A crossbow is fired horizontally off a cliff with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. If the arrow takes 4s to hit the ground, what i

s the range of the projectile?
Physics
1 answer:
omeli [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The range of the projectile is 60 meters

Explanation:

To determine the range/distance of the projectile, the formula for velocity is used;

velocity = distance/time

where velocity is 15 m/s

time is 4 seconds

distance is unknown

From the formula above, distance is made the subject and thus

distance = velocity × time

distance = 15 × 4

distance = 60 m

The range of the projectile is 60 meters

Evangelista Torricelli was the first person to realize that we live at the bottom of an ocean of air. He correctly surmised that
Radda [10]

Answer:

a)    h = 8.02 10³ m  b) yes

Explanation:

a) The pressure in a fluid is given by

      P = ρ g h

The pressure in this case is the atmospheric pressure, 1.013 105 Pa, let's clear the height (h)

      h = P / ρ g

      h = 1.013 10⁵ / (1.29 9.8)

      h = 8.02 10³ m

b) The height of Mount Everest is 8848 m

It is above this height, according to this model there would be no air to breathe

A vertical, solid steel post 25 cm in diameter and 2.50m long is required to support a load of 8000kg. You can ignore the weight
Gwar [14]

(a) The stress in the post is 1,568,000 N/m²

(b) The strain in the post is  7.61 x 10⁻⁶  

(c) The change in the post’s length when the load is applied is 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m.

<h3>Area of the steel post</h3>

A = πd²/4

where;

d is the diameter

A = π(0.25²)/4 = 0.05 m²

<h3>Stress on the steel post</h3>

σ = F/A

σ = mg/A

where;

  • m is mass supported by the steel
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • A is the area of the steel post

σ = (8000 x 9.8)/(0.05)

σ = 1,568,000 N/m²

<h3>Strain of the post</h3>

E = stress / strain

where;

  • E is Young's modulus of steel = 206 Gpa

strain = stress/E

strain = (1,568,000) / (206 x 10⁹)

strain = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶

<h3>Change in length of the steel post</h3>

strain = ΔL/L

where;

  • ΔL is change in length
  • L is original length

ΔL = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶ x 2.5

ΔL = 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m

Justin Bieber is thrown horizontally at 10.0 m/s from the top of a cliff 122.5 m high.
sveticcg [70]

===>  Distance fallen from rest in free fall =

                                         (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

                               (122.5 m) = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time²)

Divide each side by (4.9 m/s²):   (122.5 m / 4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                                                           (122.5/4.9) s²  =  time²

Take the square root of each side:    5.0 seconds


===> (Accelerating at 9.8 m/s², he will be dropping at
                               (9.8 m/s²) x (5.0 s) = 49 m/s
when he goes 'splat'.  We'll need this number for the last part.)


===> With no air resistance, the horizontal component of velocity
doesn't change.

Horizontal distance = (10 m/s) x (5.0 s)  =  50 meters .

===>  Impact velocity =  (10 m/s horizontally) + (49 m/s vertically)

                                 = √(10² + 49²)  =  50.01 m/s  arctan(10/49)

                                 =    50.01 m/s   at  11.5° from straight down,
                                                           
away from the base of the cliff.

How are lasers used to determine the distance from earth to the moon?
mezya [45]
A beam of laser is directed at a reflecting surface put on the moon when the beam of laser is reflected a receiver on the each measure the time since the beam was sent till it was received. Laser is simply light so it has constant velocity in vacuum ~ air  (c = 3 x 10^8 m/s)

to find the distance:

t : time measured between launching the beam and receiving it 

d : distance

d = ct
