For the ballistic missile aimed to achieve the maximum range of 9500 km, what is the maximum altitude reached in the trajectory

Physics
1 answer:
liraira [26]2 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

The range <em>R</em> of a projectile is given the equation

R = \dfrac{v_0^2}{g}\sin{2\theta}

The maximum range is achieved when \theta = 45° so our equation reduces to

R_{max} = \dfrac{v_0^2}{g}

We can solve for the initial velocity v_0 as follows:

v_0^2 = gR_{max} \Rightarrow v_0 = \sqrt{gR_{max}}

or

v_0 = \sqrt{(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(9.5×10^6\:\text{m})}

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=9.6×10^3\:\text{m/s}

To find the maximum altitude H reached by the missile, we can use the equation

v_y^2 = v_{0y}^2 - 2gy = (v_0\sin{45°})^2 - 2gy

At its maximum height H, v_y = 0 so we can write

0 = (v_0\sin{45°})^2 - 2gH

or

H = \dfrac{(v_0\sin{45°})^2}{2g}

\:\:\:\:\:\:= \dfrac{[(9.6×10^3\:\text{m/s})\sin{45°}]^2}{2(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)}

\:\:\:\:\:\:= 2.4×10^6\:\text{m}

If the atoms of one object (initially neutral) have electrons rubbed off through friction with a second object, the first object
snow_lady [41]
Positive. The 1st object loses electrons and will thus have an imbalance of charge with loss of electrons.

a person pushing a stroller starts from rest, uniformly accelerating at a rate of 0.500m/s^2. what is the velocity of the stroll
grandymaker [24]
You're going to use the constant acceleration motion equation for velocity and displacement:
(V)final²=(V)initial²+2a(Δx)

Given:
a=0.500m/s²
Δx=4.75m
(V)intial=0m
(V)final= UNKNOWN

(V)final= 2.179m/s

Two long parallel wires are separated by 6.0 mm. The current in one of the wires is twice the other current. If the magnitude of
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of force per unit length of wire on each of wires

= μ₀ x 2 i₁ x i₂ / 4π r    where i₁ and i₂ are current in the two wires , r is distance between the two and  μ₀ is permeability .

Putting the values ,

force per unit length = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x i x 2i / ( 6 x 10⁻³ )

= .67 i² x 10⁻⁴

force on 3 m length

= 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

Given ,

8 x 10⁻⁶ = 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

i²  = 3.98 x 10⁻²

i = 1.995 x 10⁻¹

= .1995

=  0.2 A approx .

2 i = .4 A Ans .
