Mass, m = 4g = 0.004 kg
Velocity, = 50cm/s = 0.5m/s
Distance, 10cm = 0.1m
The wall would have to resist the energy acquired by the bullet.

Kenetic Energy of bullet = Resistance offered by the wall.

1/2 mv² = Resistance Force * Distance

(1/2) * 0.04 * 0.5 * 0.5 = F * 0.1

0.5 * 0.04 * 0.5 * 0.5 = F * 0.1

0.5 * 0.04 * 0.5 * 0.5/0.1 = F

0.05 = F

Therefore, Resistance offered by the wall = 0.05 N

This problem follows up on a discussion from lecture. A wind turbine with an efficiency of 45% for converting wind energy into e

Volgvan

Answer:

4.1 m

Explanation:

10 kW = 10000 W

20mi/h = 20*1.6 km/mi = 32 km/h = 32 * 1000 (m/km) *(1/3600) hr/s = 8.89 m/s

The power yielded by the wind turbine can be calculated using the following formula

$P = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^3 A C_p$

where $\rho = 1.2 kg/m^3$ is the air density, v = 8.89 m/s is the wind speed, A is the swept area and $C_p = 0.45$ is the efficiency

$10000 = 0.5 * 1.2 * 8.89^3 * A * 0.45$

$10000 = 190A$

$A = 10000 / 190 = 52.7 m^2$

The swept area is a circle with radius r being the blade length

$\pi r^2 = A = 52.7$

$r^2 = 52.7 / \pi = 16.79$

$r = \sqrt{16.79} = 4.1 m$

What are three observations an astronaut might make while viewing Russia at night

Lunna [17]

1. Physical size of Russia compared to other countries, despite a lack of visible borders from space.

2. Part of Russia's outline would likely be obscured by the various clouds and objects in the stratosphere; this would allow the astronaut to view potential cloud and weather patterns on earth.

3. An astronaut could see outlines of Russia's geography such as mountain ranges.

Hope that it helps :)

A uniformly charged spherical droplet of mercury has electric potential Vbig throughout the droplet. The droplet then breaks int

mezya [45]

Answer:

$\frac{V_{big}}{V_{small}} = n^{2/3}$

Explanation:

Let the total charge on the big drop is given as Q

now if the radius of the drop is R then electric potential of the big drop is given as

$V_{big} = \frac{KQ}{R}$

Now if it break into n identical drops

then let the charge on each drop is "q" and radius is "r"

by volume conservation

$\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 = n(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)$

$r = \frac{R}{n^{1/3}}$

now we have potential of smaller drop given as

$V_{small} = \frac{kq}{r}$

$V_{small} = \frac{K(Q/n)}{\frac{R}{n^{1/3}}}$

$V_{small} = \frac{1}{n^{2/3}}\frac{KQ}{R}$

$\frac{V_{big}}{V_{small}} = n^{2/3}$

In fighting forest fires, airplanes work in support of ground crews by dropping water on the fires. For practice, a pilot drops

Brut [27]

Answer:

$s=274.2857\ m$ is the distance from the target before which the pilot must release the canister.

Explanation:

Given:

height of the plane, $h=90\ m$

horizontal speed of plane, $v_x=64\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Time taken by the canister to hit the ground:</u>

using equation of motion

$h=u_y.t+\frac{1}{2} g.t^2$

where:

$u_y=$ initial vertical velocity of the canister = 0 (since the the object is dropped from a horizontally moving plane)

$t=$ time taken to hit the ground

$90=0+0.5\times 9.8\times t^2$

$t=4.2857\ s$

<u>Now the horizontal distance travelled by the canister after dropping:</u>

$s=v_x\times t$

$s=64\times 4.2857$

$s=274.2857\ m$ is the distance from the target before which the pilot must release the canister.
