You are target shooting using a toy gun that fires a small ball at a speed of 15 m/s. When the gun is fired at an angle of 31 de

grees above horizontal, the ball hits the bull's-eye of a target at the same height as the gun. Then the target distance is halved.
At what angle must you aim the gun to hit the bull's-eye in its new position? (Mathematically there are two solutions to this problem; the physically reasonable answer is the smaller of the two.)

Answer: 13.1° from the horizontal

Explanation: For projectile

Horizontal distance R of a projectile is:

R= U×Usin2x/g

Where U is the speed of projectile, x is angle of projectile and g= acceleration due to gravity=9.8m/s

R= 15×15sin(2×31)/9.8= 225sin(62)/9.8=20.27m

Therefore if R is halved.

R/2 = 20.27/2=10.14m

Hence the angle for this case is.

Making sin(2x) the subject of formula

Sin2x= Rg/U×U

R is now 10.14 in this case.

Sin2x= 10.14×9.8/15×15=0.4415

2x=arcsin0.4415=26.2

x= 26.2/2

x= 13.1°

Good luck...

Answer:

v = 2.974

Explanation:

Perhaps the formula should be

v = √(2*g*d (sin(θ) - uk*cos(θ) )                    This is a bit easier to read.

v = √(2* 9.80*0.725(0.707 - 0.12*0.707) )   Substitute values. Find 2*g*d

v = √14.21 * (0.707 - 0.0849)                        Figure out Sin(θ) - uk cos(θ)  

v = √14.21 * (0.6222)

v = √8.8422                                                  Take the square root of the value

v = 2.974

Rama09 [41]

In triangle ABC

Sin5 = BC/AC

BC = (AC) Sin5

BC = (50) Sin5 = 4.36 cm

r = distance between the two balls = 2 BC = 2 x 4.36 = 8.72 cm = 0.0872 m

q = charge on each ball

m = mass of each ball = 5 g = 0.005 kg

electric force between the two balls is given as

F = \frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

using equilibrium of force in vertical direction

T Cos5 = mg eq-2

Using equilibrium of force in horizontal direction

T Sin5 = F eq-3

dividing eq-3 by eq-2

T Sin5 /(T Cos5) = F/mg

F = mg tan5

using eq-1

\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}} = mg tan5

inserting the values

\frac{(9 \times 10^{9})q^{2}}{(0.0872)^{2}} = 0.005 x 9.8

q = 2.03 x 10⁻⁷ C

sign of charge is same on both the balls. either it is negative or positive

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

48.6 N

Explanation:

rate of mass per second, dm/dt = 5 kg/s

Velocity, v = 35 km/hr = 9.72 m/s

Force acting on the plate

F = v x dm/dt

F = 9.72 x 5 = 48.6 N

Thus, the force acting on the plate is 48.6 N.
