- A rock is thrown horizontally off a 56.0-m-high cliff overlooking the ocean, and the sound of the splash is heard 3.60 s later. If the speed of sound in air at this location is 343 m/s, what was the initial velocity of the rock?arrow_forwardFrequently, a weapon must be fired at a target that is closer than the weapons maximum range. To hit such a target, a weapon has two possible launch angles (Fig. P4.68A): one higher than 45 (H) and one lower than 45 (L). Although the displacement of the projectile is the same for the two angles, a projectile launched at H has a longer flight time and a higher peak position than one launched at L. Usually, some tactical situation makes one angle preferable to the other. For example, if the projectile must go over some nearby object such as a grove of trees, the higher angle may be desirable. A shorter flight time and therefore L are preferable if the target is mobile. In practice, many weapons are designed to operate either at angles lower than 45 or at angles higher than 45, but not both. Tanks, for example, often must face mobile targets; to minimize the time the target has to move, tanks fire at low angles. Grenades, on the other hand, are launched at high angles because a soldier launching a grenade is often close to the target, but has no armor plating for protection. The high launch angle allows the soldier to stay out of sight by hiding behind some obstacle, and the longer flight time may make it possible for the soldier to move farther from the exploding grenade. FIGURE P4.68 Imagine an unusual scenario in which a large gun mounted on a vehicle is required to hit an explosives factory (Fig. P4.68B). A huge explosion is expected, and there must be time for the gunner to retreat. A grove of trees provides cover. The maximum range of the gun is 17.6 km, and the maximum speed of the vehicle is 80.0 km/h. a. What is the muzzle speed v0? (Muzzle speed is the speed at which the projectile leaves the barrel of the gun.) b. The target is 5.5 km away. Find the low angle L and the high angle H at which the gunner may aim so as to hit the target. c. Find the time the projectile takes to hit the target for both angles. d. Assume the vehicle retreats at its maximum speed (80.0 km/h) to be as far from the ensuing explosion as possible. How far is it from the factory at the time of the explosion for each launch angle?arrow_forwardIf a particles speed is always increasing, what are the possible angles between the particles velocity and acceleration?arrow_forward
- A During the battle of Bunker Hill, Colonel William Prescott ordered the American Army to bombard the British Army camped near Boston.
