Answer:

The distance is 0.53 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Target distance = 100.0 m

Speed of bullet = 300 m/s

We need to calculate the total time

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{100.0}{300}

t=0.33\ sec

Now, consider vertical motion of bullet.

Initial velocity of bullet in vertical direction = 0 m/s

We need to calculate the vertically distance

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Put the value in the equation

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(0.33)^2

s=0.53\ m

Hence, The distance is 0.53 m.

a bird flies 25.0 m in the direction 55° east of south to its nest. the bird then flies 75.0 m in the direction 55° west of nort
son4ous [18]

The northward components of the resultant displacement is 40.96 m and the westward components of the resultant displacement of the bird from its nest is 28.68 m.

<h3>Displacement of the bird</h3>

The displacement of the bird is the change in the position of the bird.

<h3>Vertical component of the bird's displacement </h3>

Vy₁ = -25 m  x   sin(55)

Vy₁ = -20.48 m

Vy₂ = 75 m   x    sin(55)

Vy₂ = 61.44 m

Total vertical displacement = 61.44 m - 20.48 m = 40.96 m

<h3>Horizontal component of the bird's displacement </h3>

Vx₁ = -25 m  x   cos(55)

Vx₁ = -14.34 m

Vx₂ = 75 m   x    cos(55)

Vx₂ = 43.02 m

Total horizontal displacement = 43.02 m - 14.34 m = 28.68 m

A passenger compartment of a rotating amusement park ride contains a bench on which a book of mass
Basile [38]

a) 120 s

b) v = 0.052R [m/s]

Explanation:

a)

The period of a revolution in a simple harmonic motion is the time taken for the object in motion to complete one cycle (in this case, the time taken to complete one revolution).

The graph of the problem is missing, find it in attachment.

To find the period of revolution of the book, we have to find the time between two consecutive points of the graph that have exactly the same shape, which correspond to two points in which the book is located at the same position.

The first point we take is t = 0, when the position of the book is x = 0.

Then, the next point with same shape is at t = 120 s, where the book returns at x = 0 m.

Therefore, the period is

T = 120 s - 0 s = 120 s

b)

The tangential speed of the book is given by the ratio between the distance covered during one revolution, which is the perimeter of the wheel, and the time taken, which is the period.

The perimeter of the wheel is:

L=2\pi R

where R is the radius of the wheel.

The period of revolution is:

T=120 s

Therefore, the tangential speed of the book is:

v=\frac{L}{T}=\frac{2\pi R}{120}=0.052R
