Answer:

  The target's velocity is about 1320 m/s in the direction 265.7°.

Explanation:

In order for there to be a collision between missile and target, we must have ...

  (target starting position) + (target movement) = (missile movement)

assuming the missile starts from the origin of all measurements. The missile moves 10.2 seconds before impact, so moves a distance of ...

  (10.2 s)(1350 m/s) = 13,770 m

__

We are interested in the target movement, so we can solve for that:

  (target movement) = (missile movement) - (target starting position)

In terms of meters, this is ...

  (target movement) = 13770∠25° - 23500∠55° ≈ 13467.74∠-94.3°

The target covers this distance in the same 10.2 seconds before collision, so its speed is (13467.74 m)/(10.2 s) ≈ 1320.4 m/s.

As a positive angle, the target's direction is ...

  -94.3° +360° = 265.7°

The direction of the target's velocity is 265.7°.

_____

If you're calculating this by hand, there are a couple of ways you can do it. You can convert to rectangular coordinates and back (perhaps least confusing), or you can use the law of cosines to solve the triangle, then translate angles back to the x-y coordinate plane.

Using rectangular coordinates, we have ...

  13770∠25° = 13770(cos(25°), sin(25°)) ≈ (12479.9, 5819.45)

  23500∠55° = 23500(cos(55°), sin(55°)) ≈ (13479.0, 19250.1)

Then the difference is ...

  (12479.9, 5819.45) -(13479.0, 19250.1) ≈ (-999.188, -13430.6)

and the (3rd-quadrant) angle is ...

  target direction = arctan(-13430.6/-999.188) ≈ -94.3° = 265.7°

__

The target's speed is found by dividing the distance it covers by the time it takes.

  √(13430.6² +999.188²)/10.2 ≈ 1320.36 . . . m/s

A particle is moving along the x-axis. Its position as a function of time is given as x=bt-ct^2a) What must be the units of the
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

We are given x= bt +ct²

So

A. bxt= m

Because m/s*s= m

So b= m/s and c= m/s²

B.

x= bt-ct²

So at x=0 t=0

x=0 t= 2

We have

bt = ct² so t = b/c at x= 0

So b-2ct= 0

B. To find velocity we use

dx / dt = b - 2 Ct

C. At rest wen V= 0

We have t= b/2c

D. To find acceleration we use

dv / dt = - 2C

What is compression
Talja [164]
The answer is B) region of high pressure in a medium caused by a passing wave

Compression is the forcing of the molecules of a medium, be it water, air, or something else, as a wave passes by. This forcing together of the molecules raises the pressure of the medium in the area that the wave passes through.

1. An object is projected upward with a velocity of 125 m/s.
grigory [225]

Answer:

A) s = 796.38 m

B) t = 12.742 s

C) T = 25.484 s

Explanation:

A) First of all let's find the time it takes to get to maximum height using Newton's first equation of motion.

v = u + gt

u = 125 m/s

v = 0 m/s

g = 9.81 m/s²

Thus;

0 = 125 - 9.81(t)

g is negative because motion is against gravity. Thus;

9.81t = 125

t = 125/9.81

t = 12.742 s

Max height will be gotten from Newton's 2nd equation of motion;

s = ut + ½gt²

s = (125 × 12.742) + (½ × -9.81 × 12.742²)

s = 1592.75 - 796.37

s = 796.38 m

B) time to reach maximum height is;

t = u/g

t = 125/9.81

t = 12.742 s

C) Total time elapsed is;

T = 2u/g

T = 2 × 125/9.81

T = 25.484 s
