The late news reports the story of a shooting in the city. Investigators think that they have recovered the weapon and they run

ballistics tests on the pistol at the firing range. If a 0.050-kg bullet were fired from the handgun with a speed of 400 m/s and it traveled 0.080 m into the target before coming to rest, what force did the bullet exert on the target?

Answer:

50000 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of bullet = 0.050 kg

velocity (v) = 400 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.080 m

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the bullet. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 400 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.080 m

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

400² = 0 + (2 × a × 0.08)

160000 = 0 + 0.16a

160000 = 0.16a

Divide both side by 0.16

a = 160000 / 0.16

a = 1×10⁶ m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the force exerted by the bullet on the target. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of bullet = 0.050 kg

Acceleration (a) of bullet = 1×10⁶ m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 0.050 × 1×10⁶

F = 50000 N

Thus, the bullet exerted a force of 50000 N on the target.

dexar [7]

Answer:

t = 25 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 115 m

Initial speed, u = 4.2 m/s

Final speed, v = 5 m/s

We need to find the time taken in increasing the speed.

We know that,

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{v-u}{t} ....(1)

The third equation of kinematics is as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\\text{Put the value of a in above equation}\\\\v^2-u^2=2\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times d\\\\\because (a^2-b^2)=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\(v-u)(v+u)=\dfrac{2\times (v-u)d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{2d}{v+u}\\\\\text{Putting all the values}\\\\t=\dfrac{2\times 115}{4.2+5}\\\\t=25\ s

Hence, it will take 25 seconds to increase the speed.

padilas [110]

Answer:

 a)    λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m  b)    λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

The diffraction network is described by the expression

      d sin θ= m λ

Where m corresponds to the diffraction order

Let's use trigonometry to find the breast

        tan θ = y / L

The diffraction spectrum is measured at very small angles, therefore

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

We replace

      d y / L = m λ

Let's place in the first order m = 1

Let's look for the separation of the lines (d)

     d = λ  L / y

     d = 501 10⁻⁹ 9.95 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

     d = 332.33 10⁻⁹ m

Now we can look for the wavelength of the other line

     λ  = d y / L

    λ  = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 8.55 10⁻²/15 10⁻²

    λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m

Part B

The compound wavelength B

      λ  = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 12.15 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

      λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

A ball is thrown with a velocity of 35 meters per second at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. which quantity has a magnitude
enot [183]
The quantity that has a magnitude of zero when the ball is at the highest point in its trajectory is the vertical velocity.

In fact, the motion of the ball consists of two separate motions:
- the horizontal motion, on the x-axis, which is a uniform motion with constant velocity v_x=v_0 cos 30^{\circ}, where v_0=35 m/s
- the vertical motion, on the y-axis, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2 directed downwards, and with initial velocity v_y=v_= sin 30^{\circ}. Due to the presence of the acceleration g on the vertical direction (pointing in the opposite direction of the initial vertical velocity), the vertical velocity of the ball decreases as it goes higher, up to a point where it becomes zero and it reverses its direction: when the vertical velocity becomes zero, the ball has reached its maximum height.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

red has a longer wavelength than yellow. Yellow has a longer wavelength than green.

Explanation

in the visible spectrum a color with high frequency  contains shorter wavelength.In this case red color has high wavelength followed by yellow followed by green,blue and violet.

inn [45]

Answer:twice of initial value

Explanation:

Given

spring compresses x_1 distance for some initial speed

Suppose v is the initial speed and k be the spring constant

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy converted into spring Elastic potential energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_1^2----1

When speed doubles

\dfrac{1}{2}m(2v)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_2^2----2

divide 1 and 2

\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}

x_2=2x_1

Therefore spring compresses twice the initial value
