A battleship simultaneously fires two shells toward two identical enemy ships. One shell hits ship A, which is close by, and the

other hits ship B, which is farther away. The two shells are fired at the same speed. Assume that air resistance is negligible and that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is .Now, consider both shells are fired at an angle greater than 45 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Remember that enemy ship A is closer than enemy ship BWhich shell is launched with a greater horizontal velocity, ?a. Ab. Bc. Both shells are launched with the same horizontal velocity.

Answer:

both cannonballs hit the ships with the same horizontal speed

Explanation:

Hello!

A parabolic motion is characterized in that its vertical component in Y is constantly changing, this is due to the constant downward acceleration of gravity.

When the movement starts the speed at Y is maximum, then when it reaches its maximum height point its speed is zero, and finally it begins to increase downwards until it touches the floor.

On the other hand, the horizontal speed remains constant AS THERE IS NO ACCELERATION IN HORIZONTAL DIRECTION.

therefore both cannonballs hit the ships with the same horizontal speed

A ball is thrown horizontally at a height of 2.2 meters at a velocity of 65m/s off a cliff. Assume no air resistance. How long u
slega [8]

The horizontal motion has no effect on the vertical drop.

From a drop, the distance the ball falls in 'T' seconds is

D = 4.9 T^2

so

2.2 = 4.9 T^2

T^2 = 2.2/4.9

T^2 = 0.449 sec^2

T = 0.67 second

Is the statement "An object always moves in the direction of the net force acting on it" true or false
Trava [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

This is because according to newtons second law which says the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. So take for example a net a net force in opposite direction will cause an object to slow down.

velocity vector here is not the same as acceleration vector

A bee wants to fly to a flower located due North of the hive on a windy day. The wind blows from East to West at speed 6.68 m/s.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:  53.31\° East of North

Explanation:

We have the following data:

Speed of the wind from East to West: 6.68 m/s

Speed of the bee relative to the air:  8.33 m/s

If we graph these speeds (which in fact are velocities because are vectors) in a vector diagram, we will have a right triangle in which the airspeed of the bee (its speed relative to te air) is the hypotense and the two sides of the triangle will be the <u>Speed of the wind from East to West</u> (in the horintal part) and the <u>speed due North relative to the ground</u> (in the vertical part).

Now, we need to find the direction the bee should fly directly to the flower (due North):

sin \theta=\frac{Windspeed-from-East-to-West}{Speed-bee-relative-to-air}

sin \theta=\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s}

Clearing \theta:

\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s})

\theta=53.31\°

A small rock is launched straight upward from the surface of a planet with no atmosphere. The initial speed of the rock is twice
Scorpion4ik [409]

If gravitational effects from other objects are negligible, the speed of the rock at a very great distance from the planet will approach a value of \sqrt{3} v_{e}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To express velocity which is too far from the planet and escape velocity by using the energy conservation, we get

Rock’s initial velocity , v_{i}=2 v_{e}. Here the radius is R, so find the escape velocity as follows,

            \frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=0

            \frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}=\frac{G M m}{R}

            v_{e}^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}

            v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}

Where, M = Planet’s mass and G = constant.

From given conditions,

Surface potential energy can be expressed as,  U_{i}=-\frac{G M m}{R}

R tend to infinity when far away from the planet, so v_{f}=0

Then, kinetic energy at initial would be,

                  k_{i}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{i}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}

Similarly, kinetic energy at final would be,

                k_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}

Here, v_{f}=\text { final velocity }

Now, adding potential and kinetic energies of initial and final and equating as below, find the final velocity as

                 U_{i}+k_{i}=k_{f}+v_{f}

                 \frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}+0

                  \frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}

'm' and \frac{1}{2} as common on both sides, so gets cancelled, we get as

                   4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{2 G M}{R}=v_{f}^{2}

We know, v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}, it can be wriiten as \left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}, we get

                4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=v_{f}^{2}

                v_{f}^{2}=3\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}

Taking squares out, we get,

                v_{f}=\sqrt{3} v_{e}
