During World War I, the Germans had a gun called Big Bertha that was used to shell Paris. The shell had an initial speed of 1.4

km/s at an initial inclination of 65.8 ◦ to the horizontal. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How far away did the shell hit?

Answer:

The shell hit at a horizontal distance 149.41 km

Explanation:

The shell had an initial speed of 1.4 km/s

Initial speed = 1400 m/s

Inclination = 65.8° to the horizontal

First let us find the time of travel

Consider the vertical motion,

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 1400 sin 65.8 = 1276.97 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = 0 m

Substituting

                 s = ut + 0.5 at²          

                 0 = 1276.97 x t + 0.5 x  (-9.81) xt²

                  t = 260.34 s

Now let us find the horizontal displacement,

Consider the horizontal motion,

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 1400 cos 65.8 = 573.89 m/s

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Time, t = 260.34 s

Substituting

                 s = ut + 0.5 at²          

                 s = 573.89 x 260.34 + 0.5 x  0 x 260.34²

                  s = 149407.11 m = 149.41 km

The shell hit at a horizontal distance 149.41 km

A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 13.0 m/s.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

a) Knowns, initial speed v_{i}=13.0 m/s, final speed v_{f}=0 m/s and gravity due it is a constant g=9.8m/s^{2}

b) The maximum high reached by the dolphin is y_{max}=8.62 m

c) Total time is t=2.65s

Explanation:

a) First of all the initial speed is given at the start of the problem, gravity is constant and final speed is known any object thrown straight up reaches its max high at 0m/s speed.

b) Second, now that we know final speed we use v_{f} =v_{i}-gt, as we clear for t=\frac{v_{i}-v_{f} }{g}=\frac{20.0m/s}{9.8m/s^{2} }=1.32 s.

Then we use y=v_{i}t-\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}=(20.0m/s)(1.32s)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8m/s^{2} ) (1.32s)^{2}  =8.62m

c)Third, finally we can use y=v_{i}t-\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}, as we know y=0m when the dolphin fall into the water again and v_{i} =13.0m/s, then we have 0=(13m/s)t-\frac{1}{2} (9.8m/s^{2}  )t^{2} is a quadratic form 0=t(13.0-4.9t) so we have t_{i}=0s and t_{f}=\frac{13}{4.90}  =2.65s

irinina [24]

Answer:

h=10m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Area a=70 x 10^{-6}

Force F=7N

Generally the equation for Pressure is mathematically given by

Pressure = Force/Area

P=\frac{F}{A}

P=\frac{ 7}{(70 * 10^{-6})}

P= 1*10^{5} Pa

Generally the equation for Pressure is also mathematically given by

P=hpg

Therefore

h=\frac{P}{hg}

h=\frac{10000}{1000*9.8}

h=10m
