Assume you built a really big machine that could launch the projectile a “significant” distance; for instance, several hundred m

iles. Write a brief essay discussing the issues that would need to be accounted for with a projectile with that type of range. Be sure to include how those issues affect the range of the projectile.

Answer:

Trebuchet

Explanation:

I've imagined building a Trebuchet. After that idea, there were some things to consider carefully on my project.

The payload should be deadly and also win the air resistance, which brings up the fact the speed and the acceleration must be produced by a great torque by the Trebuchet's counterweight.

My medieval arm is rigid and launches payloads at a steady position so that the loss of forces could be minimal. A stationery trebuchet at the shooting is vital for a greater range, as the speed and impact of its payload would play its role as well.

No friction on its parts (pivots, joints, guide chute) so that we can improve the effectiveness of constant shots.

In addition to this, some parts of the Trebuchet must have no significant mass.

Finally, at each shot, the acceleration of the projectile could be calculated differentiating the speed of the counterweight over time.

All of these matters ought to be considered, for the prototype

<span>First, a problem would be the sheer amount of wind resistance. If an object travels as far as even just one hundred miles it could encounter different wind patterns that could change the trajectory of the object. Second would be the size of the projectile. This creates a problem because the bigger it is, the more momentum it could potentially pick up, given that it is not too big to complete the distance. This is another problem with size, how far the projectile can actually travel. You would have to actually calculate the ideal size of said object to make sure it could actually make the distance you're looking for. hope it helps:)</span>

Two hockey pucks with mass 0.1 kg slide across the ice and collide. Before
RideAnS [48]

The velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

<h3>What is the conservation of momentum?</h3>

The principle of the conservation of the linear momentum states that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

Now given that;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

(0.1 * 15) - (0.1 * 12) = 0.1* v + (0.1 * 15)

1.5 - 1.2 = 0.1v + 1.5

0.3 - 1.5 = 0.1v

v = -1.2/0.1

v = - 12 m/s

Hence, the velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

A driven RLC circuit is being driven by an AC emf source with a maximum current of 2.75 A and maximum voltage of 150 V. The curr
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

(a). Z = 54.54 ohm

(b). R = 36 ohm

(c). The circuit will be Capacitive.

Explanation:

Given data

I = 2.75 A

Voltage = 150 V

\phi = 0.85 rad = 48.72°

(a). Impedance of the circuit is given by

Z = \frac{V}{I}

Z = \frac{150}{2.75}

Z = 54.54 ohm

(b). We know that resistance of the circuit is given by

R = \frac{Z}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^{2}\phi } }

Put the values of Z & \phi in above formula we get

R = \frac{54.54}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^{2} ( \ 48.72) } }

R = 36 ohm

(c). Since the phase angle is negative so the circuit will be Capacitive.

A person is diving in a lake in the depth of h = 5.5 m. The density of the water is rho = 1.0 x10^3 kg/m^3. The pressure of the
Cloud [144]

Answer:a) P = Po + rho×h×g

b) P = 5.4 × 10^9 pa

c) F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

d) 1.174×10^11N

Explanation: Using the formula

P = Po + rho×h×g

P =  1.0 x 10^5 + 1000 × 5.5 × 9.81

P = 5.4 × 10^9pa

The magnitude of the force exerted by water on the top of the person's head F at the depth h in terms of P

F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

Using the above formula

Where A = 0.046m^2

F = P/ A = 5.4×10^9/0.046

F = 1.174×10^11N

A passenger on your boat falls overboard. what should you do first?
yarga [219]
The very first thing that you should do when a passenger on your boat falls overboard is to throw a PFD or also known as a Personal Flotation Device. This would include anything that can help the passenger to float. But this step would differ, only if the passenger is not wearing a lifevest.

Consider an experiment in which slow neutrons of momentum ¯hk are scattered by a diatomic molecule; suppose that the molecule is
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When we have an object in periodic motion, the amplitude will be the maximum displacement from equilibrium. Take for example, when there’s a back and forth movement of a pendulum through its equilibrium point (straight down), then swings to a highest distance away from the center. This distance will be represented as the amplitude, A. The full range of the pendulum has a magnitude of 2A.

position = amplitude x sine function(angular frequency x time + phase difference)

x = A sin(ωt + ϕ)

x = displacement (m)

A = amplitude (m)

ω = angular frequency (radians/s)

t = time (s)

ϕ = phase shift (radians)

Kindly check the attached image below to see the step by step explanation to the question above.
