Answer:

121.7 m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal range, R = 1420 m

Angle of projection, θ = 35°

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

let u be the velocity of projection.

Use the formula for horizontal range

R=\frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

1420=\frac{u^{2}Sin70 }{9.8}

u = 121.7 m/s

Thus, the velocity of projection is 121.7 m/s.

Answer:

v_{o}=141.51m/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the final x distance, the angle which the projectile is being released and acceleration of gravity

x=1420m\\g=-9.8m/s^{2}

From the equation of x-position we know that

x=v_{ox}t=v_{o}cos(35)t

Solving for v_{o}

v_{o}=\frac{x}{tcos(35)} =\frac{1420m}{tcos(35)} (1)

Now, if we analyze the equation of y-position we got

y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

At the end of the motion y=0

0=v_{o}sin(35)t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Knowing the equation for v_{o} in (1)

0=\frac{1420}{tcos(35)}tsin(35)-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}=1420tan(35)

Solving for t

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1420tan(35))}{9.8} } =14.25s

Now, we can solve (1)

v_{o}=\frac{1420m}{(14.25s)cos(35)}=141.51m/s

A guyot is ________. A. any portion of the ocean floor that is topographically higher than surrounding sea floor B. an extinct o
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

c.an extinct oceanic hot-spot volcano that has subsided below sea level

Explanation:

- Marine geology defines a guyot as an isolated underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top more than 200m below the surface of the sea.

-The flat top is due to years of wave erosion.

-Guyots can form a chain of seamounts as the ocean plate of the Earth's crust moves slowly over a hot spot that remains stationary beneath the plate.

What mediums are best for light waves?
ycow [4]
The strength of the electric and magnetic fields there is no physical "distance" of oscillation here. nothing is actually moving up and down if you draw light as a sinusoidal wave, the up and down motion is the strength of the EM fields cheers

Can anyone solve these for my by using unit vectors? Can you also please show your work
Oxana [17]

4. The Coyote has an initial position vector of \vec r_0=(15.5\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\jmath.

4a. The Coyote has an initial velocity vector of \vec v_0=\left(3.5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\,\vec\imath. His position at time t is given by the vector

\vec r=\vec r_0+\vec v_0t+\dfrac12\vec at^2

where \vec a is the Coyote's acceleration vector at time t. He experiences acceleration only in the downward direction because of gravity, and in particular \vec a=-g\,\vec\jmath where g=9.80\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}. Splitting up the position vector into components, we have \vec r=r_x\,\vec\imath+r_y\,\vec\jmath with

r_x=\left(3.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t

r_y=15.5\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2

The Coyote hits the ground when r_y=0:

15.5\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=1.8\,\mathrm s

4b. Here we evaluate r_x at the time found in (4a).

r_x=\left(3.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(1.8\,\mathrm s)=6.3\,\mathrm m

5. The shell has initial position vector \vec r_0=(1.52\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\jmath, and we're told that after some time the bullet (now separated from the shell) has a position of \vec r=(3500\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\imath.

5a. The vertical component of the shell's position vector is

r_y=1.52\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2

We find the shell hits the ground at

1.52\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=0.56\,\mathrm s

5b. The horizontal component of the bullet's position vector is

r_x=v_0t

where v_0 is the muzzle velocity of the bullet. It traveled 3500 m in the time it took the shell to fall to the ground, so we can solve for v_0:

3500\,\mathrm m=v_0(0.56\,\mathrm s)\implies v_0=6300\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}
