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

at a major league baseball game, you are sitting a distance 52 meters from home plate. how much time passes between seeing josh
brilliants [131]

sound travels through air at around 340 - 350 m/s.

to cover 52 meters takes it, say, (52/345) = about 0.15 second

This would be the same time-lag even if it were not a major-league game,
except that you might not be able to get a seat 52 meters from home plate
at a little league or t-ball game.

Is calculating the change of velocity the same as calculating acceleration? ​
koban [17]

Answer:

Yes! Thinking about it graphically a position vs time graph models meters per second in most cases, making every point on the line have the units m/s. If we want the find the slope we are finding the change between each point and those units would change to m/s/s or m/s^2 giving us the same units for acceleration. Simply put, slope of a velocity graph gives us acceleration.

ruslelena [56]
  • T1=40°C=313K
  • T_2=-10°C=263K

Applying Charles law

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{100}{313}=\dfrac{V_2}{263}

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=\dfrac{26300}{313}

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=84.02ml

6. When adding vectors graphically, the direction and length of each vector must:
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Not be changed

Option: D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The physical quantity which has both ‘magnitude and direction’ is called vector. These vectors are represented by a line and an arrow, <em>the line represent the magnitude and arrow represent the direction of the physical quantity</em>. The vectors are added and subtracted according to the direction of the vectors.

According to the vector law addition while adding vectors direction and length of the vector is not be changed.<em> If the length of the vector changed the magnitude is also changed while so, while adding vectors length must not be changed. </em>

Sound travels through air at 343 m/s,
sasho [114]

The sound wave will have traveled 2565 m  farther in water than in air.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is known that distance covered by any object is directly proportional to the velocity of the object and the time taken to cover that distance.

Distance = Velocity × Time.

So if time is kept constant, then the distance covered by a wave can vary depending on the velocity of the wave.

As we can see in the present case, the velocity of sound wave in air is 343 m/s. So in 2.25 s, the sound wave will be able to cover the distance as shown below.

Distance = 343 × 2.25 =771.75 m

And for the sound wave travelling in fresh water, the velocity is given as 1483 m/s. So in a time interval of 2.25 s, the distance can be determined as the product of velocity and time.

Distance = 1483×2.25=3337 m.

Since, the velocity of sound wave travelling in fresh water is greater than the sound wave travelling in air, the distance traveled by sound wave in fresh water will be greater.

Difference in distance covered in water and air = 3337-772 m = 2565 m

So the sound wave will have traveled 2565 m  farther in water than in air.
