It consists of a bulb containing mercury attached to a glass tube of narrow diameter, the volume of mercury in the tube is much less than the volume in the bulb. The space above the mercury may be filled with nitrogen gas or it may be at less than atmospheric pressure, a partial vacuum.

For a short time the missile moves along the parabolic path y=(18−2x2) km. If motion along the ground is measured as x=(4t−3) km

muminat

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$y=(18-2x^2) km$

$x=(4t-3)km$

Differentiate x and y w.r.t t

$\frac{dx}{dt}=4$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-4x\frac{dx}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-4x\times 4=-16x=-16(4t-3)$

$v_x=\frac{dx}{dt}=4$

$v_y=\frac{dy}{dt}=-16(4t-3)$

Substitute t=1

$v_x=4$

$v_y=-16(4-3)=-16$

Magnitude of velocity= $\mid v\mid=\sqrt{v^2_x+v^2_y}$

$\mid v\mid=\sqrt{4^2+(-16)^2}=16.49 m/s$

Hence, the magnitude of the missile's velocity=16.49 m/s

$a_x=\frac{d(\frac{dx}{dt})}{dt}=\frac{d(4)}{dt}=0$

$a_y=\frac{d(\frac{dy}{dt})}{dt}=\frac{d(-16(4t-3))}{dt}=-64$

Substitute t=1

$a_x=0,a_y=-64$

$\mid a\mid=\sqrt{a^2_x+a^2_y}$

$\mid a\mid=\sqrt{0+(-64)^2}=64m/s^2$

Hence, the magnitude of acceleration when t=1 s= $64m/s^2$

Certain rifles can fire a bullet with a speed of 950 m/s just as it leaves the muzzle (this speed is called the muzzle velocity)

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

a) By $v^2 = u^2 + 2as$ => a= 70291.70.

(b)By $v = u + at$ => t= 1.58 ms.

(c)By $v^2 = u^2 - 2gh$ => H = 46045.92 m.

Explanation:

a) By $v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

$(950)^2 = 0 + 2 \times a \times 0.75\\a = 601666.67 m/s^2\\a/g = 688858.70/9.8 = 70291.70$

(b)By $v = u + at$

$950 = 0 + 601666.67 \times t\\t = 1.58 x 10^-3 sec = 1.58 ms$

(c)By $v^2 = u^2 - 2gh$

$0 = (950)^2 - 2 \times9.8 \times H\\H = 46045.92 m$

(I) In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second pro

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

Explanation:

In the ballistic pendulum experiment, the speed (v) of the projectile is given by:

$v = \frac{m + M}{m} \cdot \sqrt{2gh}$

<em>where m: is the mass of the projectile, M: is the mass of the pendulum, g: is the gravitational constant and h: is the maximum height of the pendulum. </em>

To know how many times faster was the second projectile than the first, we need to take the ratio for the velocities for the projectiles 2 and 1:

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\frac{m_{2} + M}{m_{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{2}}}{\frac{m_{1} + M}{m_{1}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{1}}}$ (1)

<em>where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively, and h₁ and h₂ are the maximum height reached by the pendulum by the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively. </em>

Since the projectile 1 has the same mass that the projectile 2, we can simplify equation (1):

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{h_{2}}}{\sqrt{h_{1}}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{5.2 cm}}{\sqrt{2.6 cm}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = 1.41$

Therefore, the second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

I hope it helps you!
