Answer:

The equation that will express this result os

h = 0 = vy t - 1/2 g t^2    so the net height traveled by the bullet is zero

vy t = 1/2 g t^2

vy = 1/2 g t

vy = 1/2 * 9.8 * t       you could use -9.8 to indicate vy and g are in different directions

tx = sx/ vx  = 46.4 / 471 = .0985 sec    time to travel up and down to original height

th = .0985 / 2 = .0493 sec        time to reach maximum height

vy = g ty = 9.8 * .0493 sec = .483 m/s    initial vertical speed

Sy = vy t - 1/2 g t^2 = .483 * .0493 - 1.2 9.8 (.0493^^2)

Sy = .0238 - 4.9 ( .0493)^2 = .0238 - .0119 = .0119 m

Height to which bullet will rise - if the gun is aimed at this height then in .0985 seconds the bullet will fall to zero height

Check:    .483 / 9.8 =  .0493   time to reach zero vertical speed

total travel time = 2 * .0493 = .0986 sec

471 * .0986 = 46.4 m   total distance traveled by bullet

Four students measured the same line with a ruler like the one shown below. The results were as follows: 5.52 cm, 6.63 cm, 5.5,
finlep [7]

Answer:

correct answer is 1 and 3

Explanation:

In direct measurement with an instrument, the precision or absolute error of the instrument is given by its appreciation, in this case we see that the measurements have two decimal places, so the appreciation of the instrument must be 0.01 cm

Based on this appreciation, the valid measurements are 5.52 and 5.5.

the other two measurements have errors much higher than the assessment of the instrument, for which there must have been some errors in the measurement.

The correct answer is 1 and 3
