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 mammals, the weight of the heart is approximately 0.5% of the total body weight. Write a linear model that gives the heart we
jekas [21]

Answer:

The weight of heart of a human is 0.93 lbs.

Explanation:

Given that,

Approximately weight of heart is 0.5 % of the total body weight.

Weight of human = 185 lbs

Let the the weight of total body is w and weight of heart is w_{h}.

We need to calculate the weight of heart of a human

Using given data

w_{h}=0.5\times w

Where, h = weight of heart

w = weight of human

w_{h}=\dfrac{0.5}{100}\times 185

w_{h}=0.93\ lbs

Hence, The weight of heart of a human is 0.93 lbs.

Mt. Asama, Japan, is an active volcano complex. In 2009, an eruption threw solid volcanic rocks that landed far from the crater.
solong [7]

Answer:u=97.41m/s

Explanation:

Given

inclination \theta =58.7^{\circ}C

Horizontal distance travel by Particle d=1200 m

Vertical height h=780 m

Let u be the initial velocity

calculating vertical distance

y=u\sin \theta +\frac{at^2}{2}

y=u\sin \theta t-\frac{gt^2}{2}-------1

Calculating horizontal distance

x=u\cos \theta \times t+0

t=\frac{x}{u\cos \theta }

put value of t in equation 1

y=u\sin \theta \times \frac{x}{u\cos \theta }-\frac{g}{2}\times (\frac{x}{u\cos \theta })^2

y=x\tan \theta -\frac{gx^2}{2u^2\cos ^2\theta }

\frac{gx^2}{2u^2\cos ^2\theta }=x\tan \theta -y

u^2=\frac{gx^2}{2cos^2\theta (x\tan \theta -y)}

u=\sqrt{\frac{gx^2}{2cos^2\theta (x\tan \theta -y)}}

at y=-780\ m\ x=1200 m

u^2=\frac{18.154}{2753.65}\times 1200^2

u=97.41 m/s

A car is traveling at 120 km/h (75 mph). When applied the braking system can stop the car with a deceleration rate of 9.0 m/s2.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V  = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s

Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec

Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec

extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec

now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver  will be'

S_d = V × 2.2 sec

S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec

S_d = 73.3333 m

hence, number of car of additional car length  n will be;

n = S_n / car length

n = 73.3333 m / 5m

n = 14.666 ≈ 15

Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15
