The maximum altitude that the bullet will reach is the point at which its velocity is zero. The equation that may be used in order to determine the altitude is,

<span> D = ((Vi)2 – (Vf)2)/2g</span>

Where Vi and Vf are the initial and final velocities, respectively. g is the deceleration due to gravity.

Substituting the known values,

<span> D = ((700 m/s)2 – (0 m/s)2) / (2(-9.8 m/s2))</span>

<span> D = 25000 m</span>

Thus, the maximum height is 25000 m.

For the time needed to reach it, we use the equation,

<span> Vf = Vi – (g)(t)</span>

Substituting,

<span> 0 = 700 m/s – (-9.8 m/s2)(t)</span>

The value of t is equal to 71.43 s.

In the Daytona 500 auto race, a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercedes Benz are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.0 m/s. Th

Answer:

The distance between both cars is 990 m

Explanation:

The equations for the position and the velocity of an object moving in a straight line are as follows:

x = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a * t²

v = v0 + a * t

where:

x = position of the car at time "t"

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial speed

t = time

a = acceleration

v = velocity

First let´s find how much time it takes the driver to come to stop (v = 0). We will consider the origin of the reference system as the point at which the driver realizes she must stop. Then x0 = 0

With the equation of velocity, we can obtain the acceleration and replace it in the equation of position, knowing that the position will be 250 m at that time.

v = v0 + a*t

v-v0 / t = a

0 m/s - 71.0 m/s / t =a

-71.0 m/s / t = a

Replacing in the equation for position:

x = v0* t +1/2 * a * t²

250 m = 71.0 m/s * t + 1/2 *(-71.0 m/s / t) * t²

250 m = 71.0 m/s * t - 1/2 * 71.0 m/s * t

250m = 1/2 * 71.0m/s *t

<u>t = 2 * 250 m / 71.0 m/s = 7.04 s</u>

It takes the driver 7.04 s to stop.

Then, we can calculate how much time it took the driver to reach her previous speed. The procedure is the same as before:

v = v0 + a*t

v-v0 / t = a now v0 = 0 and v = 71.0 m/s

(71.0 m/s - 0 m/s) / t = a

71.0 m/s / t =a

Replacing in the position equation:

x = v0* t +1/2 * a * t²

390 m = 0 m/s * t + 1/2 * 71.0 m/s / t * t² (In this case, the initial position is in the pit, then x0 = 0 because it took 390 m from the pit to reach the initial speed).

390m * 2 / 71.0 m/s = t

<u>t = 11.0 s</u>

In total, it took the driver 11.0s + 5.00 s + 7.04 s = 23.0 s to stop and to reach the initial speed again.

In that time, the Mercedes traveled the following distance:

x = v * t = 71.0 m/s * 23.0 s = 1.63 x 10³ m

The Thunderbird traveled in that time 390 m + 250 m = 640 m.

The distance between the two will be then:

<u>distance between both cars = 1.63 x 10³ m - 640 m = 990 m. </u>

This is really urgent

20) When light passes from air to glass and then to air

21) When a light ray enters a medium with higher optical density, it bends towards the normal

22) Index of refraction describes the optical density

23) Light travels faster in the material with index 1.1

24) Glass refracts light more than water

25) Index of refraction is $n=\frac{c}{v}$

26) Critical angle: $[tex]sin \theta_c = \frac{n_2}{n_1}$ [/tex]

27) Critical angle is larger for the glass-water interface

Explanation:

20)

It is possible to slow down light and then speed it up again by making light passing from a medium with low optical density (for example, air) into a medium with higher optical density (for example, glass), and then make the light passing again from glass to air.

This phenomenon is known as refraction: when a light wave crosses the interface between two different mediums, it changes speed (and also direction). The speed decreases if the light passes from a medium at lower optical density to a medium with higher optical density, and viceversa.

21)

The change in direction of light when it passes through the boundary between two mediums is given by Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

with

$n_1, n_2$ are the refractive index of 1st and 2nd medium

$\theta_1, \theta_2$ are the angle of incidence and refraction (the angle between the incident ray (or refracted ray) and the normal to the boundary)

The larger the optical density of the medium, the larger the value of n, the smaller the angle: so, when a light ray enters a medium with higher optical density, it bends towards the normal.

22)

The index of refraction describes the optical density of a medium. More in detail:

A high index of refraction means that the material has a high optical density, which means that light travels more slowly into that medium
A low index of refraction means that the material has a low optical density, which means that light travels faster into that medium

Be careful that optical density is a completely different property from density.

23)

As we said in part 22), the index of refraction describes the optical density of a medium.

In this case, we have:

A material with refractive index of 1.1
A material with refractive index of 2.2

As we said previously, light travels faster in materials with a lower refractive index: therefore in this case, light travels more quickly in material 1, which has a refractive index of only 1.1, than material 2, whose index of refraction is much higher (2.2).

24)

Rewriting Snell's law,

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$ (1)

For light moving from air to water:

$n_1 \sim 1.00$ is the index of refraction of air

$n_2 = 1.33$ is the index of refraction ofwater

In this case, $\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{1.00}{1.33}=0.75$

For light moving from air to glass,

$n_2 = 1.51$ is the index of refraction of glass

And so

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{1.00}{1.51}=0.66$

From eq.(1), we see that the angle of refraction $\theta_2$ is smaller in the 2nd case: so glass refracts light more than water, because of its higher index of refraction.

25)

The index of refraction of a material is

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in the material

So, the index of refraction is inversely proportional to the speed of light in the material:

The higher the index of refraction, the slower the light
The lower the index of refraction, the faster the light

26)

From Snell's law,

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

We notice that when light moves from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, $n_1 > n_2$ , so $\frac{n_1}{n_2}>1$ , and since $sin \theta_2$ cannot be larger than 1, there exists a maximum value of the angle of incidence $\theta_c$ (called critical angle) above which refraction no longer occurs: in this case, the incident light ray is completely reflected into the original medium 1, and this phenomenon is called total internal reflection.

The value of the critical angle is given by

$sin \theta_c = \frac{n_2}{n_1}$

For angles of incidence above this value, total internal reflection occurs.

27)

Using:

$sin \theta_c = \frac{n_2}{n_1}$

For the interface glass-air,

$n_1 \sim 1.51\\n_2 = 1.00$

The critical angle is

$\theta_c = sin^{-1}(\frac{n_2}{n_1})=sin^{-1}(\frac{1.00}{1.51})=41.5^{\circ}$

For the interface glass-water,

$n_1 \sim 1.51\\n_2 = 1.33$

The critical angle is

$\theta_c = sin^{-1}(\frac{n_2}{n_1})=sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.51})=61.7^{\circ}$

So, the critical angle is larger for the glass-water interface.

what is the acceleration of a bowling ball that starts at rest and moves 300m down the gutter in 22.4 sec

exis [7]

<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time taken. It has both magnitude and direction. In this problem, the change in velocity would first have to be calculated. Velocity is distance divided by time. Therefore, the velocity here would be 300 m divided by 22.4 seconds. This gives a velocity of 13.3928 m/s. Since acceleration is velocity divided by time, it would be 13.3928 divided by 22.4, giving a final solution of 0.598 m/s^2.</span>

John is going to use a rope to pull his sister Laura across the ground in a sled through the snow. He is pulling horizontally wi

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The mass of Laura and the sled combined is 887.5 kg

Explanation:

The total force due to weight of Laura and friction on the sled can be calculated as follows;

$F_T = F_L+F_S$

= (400 + 310) N

= 710 N

From Newton's second law of motion, "the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force.

$F_T = \frac{(M_L+M_S)V}{t}$

where;

$M_L$ is mass of Laura and

$M_S$ is mass of sled

Mass of Laura and the sled combined is calculated as follows;

$(M_L+M_S) = \frac{F_T*t}{V}$

given

V = Δv = 4-0 = 4m/s

t = 5 s

$(M_L+M_S) = \frac{710*5}{4}\\\\(M_L+M_S) = 887.5 kg$

Therefore, the mass of Laura and the sled combined is 887.5 kg
