Answer:

The rise in temperature is 0.06 K.

Explanation:

mass of bullet, m = 15 g

initial speed, u = 865 m/s

final speed, v = 534 m/s

mass of water, M = 13.5 kg

specific heat of water, c = 4200 J/kg K

The change in kinetic energy

K = 0.5 m(u^2 - v^2)\\\\K = 0.5\times 0.015\times (865^2-534^2)\\\\K = 3473 J

According to the conservation of energy, the change in kinetic energy is used to heat the water.

K = m c T

where, T is the rise in temperature.

3473 = 13.5 x 4200 x T

T = 0.06 K

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

a= Vo²/(2X₁)

Fr= mVo²/(2X₁)

Explanation:

Given that

Initial velocity = Vo

As we know that friction always tried to oppose the motion of the object.That is why acceleration due to friction acts opposite to the motion of the object.Lets take acceleration is a.

We also know that

v²=u²+ 2 a s

v=final speed

u=initial speed

a= acceleration

s= distance

Here given that final speed is zero.

So

0²=Vo² - 2 x a x X₁  ( negative sign because acceleration in the opposite to the displacement)

a= Vo²/(2X₁)

So the average friction force Fr

Fr= m a

Fr= mVo²/(2X₁)

A 10 m long high tension power line carries a current of 20 A perpendicular to Earth's magnetic field of 5.5 x10⁻⁵ T. What is th
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of tension wire is 10m

L = 10m

It caries a current of 10A

I = 10A

The current is perpendicular to the magnetic field

B = 5.5 × x10⁻⁵ T.

Then, θ = 90°

The magnetic force that act on the line is?

F = i(L × B)

L × B = LB Sinθ

Where

I is the current

L is the length of the wire

B is the magnetic field

θ is the angle between the field and the direction of the length.

Then,

F = I × L × B × Sinθ

F = 10 × 10 × 5.5 × x10⁻⁵ × Sin 90

F = 5.5 × x10⁻³ N

Then, the magnetic force experience on the line is 5.5 × x10⁻³N

A celebrating student throws a water balloon horizontally from a dormitory window that is 50 m above the ground. It hits the gro
Contact [7]

Answer:

a) The horizontal velocity of the balloon just before it hits the ground is 6 m/s

b) The magnitude of the vertical velocity of the balloon just before it hits the ground is 98 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The velocity and position vectors of the water balloon are given by the following equations:

r =(x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v =(v0x, v0y + g · t)

where:

r = position vector at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical position.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward position as positive) .

v = velocity vector at time t.

a) Please, see the attached figure for a graphic description of the problem.

Considering the origin of the frame of reference as the point of launch, notice that the position vector when the balloon hits the ground is

r1 = (60, -50) m

Then:

r1x = 60 m = v0x · t

r1y = -50 m = 1/2 · (-9.8 m/s²) · t²

(notice that the initial vertical velocity is zero, see figure).

Solving r1y for t:

(-50 m · 2) / -9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 10 s

Now, let´s replace t in the r1x equation and solve it for the horizontal component of the velocity:

60 m = v0x · 10 s

v0x = 60 m / 10 s

v0x = 6 m/s

The initial horizontal component of the velocity is 6 m/s. This velocity is constant because there is no air resistance. Then, just before the balloon hits the ground, it will have a horizontal velocity of 6 m/s.

b) To calculate the vertical component of the velocity when the balloon hits the ground, let´s use the equation of the vertical component of the velocity:

v1y = v0y + g · t

Since v0y = 0

v1y = -9.8 m/s² · (10 s) = -98 m/s

The magnitude of the vertical velocity of the balloon when it hits the ground is 98 m/s.

If you're swimming underwater and knock two rocks together, you will hear a very loud noise. But if your friend above the water
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The air-water interface is an example of<em> </em>boundary. The <u><em>transmitted</em></u><em> </em> portion of the initial wave energy is way smaller than the <u><em>reflected</em></u><em> </em> portion. This makes the <u><em>boundary</em></u>  wave hard to hear.

When both the source of the sound and your ears are located underwater, the sound is louder because the sound waves can <u><em>travel directly to your ear</em></u>.

Explanation:

The air-to-water sound wave transmission is inhibited because more of reflection than transmission of the wave occurs at the boundary. In the end, only about 30% of the sound wave eventually reaches underwater. For sound generated underwater, all the wave energy is transmitted directly to the observer. Sound wave travel faster in water than in air because, the molecules of water are more densely packed together, and hence can easily transmit their vibration to their neighboring molecules, when compared to air.
