The muzzle velocity of an armor-piercing round fired from an M1A1 tank is 1770 m/s (nearly 4000 mph or mach 5.2). A tank is at t

he top of a cliff and fires a shell horizontally. If the shell lands 6520 m from the base of the cliff, how high is the cliff?

<h2>Height of cliff is 66.43 meter.</h2>

Explanation:

Consider the horizontal motion of shell,

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 1770 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²  

        Displacement, s = 6520 m      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                     6520 = 1770 x t + 0.5 x 0 xt²

                      t = 3.68 s

      Time of flight of shell = 3.68 s.

Now consider the vertical motion of shell,

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 3.68 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 3.68 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3.68²

                      s = 66.43 m

      Height of cliff is 66.43 meter.

a skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky
Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh                        

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to                    

gravity   and  h = height of the object above the reference line .


as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.


when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens

Why does the closed top of a convertible bulge when the car is riding along a highway? Why does the closed top of a convertible
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Option D

The air pressure inside the car is greater than the pressure outside.

Explanation:

When considering airflow over and around a surface, from Bernoulli's equation, air flow regions with higher velocity have a lower pressure, and regions with lower velocity have a higher pressure.

The air outside the convertible is moving faster than the air inside the convertible. This leads to a higher pressure zone just below the surface of the roof (inside the car) causing the roof of the convertible to bulge upwards
