Gas guns are used to investigate the properties of materi- als subjected to high-velocity impacts. A projectile is accelerated through the barrel of the gun by gas at high pressure. Assume that the acceleration of the projectile in m/s² is given by a = c/s, where s is the position of the projectile in the barrel in meters and c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The projectile starts from rest at s = 1.5 m and acceler- ates until it reaches the end of the barrel at s = 3 m. Determine the value of the constant c necessary for the projectile to leave the barrel with a velocity of 200 m/s.
A gun is fired straight up. Assuming that the air drag on the bullet varies quadratically with speed, show that the speed varies with height according to the equations = Aea - (upward motton) o =- Be (downward motion) in which A and B are constants of integration, g is the acceleration of gravity, and k = cgm where c, is the drag constant and m is the mass of the bullet (Note: x is measured positive upward, and the gravitational force is assumed to be constant.)
A car passes over a hill as shown. Determine the following. a. Equation for the maximum speed of the car and still maintain contact with the road (in terms of r and g) b. Traveling at the same speed, what is the equation for the normal reaction of the road to the car when it passes the lowest point? If r = 50 m, determine the maximum speed in mph without catching air. The maximum normal force in Newtons at the low point if the car weighs 3000 lbs c. d. r + r
