2 -    1 / 52.5

= - .05813 -  .019

= - .07713

u = - 12.96 cm

so new near point will be 12.96 cm
