A bullet is fired from a rifle with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at an angle of 25 degrees from the horizontal.

Answer:

1. The horizontal component of the velocity is approximately 271.89 m/s

The vertical component of the velocity is approximately 126.79 m/s

2. The time the bullet spends in the air is approximately 25.85 seconds

3. The maximum height reached by the bullet is approximately 819.35 meters

4. The horizontal distance is approximately 7028.36 meters

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the bullet = 300 m/s

The angle at which the bullet was fired, θ = 25° from the horizontal

1. The horizontal component of the velocity vₓ = The component of the velocity in the x-direction

vₓ = v × cos(θ)

Substituting gives;

vₓ = 300 × cos(25°) ≈ 271.89 m/s

The vertical component of the velocity u_y = The component of the velocity in the y-direction

v_y = v × sin(θ)

Substituting gives;

u_y = 300 × sin(25°) ≈ 126.79 m/s

2. The time the bullet takes to maximum height, t = 1/2 × The time the bullet spends in the air

The following is the relevant kinematic equation for the vertical motion of the bullet;

v = u - g × t

Where;

v_y = The final velocity vertical velocity = (0 at maximum height)

u_y = The initial vertical velocity ≈ 126.79 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

t = The time in flight of the bullet

Substituting gives;

0 = 126.79 - 9.81 × t

t ≈ 126.79/9.81 ≈ 12.924 s

The time the bullet spends in the air = 2 × The time the bullet takes to maximum height

∴ The time the bullet spends in the air ≈ 2 × 12.924 ≈ 25.85

The time the bullet spends in the air ≈ 25.85 seconds

3. The maximum height reached is given from the following kinematic equation;

u_y² = 2 × g × h

Where;

h = The maximum height reached by the bullet

∴ h = u_y²/(2 × g)

h = 126.79²/(2 × 9.81) = 819.35

The maximum height reached by the bullet = h = 819.35 meters

4. The horizontal distance travelled by the bullet = Horizontal component of the velocity of the bullet × The time the bullet spends in the air

∴ The horizontal distance travelled by the bullet = 271.89 × 25.85 ≈ 7028.36

The horizontal distance travelled by the bullet ≈ 7028.36 meters.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

A,)FD= 114.1N

B)Torque=798.5Nm

Explanation:

We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque. Suppose a tree's canopy presents an area of 9.0 m^2 to the wind centered at a height of 7.0 m above the ground. (These are reasonable values for forest trees.)

If the wind blows at 6.5 m/s, what is the magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy? Assume a drag coefficient of 0.50 and the density of air of 1.2 kg/m^3

B)What torque does this force exert on the tree, measured about the point where the trunk meets the ground?

A)The equation of Drag force equation can be expressed below,

FD =[ CD × A × ρ × (v^2/ 2)]

Where CD= Drag coefficient for cone-shape = 0.5

ρ = Density

Area of of the tree canopy = 9.0 m^2

density of air of = 1.2 kg/m^3

V= wind velocity= 6.5 m/s,

If we substitute those values to the equation, we have;

FD =[ CD × A × ρ × (v^2/ 2)]

F= [ 0.5 × 9.0 m^2 × 1.2 kg/m^3 ( 6.5 m/s/ 2)]

FD= 114.1N

B) the torque can be calculated using below formula below

Torque= (Force × distance)

= 114.1 × 7

= 798.5Nm

Which geologic feature most likely be represented by contour lines drawn far apart from one another?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer;

A plain

Explanation;

A contour line connects points of the same elevation. Contour lines are usually curves. Closed contours represent hills.

Contour lines can not cross since they represent different elevations. A contour interval is the difference in elevation between one contour and an adjacent contour.
