The moon doesn't fall to earth because of it's friction?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The Moon does not fall towards Earth right now because Earth rotates itself. The energy from the Earth's own rotation around its axis is gradually tranferred into energy of the Moon's orbital motion. That's why the Earth's rotating speed decreases but the distance to the Moon increases.

A bullet is shot horizontally from shoulder height (1.5 m) with an initial speed 200 m/s. (a) How much time elapses before the b

guapka [62]

<h2>Answer: (a)t=0.553s, (b)x=110.656m</h2>

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the bullet has two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=200m/s$ is the bullet's initial speed

$\theta=0$ because we are told the bullet is shot horizontally

$t$ is the time since the bullet is shot until it hits the ground

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=1.5m$ is the initial height of the bullet

$y=0$ is the final height of the bullet (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Now, for the first part of this problem, the time the bullet elapsed traveling, we will use equation (2) with the conditions given above:

$0=1.5m+200m/s.sin(0) t-\frac{9.8m/s^{2}.t^{2}}{2}$ (3)

$0=1.5m-\frac{9.8m/s^{2}.t^{2}}{2}$ (4)

Finding $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{1.5m(2)}{9.8m/s^{2}}}$ (5)

Then we have the time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground:

$t=0.553s$ (6)

For the second part of this problem, we are asked to find how far does the bullet traveled horizontally. This means we have to use the equation (1) related to the x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Substituting the knonw values and the value of $t$ found in (6):

$x=200m/s.cos(0)(0.553s)$ (7)
