Answer:

a = -5.66 \times 10^5 m/s^2

Explanation:

Here we know

initial speed will be

v_i = 450 m/s

final speed is

v_f = 220 m/s

total distance moved through it is given as

d = 14 cm

now we will use kinematics to find the acceleration

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

220^2 - 450^2 = 2(a)(0.14)

a = -5.66 \times 10^5 m/s^2

Okay, here is my stab at this, I hope it helps!

You know the bullet's initial velocity, V₀ = 450 m/s
You know the final velocity, V = 220 m/s
You also know how long the bullet accelerates (actually decelerates), 14cm, or .14 m

With this information, you learn that you need this equation.

V² = V₀² + 2a (x - x₀), because we have all the information except a, which is the acceleration. So putting it into the equation, it looks like this.

(220m/s)² = (450m/s)² +2a(.14m - 0m)

I'll let you solve the rest, but here are some hints.  Your answer will be really big because the bullet slows down really quickly in a really small distance, and you answer will be negative, because this acceleration is causing the bullet to go slower, which is also called deceleration. Hope that helps!

In a 1.25-T magnetic field directed vertically upward, a particle having a charge of magnitude 8.50μC and initially moving north
Goshia [24]

Answer:

a) The sign of the charge is positive.

b) The magnetic force on the particle is 0.050 newtons.

Explanation:

The magnetic force F on a moving charge with velocity v passing through a magnetic field B is:

\overrightarrow{F}=q\overrightarrow{v}\times\overrightarrow{B}(1)

a)

Because it is a cross product, we can find the direction of the force using the right-hand rule, that is too the direction of the movement. We have two possibilities here because the velocity vector and magnetic field are perpendicular: the particle deflects towards east or toward west, which depends on the charge of the particle. Note that if you put your right hand fingers, except thumb, pointing towards north (direction of velocity) and later close them in the direction of the magnetic field, if you maintain your thumb perpendicular to this movement it will point towards east (See figure), so that will be de direction of the force if the charge is positive, but if the charge is negative, the direction will be opposite (towards west). So the charge has to be positive to deflects towards east.

b)

Now by 1:

F=qvB\sin\theta=(8.50\times10^{-6})(4750)(1.25)\sin90\simeq\mathbf{0.050\,N}

Steam at 0.6 MPa, 200 oC, enters an insulated nozzle with a velocity of 50 m/s. It leaves at a pressure of 0.15 MPa and a veloci
Rudiy27

Answer:

x2 = 0.99

Explanation:

from superheated water table

at pressure p1 = 0.6MPa and temperature 200 degree celcius

h1 = 2850.6 kJ/kg

From energy equation we have following relation

\dot m( h1+\frac{v1^2}{2}+ gz1 )+ Q = \dot m( h2+\frac{v2^2}{2}+ gz1) + W

\dot m( h1+\frac{v1^2}{2}) = \dot m( h2+\frac{v2^2}{2})

h1+\frac{v1^2}{2} = h2+\frac{v2^2}{2}

2850.6 + [\frac{50^2}{2} * \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/S^2}] = h2 +[ \frac{600^2}{2} * \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/S^2}]

h2 = 2671.85 kJ/kg

from superheated water table

at pressure p2 = 0.15MPa

specific enthalpy of fluid hf = 467.13 kJ/kg

enthalpy change hfg = 2226.0 kJ/kg

specific enthalpy of the saturated gas hg = 2693.1 kJ/kg

as it can be seen from above value hf>h2>hg, so phase 2 is two phase region. so we have

quality of steam x2

h2 = hf + x2(hfg)

2671.85 = 467.13 +x2*2226.0

x2 = 0.99

A 1 200-kg car traveling initially at vCi 5 25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the back of a 9 000-kg truck moving i
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after the collision is 20.93 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car, m₁ = 1200 kg

Initial velocity of the car, v_{Ci}=25\ m/s

Mass of truck, m₂ = 9000 kg

Initial velocity of the truck, v_{Ti}=20\ m/s

After the collision, velocity of the car, v_{Cf}=18\ m/s

Let v is the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision. The momentum of the system remains conversed.

initial\ momentum=final\ momentum

1200\ kg\times 25\ m/s+9000\ kg\times 20\ m/s=1200\ kg\times 18+9000\ kg\times v

210000-21600=9000\ kg\times v

v=20.93\ m/s

So, the velocity of the truck after the collision is 20.93 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
