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

Physics
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
3 0

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.

A car drives on a circular road of radius R. The distance driven by the car is given by = + [where a and b are constants, and t
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, the complete question is "A car drives on a circular road of radius R. The distance driven by the car is given by d(t)= at^3+bt [where a and b are constants, and t in seconds will give d in meters]. In terms of a, b, and R, and when t = 3 seconds, find an expression for the magnitudes of (i) the tangential acceleration aTAN, and (ii) the radial acceleration aRAD3"

answers:

a.18a m/s^{2}

b. a_{rad}=\frac{(27a +b)^{2}}{R}

Explanation:

First let state the mathematical expression for the tangential acceleration and the radial acceleration.

a. tangential acceleration is express as

a_{tan}=\frac{d|v|}{dt} \\

since the distance is expressed as

d=at^{3}+bt

the derivative is the velocity, hence

V(t)=\frac{dd(t)}{dt}\\V(t)=3at^{2}+b\\

hence when we take the drivative of the velocity we arrive at

a_{tan}=\frac{dv(t)}{dt}\\ a_{tan}=6at\\t=3 \\we have \\a_{tan}=18a m/s^2

b. the expression for the radial acceleration is expressed as

a_{rad}=\frac{v^{2}}{r}\\a_{rad}=\frac{(3at^{2} +b)^{2}}{R}\\t=3\\a_{rad}=\frac{(27a +b)^{2}}{R}

The asteroid belt circles the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. One asteroid has a period of 5.4 earth years.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

(a) Radius = 4.6 x 10^11 m

(b) speed = 16.96 km/s

Explanation:

Time period, T = 5.4 earth years

mass of sun, M = 1.989 x 10^30 kg

(a) Let the orbital radius is R.

use the formula of period

T^2 = \frac{4 \pi^2 R^3}{G M}\\\\\left ( 5.4\times 365\times 24\times 3600 \right )^2 = \frac{4\times3.14\times 3.14\times R^3}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\\\\R = 4.6\times 10^{11} m

(b) Let the speed is v.

v=\frac{2 \pi\times R}{T}\\\\v=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 4.6\times 10^{11}}{5.4\times 365\times 24\times 3600}\\\\v = 16963.6 m/s =16.96 km/s

The main offenders in terms of greenhouse gas emissions are?
Mandarinka [93]

The main offenders in terms of greenhouse gas emissions are Asia and Oceania.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone.

Asia is Earth's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the Eastern and Northern Hemispheres. Whereas Oceania is a geographic region that includes Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia.  

Asia includes: Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Mongolia, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Asia has three main financial centers: Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore.

Oceania countries are: Australia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu

Currently, most of factories that exist in the world are established within Asian and Oceanian region because they have good supply of cheap labours. For example, China was initially one of the lowest labour cost countries known.  They produce the largest amount of pollutant which contain CO2 that contributed greatly to the greenhouse effects.

Hope it helps

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Centrifugal force

Explanation:

The reacting force that is equal to and opposite in the direction to the centripetal force and tends to fling air out of the center of rotation of High and Low pressure systems is called centrifugal force.

Centrifugal force is force that causes an object moving in a circular path to move out and away from the center of it's path, it always centripetal force and the force is imaginary, which can only be felt and not seen.
