Why does a projectile fired along a horizontal not follow a straight path?​

Physics
1 answer:
Stella [2.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: A projectile which is fired horizontally is being constantly acted upon by acceleration due to gravity, acting vertically downwards. Hence, it does not follow a straight line path. Also Why a projectile fixed along the horizontal not follow a straight line path? Because the projectile fired horizontally is constantly acts upon by acceleration due to gravity acting vertically downwards.

Explanation:

Hope this helped :)

Very lost please help.
V125BC [204]
A) The acceleration is due to gravity at any given point if you look at it vertically, so -10 m/s^2.

b) sin(25) = V_y/V, so V_y = V*sin(25). We use V = V_0 + a t and then the final speed must be 0 because it stops at the highest point. So 0 = V_y - 10t. Solve for t and you get t = 32sin(25)/10 = 16sin(25)/5

c) Y = Y_0 + V_0t + (1/2)at^2, and then we plug the values: Y_m_a_x = 32sin(25)*t - (1/2)*10*t^2 and we already have the time from "b)", so Y_m_a_x = [(32sin(25))*(32sin(25)/10)] - 5(32sin(25)/10)^2; then we just rearrange it Y_m_a_x = 10[(32sin(25))^2/100] - 5 [(32sin(25))^2/100] and finally Y_m_a_x = 5[(32sin(25))^2/100] = (32sin(25))^2/20

While driving a 2150 kg car, carl steps on the gas pedal, accelerating at 4.0 m/s2. If the coefficient of friction between his c
Mrac [35]

Answer:

d. 3332.5 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

Here we have two forces, the force that pushes the car to move forward and the friction force.

The friction force is equal to the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction.

f = N * μ

f = (m*g) * μ

where:

N = weight of the car = 2150*9.81 = 21091.5 [N]

μ = 0.25

f = (21091.5) * 0.25

f = 5273 [N]

Now as the car is moving forward, the car wheels move clockwise. The friction force between the wheels of the car and the pavement must be counterclockwise, i.e. counterclockwise. Therefore the direction of this force is forward. This way we have:

F + f = m*a

F + 5273 = 2150*4

F = 8600 - 5273

F = 3327 [N]

Therefore the answer is d.

A student solving a physics problem to find the unknown has applied physics principles and obtained the expression: μkmgcosθ=mgs
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

\mu_k=\dfrac{gsin\theta -a}{gcos\theta}

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.80 m/s²

a = Acceleration= 3.6 m/s²

\theta = Angle = 27°

The equation is

\mu_kmgcos\theta=mgsin\theta -ma

Mass gets cancelled

\\\Rightarrow \mu_kgcos\theta=gsin\theta -a

Rearranging for \mu_k

\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{gsin\theta -a}{gcos\theta}

The simplified expression is

\mathbf{\mu_k=\dfrac{gsin\theta -a}{gcos\theta}}

*the options are incomplete. The above answer is the required solution

3. A car moves from rest with uniform acceleration along a horizontal road. After travelling a distance of 100 metres, it has ki
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: (c) 2000 N

Explanation:

Given Data :

▪ Initial velocity = zero ( body is at rest)

▪ Distance travelled = 100m

▪ Final kinetic energy = 200000J

To Find :

▪ Resultant force acting on the car.

Therefore:

W = F × d = ΔK ----------------- eq 1.

where,

W = work done

F = applied force

d = distance

ΔK = change in kinetic energy

Calculation :

→ F × d = Kf - Ki ----------------- eq 2.

Where:

Kf = Final kinetic energy = 200000

Ki = initial kinetic energy = 0

Substituting our values into the formula from equation (2)

→ F × 100 = 200000 - 0

→ F = 200000/100

→ F = 2000N
