A battleship simultaneously fires two shells toward two identical enemy ships. One shell hits ship A, which is close by, and the

other hits ship B, which is farther away. The two shells are fired at the same speed. Assume that air resistance is negligible and that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is g. Note that after Part B the question setup changes slightly. * What shape is the trajectory (graph of y vs. x) of the shells?
a.straight line
b.parabola
c.hyperbola
d. The shape cannot be determined.

Answer:

b.parabola

Explanation:

Lets take speed of shells = u

When they strike the enemy ships then the path followed by shells given as'

y=xtan\theta -\dfrac{gx^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta}

x =Horizontal distance cover by shell before striking the enemy ship

y=Vertical distance cover by shell before striking the enemy ship

θ=Angle make by initial velocity(u) from horizontal

y=xtan\theta -\dfrac{gx^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta}

Here the power of x is 2 that is why it is the equation of parabola.

Answer is b.

b.parabola

A pressure is applied to 2L of water. The volume is observed to decrease to 18.7 L. Calculate the applied pressure.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Applied pressure is 1.08 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

This exercise is a direct application of Boyle's law, which is the application of the state equation for the case of constant temperature.

PV = nR T

If T is constant, we write the expression for any two points

Po Vo = p1V1

From the statement the initial pressure is the atmospheric pressure 1.01 10⁵ Pa, so we clear and calculate

1 Pa = 1 N / m2

P1 = Po Vo / V1

P1 = 1.01 10⁵ 20/18.7

P1 = 1.08 10⁵ Pa

True or false: in applying the pythagorean theorem to vector addition, the resultant vector is given by the perpendicular vector
olganol [36]

It is False in applying the pythagorean theorem to vector addition, the resultant vector is given by the perpendicular vector

<h3>What is Pythagoras theorem ?</h3>

A useful technique for figuring out the outcome of adding two (and only two) vectors that form a right angle to one another is the Pythagorean theorem. The technique cannot be used to combine more than two vectors or to combine vectors that are not at a 90-degree angle.

  • The Pythagorean Theorem demonstrates how the side lengths of a right triangle can be calculated from the sum of the areas of three intersecting squares. This theorem is a very helpful tool that serves as the foundation for more intricate trigonometry ideas like the Pythagorean theorem's opposite.

(i) a force of 35.0 n is required to start a 6.0-kg box moving across a horizontal concrete floor, (a) what is the coefficient o
Serjik [45]

a. The force applied would be equal to the frictional force.

F = us Fn

where, F = applied force = 35 N, us = coeff of static friction, Fn = normal force = weight

 

35 N = us * (6 kg * 9.81 m/s^2)

us = 0.595

 

b. The force applied would now be the sum of the frictional force and force due to acceleration

F = uk Fn + m a

where, uk = coeff of kinetic friction

 

35 N = uk * (6 kg * 9.81 m/s^2) + (6kg * 0.60 m/s^2)

uk = 0.533
