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.

Can someone help me?!!!!!
ladessa [460]

Answer:

magnitude: 21.6; direction: 33.7 degrees

Explanation:

When we multiply a vector by a scalar, we have to multiply each component of the vector by the scalar number. In this case, we have

vector: (-3,-2)

Scalar: -6

so the vector multiplied by the scalar will have components

(-3\cdot (-6), -2 \cdot (-6))=(18,12)

The magnitude is given by Pythagorean's theorem:

m=\sqrt{18^2+12^2}=21.6

and the direction is given by the arctan of the ratio between the y-component and the x-component:

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{12}{18})=33.7^{\circ}

Calculate, for the judge, how fast you were going in miles per hour when you ran the red light because it appeared Doppler-shift
sammy [17]

Answer:

The doppler effect equation is:

f' = \frac{v +v0}{v - vs}*f

In the equation we have frequencies, but then we have the wavelengths of the lights, remember the relation:

v = f*λ

then:

f = v/λ

and v is the speed of light, then:

f = c/λ

where:

f' is the observed frequency, in this case, is equal to f = (3*10^17nm/s)/550 nm

f is the real frequency, in this case, is (3*10^17nm/s)/650 nm

vs is the speed of the source, in this case, the source is not moving, then vs = 0 m/s.

v is the speed of the wave, in this case, is equal to the speed of light, v = 3*10^8 m/s

v0 is your speed, this is what we want to find.

Replacing those quantities in the equation, we get:

(3*10^17nm/s)/550 = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)/(3*10^8 m/s)*(3*10^17nm/s)/650 nm

(650nm)/(550nm) = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)/(3*10^8 m/s)

1.182*(3*10^8 m/s) = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)

1.182*(3*10^8 m/s) -  (3*10^8 m/s) = v0 = 54,600,000 m/s

So your speed was 54,600,000 m/s, which is a lot.

What are the subzones for each main zone?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The oceanic zone is subdivided into the epipelagic, mesopelagic, and bathypelagic zones on the basis of amount of light that reaches different depths. The mesopelagic (disphotic) zone, where only small amounts of light penetrate, lies below the Epipelagic zone.
