Suppose you first walk 12.0 m in a direction 20 owest of north and then 20.0 m in a direction 40.0osouth of west. How far are yo

u from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position? (If you represent the two legs of the walk as vector displacements A and B , then this problem asks you to find their sum R = A + B . The two displacements A and B add to give a total displacement R having magnitude R and direction in degrees.

Answer:

R=19.5m

\theta = 4.65° S of W

Explanation:

Refer the attached fig.

displacement  of the x and y components

x-component displacement is (R_{x}) = A_{x}+B_{x}

= A \sin(20°) + B \cos(40°)

= -12.0\sin(20°) + 20.0\cos(40°)

= -19.425m

x-component displacement is (R_{y}) = A_{y}+ B_{y}

=  A \cos(20°) - B \sin(40°)

= 12.0\cos(20°) - 20.0\sin(40°)

= -1.579

resultant displacement

∴

R = \sqrt{R_{x}^{2} +R_{y}^{2} }  }

=\sqrt{(-19.425)^{2}+(-1.579)^{2}  }

=19.5m

\theta = \tan^{-1}\left | \frac{R_{x}}{R_{y}} \right |

\theta = \tan^{-1}\left | \frac{1.579}{19.425} \right |

\theta = 4.65° S of W

The barrel of a rifle has a length of 0.855 m. A bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 553 m/s. What is the accele
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Acceleration of the bullet will be 1778835.6 m/sec^2      

Explanation:

We have given length of the barrel refile s= 0.855 m

When the bullet leaves the muzzle its velocity is 553 m/sec

So final velocity v = 553 m/sec

Initial velocity will be 0 that is u = 0 m/sec

According to third equation of motion v^2=u^2+2as

553^2=0^2+2\times a\times 0.855

a=178835.6m/sec^2
