Chapter 2: 22 PE (page 82)

A bullet in a gun is accelerated from the firing chamber to the end of the barrel at an average rate of\({\bf{6}}{\bf{.20 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{5}}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\)for\({\bf{8}}{\bf{.10 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 4}}}}\;{\bf{s}}\). What is its muzzle velocity (that is, its final velocity)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The muzzle velocity of bullet is \(502.2\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Determination of formula for muzzle velocity of bullet

Given Data:

The initial velocity of bullet is\(u = 0\)

The time for acceleration of bullet is\(t = 8.10 \times {10^{ - 4}}\;{\rm{s}}\)

The acceleration for bullet is\(a = 6.20 \times {10^5}\;{\rm{m}}/{{\rm{s}}^2}\)

The muzzle velocity of the bullet is found by using the first equation of motion and by considering the initial velocity of bullet as zero.

The muzzle velocity of ball is given as

\(v = u + at\)

Here, \(v\) is the muzzle velocity of bullet.

02

Determination of muzzle velocity of bullet

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\(\begin{array}{l}v = 0 + \left( {6.20 \times {{10}^5}\;{\rm{m}}/{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\left( {8.10 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}\;{\rm{s}}} \right)\\v = 502.2\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the muzzle velocity of bullet is \(502.2\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\).

A cheetah can accelerate from rest to a speed of 30.0 m/s in 7.00 s. What is its acceleration?

Give an example (but not one from the text) of a device used to measure time and identify what change in that device indicates a change in time.

A well-thrown ball is caught in a well-padded mitt. If the deceleration of the ball is\({\bf{2}}{\bf{.10 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{4}}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\), and 1.85 ms (\({\bf{1}}\;{\bf{ms = 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 3}}}}\;{\bf{s}}\)) elapses from the time the ball first touches the mitt until it stops, what was the initial velocity of the ball?

A soft tennis ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of \[{\bf{1}}.{\bf{50}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{m}}\]and rebounds to a height of\[{\bf{1}}.{\bf{10}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{m}}\]. (a) Calculate its velocity just before it strikes the floor. (b) Calculate its velocity just after it leaves the floor on its way back up. (c) Calculate its acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts\[{\bf{3}}.{\bf{50}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{ms}}{\rm{ }}\left( {{\bf{3}}.{\bf{50}} \times {\bf{1}}{{\bf{0}}^{ - {\bf{3}}}}{\bf{s}}} \right)\]. (d) How much did the ball compress during its collision with the floor, assuming the floor is absolutely rigid?

Construct the displacement graph for the subway shuttle train as shown in Figure 2.18(a). Your graph should show the position of the train, in kilometres, from t = 0 to 20 s You will need to use the information on acceleration and velocity given in the examples for this figure.
