A rifle that shoots bullets at 471 m/s is to be aimed at a target 46.4 m away. If the center of the target is level with the rif

le, how high above the target must the rifle barrel be pointed so that the bullet hits dead center?

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

How magnitude, distance and velocity affects motion?

levacccp [35]

Answer:

Velocity is the rate of motion in a specific direction. ... My velocity is 30 kilometers per hour that-a-way. Average speed is described as a measure of distance divided by time. Velocity can be constant, or it can change (acceleration).

A 0.5-kilogram apple falls from a height of 2 meters to 1.50 meters. Ignoring frictional effects, what is the kinetic energy of

spin [16.1K]

The final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:

$U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f$

where :

$U_i$ is the initial potential energy, at the top

$K_i$ is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

$U_f$ is the final potential energy, at the bottom

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy, at the bottom

By explicing the potential energy, we can rewrite the equation as:

$mgh_i + K_i = mgh_f + K_f$

where:

m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the apple

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$h_i = 2 m$ is the initial height

$h_f=1.50 m$ is the final height

The initial kinetic energy is zero, since the ball starts from rest:

$K_i = 0$

Therefore we can solve the equation for $K_f$ , the final kinetic energy of the ball:

$K_f = mg(h_i-h_f)=(0.5)(9.8)(2-1.50)=2.45 J$

What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point midway between them if the top one carries a current of 19.5 A and the bo

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The magnetic field will be $\large{\dfrac{1.4 \times 10^{-4}}{d}} T$ , '2d' being the distance the wires.

Explanation:

From Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field ( $\large{\overrightarrow{B}}$ ) at a distance ' $r$ ' due to a current carrying conductor carrying current ' $I$ ' is given by

$\large{\overrightarrow{B} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{4 \pi}} \int \dfrac{\overrightarrow{dl} \times \hat{r}}{r^{2}}}$

where ' $\overrightarrow{dl}$ ' is an elemental length along the direction of the current flow through the conductor.

Using this law, the magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor having current ' $I$ ', at a distance ' $d$ ' is given by

$\large{\overrightarrow{B}} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi d}$

According to the figure if ' $I_{t}$ ' be the current carried by the top wire, ' $I_{b}$ ' be the current carried by the bottom wire and ' $2d$ ' be the distance between them, then the direction of the magnetic field at 'P', which is midway between them, will be perpendicular towards the plane of the screen, shown by the $\bigotimes$ symbol and that due to the bottom wire at 'P' will be perpendicular away from the plane of the screen, shown by $\bigodot$ symbol.

Given $\large{I_{t} = 19.5 A}$ and $\large{I_{B} = 12.5 A}$

Therefore, the magnetic field ( $\large{B_{t}}$ ) at 'P' due to the top wire

$B_{t} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{t}}{2 \pi d}$

and the magnetic field ( $\large{B_{b}}$ ) at 'P' due to the bottom wire

$B_{b} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{b}}{2 \pi d}$

Therefore taking the value of $\mu_{0} = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}$ the net magnetic field ( $\large{B_{M}}$ ) at the midway between the wires will be

$\large{B_{M} = \dfrac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{2 \pi d} (I_{t} - I_{b}) = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-7}}{d} = \dfrac{41.4 \times 10 ^{-4}}{d}} T$
