The bullet travels a horizontal distance of 276.5 m

The bullet is shot forward with a horizontal velocity u_x. It takes a time <em>t</em> to fall a vertical distance <em>y</em> and at the same time travels a horizontal distance <em>x. </em>

The bullet's horizontal velocity remains constant since no force acts on the bullet in the horizontal direction.

The initial velocity of the bullet has no component in the vertical direction. As it falls through the vertical distance, it is accelerated due to the force of gravity.

Calculate the time taken for the bullet to fall through a vertical distance <em>y </em>using the equation,

y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Substitute 0 m/s for u_y, 9.81 m/s²for <em>g</em> and 1.5 m for <em>y</em>.

y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\ 1.5 m=(0m/s)t+\frac{1}{2} (9.81m/s^2)t^2\\ t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.5m)}{9.81m/s^2} } =0.5530s

The horizontal distance traveled by the bullet is given by,

x=u_xt

Substitute 500 m/s for u_x and 0.5530s for t.

x=u_xt\\ =(500m/s)(0.5530s)\\ =276.5m

The bullet travels a distance of 276.5 m.

A force of 880 newtons stretches a spring 4 meters. A mass of 55 kilograms is attached to the end of the spring and is initially
zysi [14]

Answer:

x(t) = -8sin2t

Explanation:

See the attachment for solution

From my solving, we can deduce that w² = 4, and thus, w = 2

Therefore, the general solution is

x(t) = c1 cos2t + c2 sin2t

Considering the final variable, we can conclude that

x(0) = 0

x'(0) = -8 m/s

The final solution, thus

x(t) = -8sin2t

Explain the relationship between resistance and the velocity of shortening.
butalik [34]
The velocity of shortening refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. The relationship between the resistance and velocity of shortening is inverse. The greater the resistance, the shorter the velocity of shortening and the smaller the resistance, the larger the velocity of shortening.

Hopefully this help :)

Help pleasee
agasfer [191]

Answer:

i/f = i/o + i/i       f = focal, o = object, i = image

1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o  =    (o - f) / o f

i = o * f / ( o - f)      image distance

i = 12.5 * 22 / (12.5 - 22) = -28.9 cm

Image is real

Image is 28.9 cm to left of lens

M = - i / o = = 28.9 / 12.5 = 2.3     magnification (convex lens)
