Answer:

s = \frac{4}{d}

Explanation:

The image height ratio in the viewfinder to its lateral length (6 in) is equal to the pin height ratio (8/6 yards) to the pin distance (8/6 yards) in yards. so we can write:

\frac{s}{3} = \frac{\frac{8}{6}}{d}

s*d = \frac{8}{6}*3

s*d = 4

therefore, distance as function of s is express as

s = \frac{4}{d}

You wad up a piece of paper and throw it into the wastebasket. How far will
vitfil [10]

The range of the piece of paper is C) 1.4 m

Explanation:

The motion of the piece of paper is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant velocity

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with constant acceleration (the acceleration of gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2)

From the equation of motion, it is possible to find an expression for the range (the total horizontal distance covered) of a projectile, which is given by:

d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

where

u is the initial velocity

\theta is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the piece of paper in this problem,

u = 4.3 m/s

\theta=65^{\circ}

Substituting,

d=\frac{(4.3)^2 sin(2\cdot 65^{\circ})}{9.8}=1.45 m \sim 1.4 m

asambeis [7]
The acceleration is given as:

a = g sin(30°) where g is the gravitational acceleration

For g = 10 m/s^2, we get

a = 10 sin(30°) = 10 * 1/2 = 5 m/s^2

An archer draws her bow and stores 34.8 J of elastic potential energy in the bow. She releases the 63 g arrow, giving it an init
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Approximately 71\%.

Explanation:

The formula for the kinetic energy \rm KE of an object is:

\displaystyle \mathrm{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^2,

where

  • m is the mass of that object, and
  • v is the speed of that object.

Important: Joule (\rm J) is the standard unit for energy. The formula for \rm KE requires two inputs: mass and speed. The standard unit of mass is \rm kg while the standard unit for speed is \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. If both inputs are in standard units, then the output (kinetic energy) will also be in the standard unit (that is: joules,

Convert the unit of the arrow's mass to standard unit:

m = 63\; \rm g = 0.063\; \rm kg.

Initial \rm KE of this arrow:

\begin{aligned}\mathrm{KE} &= \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.063\; \rm kg \times \left(\rm 28 \; m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 \\ &\approx 24.696\; \rm J\end{aligned}.

That's the same as the energy output of this bow. Hence, the efficiency of energy transfer will be:

\displaystyle \frac{24.696\; \rm J}{34.8\; \rm J} \times 100\% \approx 71\%.
