A hunter aims at a deer which is 40 yards away. Her cross- bow is at a height of 5ft, and she aims for a spot on the deer 4ft ab

ove the ground. The crossbow fires her arrows at 300ft/s. (a) At what angle of elevation should she hold the cross- bow to hit her target? (b) If the deer is moving perpendicularly to her line of sight at a rate of 20mph, by approximately how much should she lead the deer in order to hit it in the de- sired location?

Answer:

a)  θ₁ = 0.487º , b)   t = 0.400 s ,        x = 11.73 ft

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the projectile launch relationships.

The initial height is I = 5 ft and the final height y = 4 ft

            y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

The distance to the band is x = 40 yard (3 ft / 1 yard) = 120 ft

            x = v₀ₓ t

            t = x / v₀ₓ

We replace

             y –y₀ = v_{oy} x / v₀ₓ - ½ g x² / v₀ₓ²

             v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

             v₀ₓ = vo cos θ

             

             y –y₀ = x tan θ - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² θ

                5-4 = 120 tan θ - ½ 32 120 / (300 2 cos2 θ)

                1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 sec² θ

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

               Sec² θ = 1 - tan² θ

                 1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 (1 –tan²θ)

                 0.0213 tan²θ + 120 tanθ -1.0213 = 0

                 

We change variables

          u = tan θ

          u² + 5633.8 u - 48.03 = 0

We solve the second degree equation

          u = [-5633.8 ±√(5633.8 2 + 4 48.03)] / 2

          u = [- 5633.8 ± 5633.82] / 2

           u₁ = 0.0085

           u₂= -5633.81

           u = tan θ

           θ = tan⁻¹ u

For u₁

           θ₁ = tan⁻¹ 0.0085

           θ₁ = 0.487º

For u₂

           θ₂ = -89.99º

The launch angle must be 0.487º

b) let's look for the time it takes for the arrow to arrive

         x = v₀ₓ t

         t = x / v₀ cos θ

         

         t = 120 / (300 cos 0.487)

         t = 0.400 s

The deer must be at a distance of

           v = 20 mph (5280 ft / 1 mi) (1 h / 3600s) = 29.33 ft / s

           x = v t

           x = 29.33 0.4

           x = 11.73 ft

What is the difference between a bound orbit and an unbound orbit around the sun?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The difference between a bound orbit and an unbound orbit around the sun is that:

An object on a bound orbit pursues the same way around the Sun again and again, while an object on an unbound orbit moves toward the Sun only a single time and afterward stays away forever &  never returns.

Which can be observed both on Earth and in an accelerating ship in space that is free from the effect of any gravitational field
Reil [10]

Answer:

  • apples falling from trees
  • people's feet touching the ground
  • sky divers moving toward the ground  
  • balls bending downward after being thrown​

Explanation:

When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.

This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.
