Answer:

C. 6.14 m

Explanation:

The maximum horizontal distance travelled by a projectile is given by:

$d=\frac{v^2}{g}sin (2\theta)$

where

v is the initial velocity

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$\theta$ is the angle of launch

From the equation, we see that the maximum range is achieved when the projectile is fired at $\theta=45^{\circ}$ .

The dart in the problem has an initial velocity of

v = 7.76 m/s

Substituting into the formula, we find the maximum horizontal distance:

$d=\frac{7.76^2}{9.8}sin (2\cdot 45^{\circ}) = 6.14 m$

Answer:1.084

Explanation:

Given

mass of Pendulum M=10 kg

mass of bullet m=5.5 gm

velocity of bullet u

After collision let say velocity is v

conserving momentum we get

$mu=(M+m)v$

$v=\frac{m}{M+m}\times u$

Conserving Energy for Pendulum

Kinetic Energy=Potential Energy

$\frac{(M+m)v^2}{2}=(M+m)gh$

here $h=L(1-\cos \theta )$ from diagram

therefore

$v=\sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}$

initial velocity in terms of v

$u=\frac{M+m}{m}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}$

For first case $\theta =6.8^{\circ}$

$u_1=\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}$

for second case $\theta =11.4^{\circ}$

$u_2=\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}$

Therefore $\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}}{\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}}$

$\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{1819.181\times 0.0838}{1001\times 0.1404}$

$\frac{u_1}{u_2}=1.084$

i.e. $\frac{v_1}{v_2}=1.084$

Answer:

d = (75 i ^ + 93 j ^ + 27 k ^) m , d2 = (900 i ^ + 1116 j ^ + 324 k ^) m

Explanation:

The two objects are in circular orbit together, therefore with the same angular velocity, after the launch they move with the relative velocity, so we can use the kinematic relation

v = d / t

d = v t

Reduce time to units SI

t = 5 min (60 s / 1 min) = 300 s

X axis

x = vₓ t

x = 0.25 300

x = 75 m

Y axis

y = $v_{y}$ t

y = 0.31 300

y = 93 m

Z axis

z= $v_{z}$ t

z = 0.09 300

z = 27 m

d = (75 i ^ + 93 j ^ + 27 k ^) m

For the time of 1 h

t2 = 1 h (3600s / 1 h) = 3600

x2 = 900 m

y2 = 1116 m

z2 = 324 m

d2 = (900 i ^ + 1116 j ^ + 324 k ^) m
