A World War II bomber flies horizontally over level terrain, with a speed of 287 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude o
f 3.24 km. The bombardier releases one bomb. (a) How far does the bomb travel horizontally between its release and its impact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance.
1 answer:
Answer: 7.38 km
Explanation: The attachment shows the illustration diagram for the question.
The range of the bomb's motion as obtained from the equations of motion,
H = u(y) t + 0.5g(t^2)
U(y) = initial vertical component of velocity = 0 m/s
That means t = √(2H/g)
The horizontal distance covered, R,
R = u(x) t = u(x) √(2H/g)
Where u(x) = the initial horizontal component of the bomb's velocity = 287 m/s, H = vertical height at which the bomb was thrown = 3.24 km = 3240 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2
R = 287 √(2×3240/9.8) = 7380 m = 7.38 km

The correct answer (sample response) is:
The image seems to be behind the mirror, but nothing is really there.
Include the following in your response:
The image appears to be behind the mirror.
If someone looks behind the mirror, there is no image there.
The coefficient of friction is missing and it has a value of μ = 0.4
Answer:
a = 3.924 m/s²
Explanation:
I've attached the kinematic free body diagram.
Taking the sum of all upward and downward forces,
EFy = 0;
N1 + N2 - m_p•g - m_v•g = 0
N1 + N2 = m_p•g + m_v•g
Where;
N1 and N2 are the normal reactions at the wheels
m_p is the mass of the driver
m_v is the mass of the vehicle
g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Plugging in the relevant values in the question,we obtain;
N1 + N2 = (385 + 75) x 9.81
N1 + N2 = 4512.6N - - - (eq1)
Now, taking sum of all horizontal forces;
EFx = (m_p + m_v) x a
So,
μ(N1 + N2) = (mp + mv) x a
Thus,
0.4(N1 + N2) = (385 + 75)a
0.4(N1 + N2) = 460a
N1 + N2 = 1150a
From eq(1),N1 + N2 = 4512.6N
Thus,
1150a = 4512.6N
a = 4512.6/1150
a = 3.924 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration, a = 3.924 m/s²
