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

First,

\rho=\dfrac mV

where \rho is density, m is mass, and V is volume. We can compute the volume of the roll:

2.7\,\dfrac{\mathrm g}{\mathrm{cm}^3}=\dfrac{1275\,\mathrm g}V

\implies V\approx472.22\,\mathrm{cm}^3\approx4.72\,\mathrm m^3

When the roll is unfurled, the aluminum will be a rectangular box (a very thin one), so its volume will be the product of the given area and its thickness x. Note that we're assuming the given area is not the actual total surface area of the aluminum box, but just the area of the largest face (i.e. the area of one side of the unrolled sheet of aluminum).

So we have

V=Ax

where A is the given area, so

4.72\,\mathrm m^3=\left(18.5\,\mathrm m^2\right)x

\implies x\approx0.255\,\mathrm m=255\,\mathrm{mm}

If we're taking significant digits into account, the volume we found would have been V=470\,\mathrm m^3, in turn making the thickness x=250\,\mathrm{mm}.

A person climbs out of swimming pool and stands in the open air.Explain why evaporation of water from the surface of the persons
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The person feels cool at first because the swimming pool water is usually cool and he/she has that water on his body. But when it evaporates, the cool air directly touches his body and that's why he/she feels cold.

A length of copper wire carries a current of 14 A, uniformly distributed through its cross section. The wire diameter is 2.5 mm,
gavmur [86]

Answer:

a. ρ_\beta=1.996J/m^3

b. U_E=9.445x10^{-15} J/m^3

Explanation:

a. To find the density of magnetic field given use the gauss law and the equation:

i=14A, d=2.5mm, R=3.3Ω, l=1 km, E_o=8.85x10^{-12}F/m, u_o=4*x10^{-7}H/m

ρ_\beta=\frac{\beta^2}{2*u_o}

ρ_\beta=\frac{1}{2*u_o}*(\frac{u_o*i^2}{2\pi *r})^2

ρ_\beta=\frac{u_o*i^2}{8\pi*r}=\frac{4\pi *10^{-7}H/m*(14A)^2}{8\pi*(1.25x10^{-3}m)^2}

ρ_\beta=1.996J/m^3

b. The electric field can be find using the equation:

U_E=\frac{1}{2}*E_o*E^2

E=(\frac{i*R}{l})^2

U_E=\frac{1}{2}*8.85x10^{-12}*(\frac{14A*3.3}{1000m})^2

U_E=9.445x10^{-15} J/m^3

What is one way the biosphere can affect the geosphere
erica [24]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Biosphere breaks down rock of the geosphere (plant roots), but when it comes to soil, minerals of the geosphere feed the plants. Biosphere and atmosphere interact through animal and plant respiration of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Geosphere creates, destroys and keeps various biosphere places safe.
