Answer:

8.49 cm below the target;

v = 380.0022 m/s; \theta=0.2^o

Explanation:

Let us divide this problem into it's x- and y-components (horizontal = x and vertical = y)

x-component:

Initial velocity of the bullet, u_x = 380 m/s

Distance between the target and the pistol, S_x = 50 m

Acceleration, a_x = 0 m/s^2

Using the following Newton's equation of motion,

S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

or, S_x =u_xt+\frac{1}{2} a_xt^2

or, 50=(380\times t)+\frac{1}{2}(0\times t^2)

or, t=\frac{50}{380} s = 0.1316s

y-component:

Initial velocity of the bullet, u_y = 0 m/s

Distance the bullet sways from the bullseye = S_y

Acceleration, a_y=g=9.81m/s^2     (g = acceleration due to gravity)

Again using the same equation used above, we get,

S_y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2

or, S_y=(0\times t)+\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times(0.1316)^2=0.0849m=8.49cm

Now, to find the velocity of the bullet just before it hits the target, we shall use the following equation of motion,

v^2=u^2+2aS

or, v_y^2=0+2\times 9.81\times0.0849 m^2/s^2=1.66m^2/s^2

or, v_y=\sqrt{1.66} m/s\approx1.3m/s

Therefore magnitude of the final velocity of the bullet, v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2} =\sqrt{380^2+(1.3)^2} m/s= 380.0022 m/s

and the direction( in degrees about the x-axis),

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{1.3}{380}  )=0.1960^o\approx0.2^o

11)A 1100 kg car travels on a straight highway with a speed of 30 m/s. The driver sees a red light ahead and applies her
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Time taken = 8.25 second

Explanation:

Given:

Force = 4000 N

Force = ma

4,000 = (1100)(a)

Acceleration = 3.6363 m/s²

v = u + at

0 = 30 + (3.6363)t

Time taken = 8.25 second

What is the acceleration of a race car if it has a mass of 1200kg and is moving with an engine force of 400N
meriva

Answer:

0.34 m/s^2

Explanation:

force=mass × acceleration

400 =1200 × acceleration

acceleration=400/1200

=0.34 m/s^2

Fiona followed these steps for a scientific investigation: 1. Collect baking soda and vinegar 2. Pour baking soda into a bowl. 3
horrorfan [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is combining baking soda and vinegar will cause a chemical change.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which two or more chemical substances react to form two or more different chemical substances

A new substance (product) is formed in a chemical reaction when the bonds between the reactants are broken so that the new bonds between the products can be formed.

A physical process is defined as the process in which the physical state of matter takes place. Like, in the process of vaporization, a liquid state changes to the gaseous state without changing the composition of species.

When baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate) is reacted with vinegar (acetic acid), it leads to the formation of sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide.

A new compound is getting formed in this process which is denoted by the chemical equation:

NaHCO_3+CH_3COOH\rightarrow CH_3COONa+H_2O+CO_2

Hence, the correct statement is combining baking soda and vinegar will cause a chemical change.
