Where c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The initial position of the projectile is

s=1.5m and the projectile is initially at rest. The projectile accelerates until it reaches the end of the barrel at s=3m. What is the value of the constant c such that the projectile leaves the barrel with a velocity of 200 m/s?

Complete Question

A gas gun uses high pressure gas tp accelerate projectile through the gun barrel.

If the acceleration of the projective is : a = c/s m/s​2

Where c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The initial position of the projectile is s= 1.5m and the projectile is initially at rest. The projectile accelerates until it reaches the end of the barrel at s=3m. What is the value of the constant c such that the projectile leaves the barrel with velocity of 200m/s?

Answer:

The value of the constant is  c = 28853.78 \ m^2 /s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

         The acceleration is  a =  \frac{c}{s}\   m/s^2

         The  initial position of the projectile is s= 1.5m

         The final position of the projectile is s_f =  3 \ m

          The velocity is  v = 200 \ m/s

     Generally  time  =  \frac{ds}{dv}

   and  acceleration is a =  \frac{v}{time }

so

            a = v  \frac{dv}{ds}

 =>        vdv  =  a ds

             vdv  = \frac{c}{s}  ds

integrating both sides

           \int\limits^a_b  vdv  = \int\limits^c_d \frac{c}{s}  ds

Now for the limit

          a =  200 m/s

             b = 0 m/s  

         c = s= 3 m

          d =s_f= 1.5 m

So we have  

           \int\limits^{200}_{0}  vdv  = \int\limits^{3}_{1.5} \frac{c}{s}  ds

              [\frac{v^2}{2} ] \left | 200} \atop {0}} \right.  = c [ln s]\left | 3} \atop {1.5}} \right.

            \frac{200^2}{2}  =  c ln[\frac{3}{1.5} ]

=>           c = \frac{20000}{0.69315}

              c = 28853.78 \ m^2 /s^2

Which one of the following concepts explains why heavy nuclei do not follow the N = Z line (or trend) in the figure? A Transmuta
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Option B. Coulomb Repulsion

Explanation:

The reason for the heavy nucleus not being able to follow the trend or the N= Z line is because of the fact that as the atomic number, Z of an atom increases, the number of protons inside the atom also increases. Since the neutrons are charge less particles whereas the protons are positively charged particle and hence as these increases in number there is an increase in the repulsive force between the like charges, i.e., positively charged protons which is Coulomb repulsion.

A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 40 m/s at an angle of elevation of 30∘. Find the following: (Assume air resistanc
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

a. 2.0secs

b. 20.4m

c. 4.0secs

d. 141.2m

e. 40m/s, ∅= -30°

Explanation:

The following Data are giving

Initial speed U=40m/s

angle of elevation,∅=30°

a. the expression for the time to attain the maximum height is expressed as

t=\frac{usin\alpha }{g}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and the value is 9.81m/s if we substitute values we arrive at

t=40sin30/9.81\\t=2.0secs

b. the expression for the maximum height is expressed as

H=\frac{u^{2}sin^{2}\alpha  }{2g} \\H=\frac{40^{2}0.25 }{2*9.81} \\H=20.4m

c. The time to hit the ground is the total time of flight which is twice the time to reach the maximum height ,

Hence T=2t

T=2*2.0

T=4.0secs

d. The range of the projectile is expressed as

R=\frac{U^{2}sin2\alpha}{g}\\R=\frac{40^{2}sin60}{9.81}\\R=141.2m

e. The landing speed is the same as the initial projected speed but in opposite direction

Hence the landing speed is 40m/s at angle of -30°

A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume is called
bulgar [2K]


The best answer is D.

Stress is a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume. Because stress is a force, it adds energy to the rock, which is stored in the rock until either the rock breaks or changes shape.

There are three kinds of stress, namely shearing, tension and compression.

Shearing-  force that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions and can cause rock to break and  slip apart or change shape.

Tension -  force that pulls on the crust, stretching rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle.

Compression - force that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks
