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

Llana [10]3 years ago

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.

The energy of a photon was found to be 3.38 x 10-19 J. Planck's constant is 6.63 x 10-34 J. S. Which color of light corresponds
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of a photon is, E=3.38\times 10^{-19}\ J

We need to tell the color of this light. We know that, the energy of a photon is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

Where

c is the speed of light

\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{3.38 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\\lambda=5.88\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=588\ nm

The wavelength of yellow light is approx 580 nm. Hence, we can say that this photon corresponds to yellow light.

Question: Is a flame matter?<br> .<br> Claim: (Write a statement that answers the question)
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. <em><u>The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.</u></em>

A 57 kg person in a rollercoaster moving through the bottom of a curved track of radius 42.7 m feels a normal force of 995 N. Ho
natita [175]

Answer:

Use Fc centripetal force as positive and W the weight as negative

N = m v^2 / R + m g

v^2 = (N - m g) R / m

v^2 = (995 - 57 * 9.8) 42.7 / 57 = 327 m^2/s^2

v = 18.1 m/s

Note: N - m g is the net force producing the centripetal force
