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

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

82.4 cm

Explanation:

The object and screen are kept fixed ie the distance between them is fixed and by displacing lens between them images are formed on the screen . In the first case let u be the object distance and v be the image distance

then ,

u + v = 184 cm

In the second case of image formation , v becomes u and u becomes v only then image formation in the second case is possible.

The difference between two object distance ie(  v - u ) is the distance by which lens is moved so

v - u = 82.4 cm

ipn [44]

Answer:2.5 m/s

37.5KJ

Explanation:

Let u_1, u_2 , v_f be the initial velocity of rail road car ,coupled cars & Final velocity of system respectively.

m=2.50\times 10^{4}

Conserving momentum

mu_1+3mu_2=4mv_f

4m+6m=4mv_f

v_f=2.5 m/s

Therefore Final velocity of system is 2.5m/s

(b)Mechanical Energy lost =Initial Kinetic Energy -Final Kinetic Energy

Initial Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}m\left ( 4^2\right )+\frac{1}{2}m\left ( 2^2\right )=14m J

Final Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}4m\left ( 2.5^2\right )=12.5m J

Mechanical Energy lost=14m-12.5m=3.75\times 10^4=37.5 KJ
