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}

Consider a space shuttle which has a mass of about 1.0 x 105 kg and circles the Earth at an altitude of about 200.0 km. Calculat
svetlana [45]

Answer:

1.6675×10^-16N

Explanation:

The force of gravity that the space shuttle experiences is expressed as;

g = GM/r²

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass = 1.0 x 10^5 kg

r is the altitude = 200km = 200,000m

Substitute into the formula

g = 6.67×10^-11 × 1.0×10^5/(2×10^5)²

g = 6.67×10^-6/4×10^10

g = 1.6675×10^{-6-10}

g = 1.6675×10^-16N

Hence the force of gravity experienced by the shuttle is 1.6675×10^-16N

What is a difference between physical traits and personality traits?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

A physical trait is visible to the naked eye, such as, having six fingers; and a character trait is invisible to the naked eye, such as, being charming. Both can be subjective, for instance, claiming somebody has a big nose is a subjective comment about somebody's physical appearance.

The path of the sun on the celestial sphere is called.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Ecliptic

Explanation:

The path the sun, moon, and planets take across the sky as seen from Earth. It defines the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun. The name "Ecliptic" comes from the fact that eclipses take place along this line.
