A missile is moving 1350 m/s at a 25.0° angle. It needs to hit a target 23,500 m away in a 55.0° direction in 10.20 s. What is d
QveST [7]

Answer:

  The target's velocity is about 1320 m/s in the direction 265.7°.

Explanation:

In order for there to be a collision between missile and target, we must have ...

  (target starting position) + (target movement) = (missile movement)

assuming the missile starts from the origin of all measurements. The missile moves 10.2 seconds before impact, so moves a distance of ...

  (10.2 s)(1350 m/s) = 13,770 m

__

We are interested in the target movement, so we can solve for that:

  (target movement) = (missile movement) - (target starting position)

In terms of meters, this is ...

  (target movement) = 13770∠25° - 23500∠55° ≈ 13467.74∠-94.3°

The target covers this distance in the same 10.2 seconds before collision, so its speed is (13467.74 m)/(10.2 s) ≈ 1320.4 m/s.

As a positive angle, the target's direction is ...

  -94.3° +360° = 265.7°

The direction of the target's velocity is 265.7°.

_____

If you're calculating this by hand, there are a couple of ways you can do it. You can convert to rectangular coordinates and back (perhaps least confusing), or you can use the law of cosines to solve the triangle, then translate angles back to the x-y coordinate plane.

Using rectangular coordinates, we have ...

  13770∠25° = 13770(cos(25°), sin(25°)) ≈ (12479.9, 5819.45)

  23500∠55° = 23500(cos(55°), sin(55°)) ≈ (13479.0, 19250.1)

Then the difference is ...

  (12479.9, 5819.45) -(13479.0, 19250.1) ≈ (-999.188, -13430.6)

and the (3rd-quadrant) angle is ...

  target direction = arctan(-13430.6/-999.188) ≈ -94.3° = 265.7°

__

The target's speed is found by dividing the distance it covers by the time it takes.

  √(13430.6² +999.188²)/10.2 ≈ 1320.36 . . . m/s

A stone is dropped from the
ICE Princess25 [194]
  • Height=h=500m
  • Acceleration=g=10m/s^2
  • Initial velocity=u=0
  • Speed of sound=c=340m/s
  • TIME TAKEN BY STONE TO HIT WATER=t
  • Time taken by sound to hear back=T

Now

\\ \sf\longmapsto h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto h=0t+\dfrac{1}{2}10t^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 500=5t^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto t^2=100

\\ \sf\longmapsto t=10s

Now

\\ \sf\longmapsto h=cT

\\ \sf\longmapsto T=\dfrac{h}{c}

\\ \sf\longmapsto T=\dfrac{500}{340}

\\ \sf\longmapsto T=1.47\approx 1.5s

Total time:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto T_{net}=t+T=10+1.5=11.5s

When the spacecraft is at the halfway point, how does the strength of the gravitional force on the spaceprobe by Earth compre wi
mixer [17]

Solution :

When the spacecraft is at halfway point, the distance from the Earth as well as Mars are same. We have to account the masses of the planets. The gravitational force that is exerted by the Earth is greater because of its combined mass with the space probe.

The mass of Earth is greater than the mass of Mars. Therefore, the force of Earth is more than Mars.

A spherical, conducting shell of inner radius r1= 10 cm and outer radius r2 = 15 cm carries a total charge Q = 15 μC . What is t
lutik1710 [3]

a) E = 0

b) 3.38\cdot 10^6 N/C

Explanation:

a)

We can solve this problem using Gauss theorem: the electric flux through a Gaussian surface of radius r must be equal to the charge contained by the sphere divided by the vacuum permittivity:

\int EdS=\frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

where

E is the electric field

q is the charge contained by the Gaussian surface

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

Here we want to find the electric field at a distance of

r = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Here we are between the inner radius and the outer radius of the shell:

r_1 = 10 cm\\r_2 = 15 cm

However, we notice that the shell is conducting: this means that the charge inside the conductor will distribute over its outer surface.

This means that a Gaussian surface of radius r = 12 cm, which is smaller than the outer radius of the shell, will contain zero net charge:

q = 0

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field is also zero:

E = 0

b)

Here we want to find the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of

r = 20 cm = 0.20 m

from the centre of the shell.

Outside the outer surface of the shell, the electric field is equivalent to that produced by a single-point charge of same magnitude Q concentrated at the centre of the shell.

Therefore, it is given by:

E=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}

where in this problem:

Q=15 \mu C = 15\cdot 10^{-6} C is the charge on the shell

r=20 cm = 0.20 m is the distance from the centre of the shell

Substituting, we find:

E=\frac{15\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi (8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.20)^2}=3.38\cdot 10^6 N/C

Calculate the amount of heat (kcal) released when 50.0g of steam at 100*c hits the skin, condenses, and cools to a body temperat
luda_lava [24]
As the steam touches the skin, it undergoes a phase change and releases latent heat due to the phase change. As it reaches equilibrium, it releases sensible heat. We calculate as follows:

Q = latent heat + sensible Heat
Q = 2.26 kJ / g (50.0 g) + 50.0 g ( 4.18 J / g C) (37 C - 100 C) ( 1 kJ / 1000 J)
Q = 99.833 kJ
