Chapter 1: Q5DQ (page 92)

At the instant that you fire a bullet horizontally from a rifle, you drop a bullet from the height of the gun barrel. If there is no air resistance, which bullet hits the level ground first? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Both the bullets will hit the ground at the same time.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of projectile.

A projectile is an entity that is fired with a certain beginning velocity and is permitted to move in two dimensions under the effect of gravity alone.

02

Determination of bullet which hits the level ground first

The trajectory of the bullet is given by,

In the xand y dimensions, motion along the illustrated trajectory may be divided into two perpendicular components. These movements are unrelated to one another. As a result, particles launched horizontally from A and dropped from A will take the same amount of time to reach the earth. In other terms, the time it takes to fall from a specific height will be completely independent of the starting velocity's direction.

Thus, both the bullets will hit the ground at the same time.

A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road such that its distance from the light is given byxt=bt2-ct3, whereb=2.40m/s2andc=0.120m/s3. (a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t = 0 to t = 10.0 s. (b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 0, t = 5.0 s, and t = 10.0 s. (c) How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?

Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury鈥檚 orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury鈥檚 precession has been explained by general relativity.)

The acceleration of a particle is given by ax(t)=鈭�2.00鈥�m/s2+(3.00鈥�m/s3)t. (a) Find the initial velocityv0xsuch that the particle will have the same x-coordinate att=4.00鈥�sas it had att=0. (b) What will be the velocity att=4.00鈥�s?

A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of22.0 m/s from the edge of the roof of a 30.0-m-tall building. Therock doesn鈥檛 hit the building on its way back down and lands onthe street below. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the speed of therock just before it hits the street? (b) How much time elapses fromwhen the rock is thrown until it hits the street?
