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.

Complete question :
NASA is concerned about the ability of a future lunar outpost to store the supplies necessary to support the astronauts the supply storage area of the lunar outpost where gravity is 1.63m/s/s can only support 1 x 10 over 5 N. What is the maximum WEIGHT of supplies, as measured on EARTH, NASA should plan on sending to the lunar outpost?
Answer:
601000 N
Explanation:
Given that :
Acceleration due to gravity at lunar outpost = 1.6m/s²
Supported Weight of supplies = 1 * 10^5 N
Acceleration due to gravity on the earth surface = 9.8m/s²
Maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH :
Ratio of earth gravity to lunar post gravity:
(Earth gravity / Lunar post gravity) ;
(9.8 / 1.63) = 6.01
Hence, maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH should be :
6.01 * (1 × 10^5)
6.01 × 10^5
= 601000 N
1 ft²= 0.09290304m²
so:
43560ft²= 0.09290304m²×43560
= 4,046.8564224 m²
Answer:
The second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.
Explanation:
In the ballistic pendulum experiment, the speed (v) of the projectile is given by:
<em>where m: is the mass of the projectile, M: is the mass of the pendulum, g: is the gravitational constant and h: is the maximum height of the pendulum. </em>
To know how many times faster was the second projectile than the first, we need to take the ratio for the velocities for the projectiles 2 and 1:
(1)
<em>where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively, and h₁ and h₂ are the maximum height reached by the pendulum by the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively. </em>
Since the projectile 1 has the same mass that the projectile 2, we can simplify equation (1):

Therefore, the second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.
I hope it helps you!
Answer:
890 N
Explanation:
Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time.
a = Δv / Δt
a = (11 m/s − 0 m/s) / 0.26 s
a = 42.3 m/s²
Force is mass times acceleration.
F = ma
F = (21 kg) (42.3 m/s²)
F ≈ 890 N
