An archer fires and arrow while standing atop a 5.15 m tall wall. The arrow is fired at an angle of 55 degrees and has a launch

velocity of 52.4 m/s. (This is the actual launch velocity for English Longbows!) a. What is the time of flight for the arrow?
b. How far from the wall does the arrow strike the ground?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

height of wall=5.15 m

angle of launch(\theta )=55^{\circ}

Launch velocity(u)=52.4 m/s

Time of flight will be sum of time of flight of projectile+time to cover 5.15 m

Time of flight of arrow=\frac{2usin\theta }{g}

t=\frac{2\times 52.4\times sin55}{9.81}=8.76 s

Now time require to cover 5.15 m

Here at the time of zero vertical displacement of arrow i.e. when arrow is at the same height as of building then its vertical velocity will change its sign compared to initial vertical velocity.

v_y=-52.4sin55 at zero vertical displacement

Thus time required will be t_2

5.15=52.4sin55\times t+\frac{gt^2}{2}

4.9t^2+42.92t-5.15=0

t=0.118 s i.e. t_2=0.118 s

total time =t_1+t_2=8.76+0.118=8.878 s

(b)Horizontal distance=Range of arrow(R_1) + horizontal distance in 0.118 s(R_2)

R_1=\frac{u^2sin2\theta }{g}=\frac{52.4^2\times sin110}{9.8}=263.28 m

R_2=52.4cos55 \times 0.118=3.546 m

R=R_1+R_2=263.28+3.546=266.82 m

A catamaran with a mass of 5.44×10^3 kg is moving at 12 knots. How much work is required to increase the speed to 16 knots? (One
Andre45 [30]

The work that is required to increase the speed to 16 knots is 14,176.47 Joules

If a catamaran with a mass of 5.44×10^3 kg is moving at 12 knots, hence;

5.44×10^3 kg = 12 knots

For an increased speed to 16knots, we will have:

x = 16knots

Divide both expressions

\frac{5.44 \times 10^3}{x} = \frac{12}{16}\\12x = 16 \times 5.44 \times 10^3\\x = 7.23\times 10^3kg\\

To get the required work done, we will divide the mass by the speed of one knot to have:

w=\frac{7230}{0.51}\\w= 14,176.47Joules

Hence the work that is required to increase the speed to 16 knots is 14,176.47 Joules

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north


<u>Explanation</u>


Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.


Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.


We now add to obtain,

4+-2+5+-5

This will simplify to

=4-2+5-5=2

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north

When a car crashes, do you think its speed can make a difference in the<br> amount of damage done?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

An increased speed will result in an increased amount of energy, so when it crashes some of that energy will bounce back and crumple the car.

"what is the horse's average velocity during the first ten seconds of its gallop
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, from the completed question, determine the distance (in meters) the horse covered in the first ten seconds of it's gallop and apply the formula below.

Average velocity = distance (in meters) ÷ time (in seconds as provided in this question)

The unit for velocity (to be used here) is m/s or ms⁻¹
