Answer:

The velocity of the gun relative to the ground is 19.66 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the gun, M = 15.0 kg

The mass of the bullet, m = 50 g

The velocity of the train, v = 75 km/h

                                           = 20.83 m/s

The velocity of bullet relative to train, V' = 350 m/s

The velocity of bullet relative to ground, V = 350 + 20

                                                                       = 370 m/s

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

                                Mv' + mV' = 0

                                   v' = -\frac{mV'}{M}

                                   v' = -\frac{0.050\times 350}{15}

                                      = -1.17 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the gun with,

                                   v₀ = V + v'

                                        = 20.83 - 1.17

                                         = 19.66 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the gun relative to the ground is 19.66 m/s

Answer:

210

Explanation:

A ball rolls horizontally off the cliff at a speed of 30 m/s. It takes 7 seconds for the ball to hit the ground. What is the height of the cliff and the horizontal distance traveled by the ball?

S = (1/2)*9.8 m/s^2 * 7^2 = 240.1 m if the ball is very dense so air resistance, and therefore terminal velocity, can be ignored.

S = v * t = 30 m/s * 7 s = 210 m for the horizontal distance, again assuming negligible air resistance.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a

The  radial acceleration is  a_c  = 0.9574 m/s^2

b

The horizontal Tension is  T_x  = 0.3294 i  \ N

The vertical Tension is  T_y  =3.3712 j   \ N

Explanation:

The diagram illustrating this is shown on the first uploaded

From the question we are told that

   The length of the string is  L =  10.7 \ cm  =  0.107 \ m

     The mass of the bob is  m = 0.344 \  kg

     The angle made  by the string is  \theta  =  5.58^o

The centripetal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

         F  =  \frac{mv^2}{r}

Now From the diagram we see that this force is equivalent to

     F  =  Tsin \theta where T is the tension on the rope  and v is the linear velocity  

     So

          Tsin \theta  =   \frac{mv^2}{r}

Now the downward normal force acting on the bob is  mathematically represented as

          Tcos \theta = mg

So

       \frac{Tsin \ttheta }{Tcos \theta }  =  \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r} }{mg}

=>    tan \theta  =  \frac{v^2}{rg}

=>   g tan \theta  = \frac{v^2}{r}

The centripetal acceleration which the same as the radial acceleration  of the bob is mathematically represented as

      a_c  =  \frac{v^2}{r}

=>  a_c  = gtan \theta

substituting values

     a_c  =  9.8  *  tan (5.58)

     a_c  = 0.9574 m/s^2

The horizontal component is mathematically represented as

     T_x  = Tsin \theta = ma_c

substituting value

   T_x  = 0.344 *  0.9574

    T_x  = 0.3294 \ N

The vertical component of  tension is  

    T_y  =  T \ cos \theta  = mg

substituting value

     T_ y  =  0.344 * 9.8

      T_ y  = 3.2712 \ N

The vector representation of the T in term is of the tension on the horizontal and the tension on the vertical is  

         

       T  = T_x i  + T_y  j

substituting value  

      T  = [(0.3294) i  + (3.3712)j ] \  N

A person wants to fire a water balloon cannon such that it hits a target 100m100m away. if the cannon can only be launched at 45
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>31.3 m/s Since the water balloon is being launched at a 45 degree angle, the horizontal and vertical speeds will be identical. Also the time the balloon takes to reach its peak altitude will match the time it takes to fall. So let's create a few expressions about what we know. Distance the water balloon travels at velocity v for time t d = vt Total time required for the entire trip is double since the balloon goes up, then goes down t = 2v/a Now let's plug in the numbers we have, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 t = 2v/9.8 100 = vt Substitute 2v/9.8 for t in the 2nd formula 100 = v(2v/9.8) Solve for v. 100 = v(2v/9.8) 100 = 2v^2/9.8 980. = 2v^2 490 = v^2 22.13594 = v So we now know that both the horizontal velocity and vertical velocity needed is 22.13594 m/s. Let's verify that 2*22.13594 / 9.8 = 4.51754 So it will take 4.51754 second for the balloon to hit the ground after being launched. 4.51754 * 22.13594 = 100 And during that time it will travel 100 meters horizontally. But we need to know the total velocity. And the Pythagorean theorem comes to the rescue. Just square the 2 velocities, add them together, and take the square root. We already know the square is 490 from the work above, so sqrt(490+490) = sqrt(980) = 31.30495 m/s</span>

What does Electromagnetic induction mean?
mina [271]

Answer:

<u>Electromagnetic introduction</u> is the production of an electromotive force (voltage) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.

  • <em><u>Step up transformers</u></em><u> is</u> a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is greater than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-up transformer. The step-up transformer decreases the output current for keeping the input and output power of the system equal.

  • <u><em>Step down transformer is </em></u><em>a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is less than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-down transformer. The number of turns on the primary of the transformer is greater than the turn on the secondary of the transformer.</em>

<em />

<u>The difference between them:</u>

A transformer is a static device which transfers a.c electrical power from one circuit to the other at the same frequency, but the voltage level is usually changed. For economical reasons, electric power is required to be transmitted at high voltage whereas it has to be utilized at low voltage from a safety point of view. This increase in voltage for transmission and decrease in voltage for utilization can only be achieved by using a step-up and step-down transformer.

Hopefully this helped.
