The rifles in the figures are being fired horizontally (straight outward, off platforms). The bullets fired from the rifles are

all identical, but the rifles propel the bullets are different speeds. The speed of each bullet and the height of each platform are given. All the bullets miss their targets and hit the ground. Rank the time it takes the bullets to hit the ground. Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

  t = √ 2y₀ / g

if they are at the same height, all the bullets must carry the target, since when advancing the height decreases

Explanation:

In this exercise we see that the bullets are fired horizontally so the time it takes to reach the ground is

          y = y₀ + v_{oy}  t - ½ g t²

as they are fired horizontally their vertical velocity is zero and the height upon reaching the ground is zero y = 0

         0 = y₀ - ½ g t²

         t = √ 2y₀ / g

from here we can see that the time it takes for the bullets to hit the floor depends only on the initial height

Therefore, all the bullets that come out of the same height reach the ground at the same time, but at a different distance, so if one misses the target, everything must fail since reaching the target is below the initial height.

The horizontal distance traveled by the bullets is

        x = v₀ₓ t

        v₀ₓ =v₀

        x = v₀ √2y₀/g

For a more precise calculation we should know the height of the target and the bullets, but if they are at the same height, all the bullets must carry the target, since when advancing the height decreases

Two parallel plates 19 cm on a side are given equal and opposite charges of magnitude 2.0 ✕ 10^−9 C. The plates are 1.8 mm apart
Romashka [77]

Answer:

E   = 5291.00 N/C

Explanation:

Expression for capacitance is

C = \frac{\epsilon  A}{d}

where

A is area of square plate

D = DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PLATE

C = \frac{\epsilon\times(19\times 10^{-2})^2}{1.5\times 10^{-3}}

C = 24.06 \epsilon

C = 24.06\times 8.854\times 10^{-12} F

C =2.1\times 10^{-10} F

We know that capacitrnce and charge is related as

V = \frac{Q}{C}

 = \frac{2\tiimes 10^{-9}}{2.\times 10^{-10}}

v = 9.523 V

Electric field is given as

E = \frac{V}{d}

   = \frac{9.52}{1.8*10^{-3}}

E   = 5291.00 V/m

E   = 5291.00 N/C

What do tendons connect skeletal muscles to?​
Doss [256]

Answer:

Tendons connect muscle to bone. These tough, yet flexible, bands of fibrous tissue attach the skeletal muscles to the bones they move. Essentially, tendons enable you to move; think of them as intermediaries between muscles and bones.

Hope this helps! (:

If a gas has a gage pressure of 156 kPa, it is absolute pressure is approximately
Art [367]
In the given question, one important information for getting to the actual solution is not given and that is the atmospheric pressure. To find the approximate absolute pressure, it is needed to add the value of atmospheric pressure with the gage pressure.
Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa
Then
Absolute pressure = 156 + 100 kPa
                             = 256 KPa.

Equation of orbit under central force​
SOVA2 [1]

I found this on arxsiv.org: “The central force motion between two bodies about their center of mass can be reduced to an equivalent one body problem in terms of their reduced mass m and their relative radial distance r. ... The potential V (r) from which this force is derived is also a function of r alone, F = −VV, V ≡ V (r).”
