Defiance Drake, Space Adventurer, desperately needs to reach a cargo vessel 100m away, or run out of air and die in deep space.

For our purposes, there are two relevant directions, the direction Defiance is traveling in (the x-direction, at 1 m/s), and direction of the cargo ship's motion, which is perpendicular to her motion (y-direction, 10 m/s). Defiance uses her jet boots, choosing to accelerate directly in the x-direction at 0.25g (she starts at (x=100,y=0)). If the cargo vessel is 25 m long, and its nose cone starts at x=0,y=0, will Defiance reach the ship or miss? If she misses, how should she have chosen her path (assume she cannot exceed 1 g)?

She misses. She should have accelerated faster in order to get to her target.

The potential energy of a catapult was completely converted into kinetic energy by releasing a small stone with a mass of 20 gra

DerKrebs [107]

1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
20 grams = 0.02 kilogram

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

(1/2) (0.02) x (15)² =

(0.01) x (225) = 2.25 joules

A bullet fired vertically at a velocity of 36m/s .after 45 the bullet hit the top of a bulid how height is a bulid?

zzz [600]

Answer:

The height of the building is 8,302.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the projectile, u = 36 m/s

time of motion, t = 45 s

Let the upward direction of the bullet be negative,

The height of the building is calculated as;

$h = ut - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = (36\times 45) - (\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 45^2)\\\\h = 1620 - 9922.5\\\\h = -8,302.5 \ m\\\\The \ height \ of \ the \ building \ is \ 8,302.5 \ m$

A ship maneuvers to within 2.46×10³ m of an island’s 1.80 × 10³ m high mountain peak and fires a projectile at an enemy ship 6.1

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The distance close to the peak is 597.4 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the first ship from the mountain $d=2.46\times10^{3}\ m$

Height of island $h=1.80\times10^{3}\ m$

Distance of the enemy ship from the mountain $d'=6.10\times10^{2}\ m$

Initial velocity $v=2.55\times10^{2}\ m/s$

Angle = 74.9°

We need to calculate the horizontal component of initial velocity

Using formula of horizontal component

$v_{x}=v\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{x}=2.55\times10^{2}\cos74.9$

$v_{x}=66.42\ m/s$

We need to calculate the vertical component of initial velocity

Using formula of vertical component

$v_{y}=v\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{y}=2.55\times10^{2}\sin74.9$

$v_{y}=246.19\ m/s$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v_{x}}$

$t=\dfrac{2.46\times10^{3}}{66.42}$

$t=37.03\ sec$

We need to calculate the height of the shell on reaching the mountain

Using equation of motion

$H= v_{y}t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value in the equation

$H=246.19\times37.03-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(37.03)^2$

$H=2397.4\ m$

We need to calculate the distance close to the peak

Using formula of distance

$H'=H-h$

Put the value into the formula

$H'=2397.4-1800$

$H'=597.4\ m$

Hence, The distance close to the peak is 597.4 m.

A ball of mass 8 kg falls from rest from a height of 100 m. Neglecting air resistance,calculate its kinetic energy after falling

astra-53 [7]

As an object falls from rest, its gravitational energy is converted to kinetic energy

G.P.E = K.E = mgh

K.E = (80 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(30 m)

K.E. = 23,520 J
