A soldier is tasked with measuring the muzzle velocity of a new rifle. Knowing the principles of projectile motion, he decides to perform a simple experiment at the indoor firing range. The soldier hangs a target a distance of d = 103 m from the end of the barrel. The rifle is mounted so that the bullet exits moving horizontally at the same height as the bullseye. After several trials, the soldier finds that the bullet strikes the target an...
1. A train at a constant 62.0 km/h moves east for 32.0 min, then in a direction 46.0° east of due north for 29.0 min, and then west for 42.0 min. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to east) of its average velocity during this trip? 2. A cart is propelled over an XX plane with acceleration components ax 5.5 m/s2 and ay = -2.3 m/s. Its initial velocity has components vox = 9.3 m/s and voy...
