- 4. A bullet fired horizontally from a gun is travelling at 250 m/s. The velocity of the bullet at any time t, in seconds, can be represented by v(t)=250-2t³. Assume the bullet is affected by air resistance but not gravity. How long will the bullet be in the air before it stops due to air resistance? a. b. How far will the bullet travel before it stops? Record your answer as an exact value.arrow_forwardAn FBI Tactical Operations Team agent uses a high tech sling shot to launch an object from the roof of Building A. She hopes that the object will land on the roof of Building B. There is a 5.00 m wide alley between the two buildings, as shown in the figure. At the instant of its launch, the object has an initial velocity of 6.72 m/s directed 30 degrees above the horizontal. At the instant of its launch, the object is located 0.400 m above the roof of Building A, at a horizontal distance of 0.500 m from the edge of Building A, and 2.00 m above the level of the roof of Building B, as shown in the Figure.

The figure below shows a portion of the path traveled by the helicopter, as viewed looking down from above. The helicopter's path includes three straight portions between points "1" and "2", points "4" and "5", and points "7" and "8", each of which has a length of 4000 m, as shown in the figure. It takes the helicopter 2000 seconds to travel along each of these straight portions of its path.

- Young Hector launches a 200 gram block uphill on a frictionless ramp which is tilted at 30 degrees with the horizontal, as shown in the Figure. At the instant of its launch, the block is moving uphill at 4.00 m/s. Hector observes as the block travels a distance of 50.0 cm uphill on the ramp. In the following, consider the period of time during which the block moves uphill through the 50.0 cm distance shown in the Figure. For simplicity, assume that g = 9.80 m/2. d (50.0 cm) 4.00 m/s h 30°arrow_forward1. You are driving at 8.00 m/s south. You accelerate uniformly at 1.10 m/s? north for 5.00 seconds.
