Answer:
≅50°
Explanation:
We have a bullet flying through the air with only gravity pulling it down, so let's use one of our kinematic equations:
Δx=V₀t+at²/2
And since we're using Δx, V₀ should really be the initial velocity in the x-direction. So:
Δx=(V₀cosθ)t+at²/2
Now luckily we are given everything we need to solve (or you found the info before posting here):
- Δx=760 m
- V₀=87 m/s
- t=13.6 s
- a=g=-9.8 m/s²; however, at 760 m, the acceleration of the bullet is 0 because it has already hit the ground at this point!
With that we can plug the values in to get:
Answer:
toward the center
Explanation:
Before answering, let's remind the first two Newton Laws:
1) An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object moving at constant velocity tends to continue its motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon a net force
2) An object acted upon a net force F experiences an acceleration a according to the equation
where m is the mass of the object.
In this problem, we have an object travelling at constant speed in a circular path. The fact that the trajectory of the object is circular means that the direction of motion of the object is constantly changing: this means that its velocity is changing, so it has an acceleration. And therefore, a net force is acting on it. The force that keeps the object travelling in the circular path is called centripetal force, and it is directed towards the center of the circle (because it prevents the object from continuing its motion straight away).
So, the correct answer is
toward the center
