A spring-loaded gun is aimed directly at a distant bull's eye. Because of gravity, the projectile misses and hits at distance y

below the target. Ignoring air drag, to hit the bull's eye the gun should be aimed above it by a distance of __________

Answer:

slightly higher than y

Explanation:

The initial/previous upward component of the bullet's velocity does not really have effect on the constant downward acceleration due to gravity. Since you must aim upward, there will be less or declined horizontal velocity, therefore it will take more time for the bullet to get to the plane of the target or aim. The bullet will now have more time to drop away from the straight line path along which it was aimed.

Furthermore, this problem assumes ideal or perfect conditions (no effects from air resistance). The high speed of a bullet has no much or less effect in this regards.

If a device uses 280 watts of power a day, about how many kilowatt-hours will it use in 30 days?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:C

Explanation:

Power=280watts=280/1000 kilowatts

Power=0.28 kilowatts

Device use 0.28 kilowatts in 1 day

1day=24hours

Device use 0.28 kilowatts in 24hours

30days=30 x 24=720 hours

For 720 hours=(0.28x720) ➗ 24

For 720 hours=201.6 ➗ 24

For 720 hours=8.4

The sun continuously radiates energy into space in all directions. Some of the sun's energy is intercepted by the Earth. The ave
8_murik_8 [283]

B. The Earth radiates an amount of energy into space equal to the amount it receives.

Part of the solar energy is reflected by the Earth into space, this is known as albedo. The other part of the energy radiated by the Earth in the form of infrared radiation, is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, which cause most of this infrared radiation to be emitted into space. Therefore, the net flow of energy is zero.

Grindstone: Rotational Dynamics and Kinematics You have a grindstone (a disk) that is 133.0 kg, has a 0.635 m radius, and is tur
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Ff = 839.05 N

Explanation:

We can use the equation:

Ff = μ*N

where <em>N</em> can be obtained as follows:

∑ Fc = m*ac   ⇒   N - F = m*ac = m*ω²*R    ⇒  N = F + m*ω²*R

then if

F = 32 N

m = 133 Kg

R = 0.635 m

ω = 95 rev /min = (95 rev / min)(2π rad / 1 rev)(1 min / 60 s) = 9.9484 rad /s

we get

N = 32 N + (133 Kg)*(9.9484 rad /s)²*(0.635 m) = 8390.53 N

Finally

Ff = μ*N = 0.10*(8390.53 N) = 839.05 N
