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!

Trace fossils are recognized as evidence of which pre-existing life? plants plants and animals neither plants nor animals animal
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

a fossil of a footprint, trail, burrow, or other trace of an animal rather than of the animal itself.

Explanation:

Trace fossils are the indirect evidence of life in the past, such as the footprints, tracks, burrows, borings, and feces left behind by animals, rather than the preserved remains of the actual animal body itself.

Fossil is the naturally preserved remains of plants and animals which somehow get trapped in amber, hair, petrified wood, oil, coal, and DNA remnants.

B. A hydraulic jack has a ram of 20 cm diameter and a plunger of 3 cm diameter. It is used for lifting a weight of 3 tons. Find
lozanna [386]

Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

According to the Pascal's law

F / A = f / a

Where, F is the force on ram, A be the area of ram, f be the force on plunger and a be the area of plunger.

Diameter of ram, D = 20 cm, R = 20 / 2 = 10 cm

A = π R^2 = π x 100 cm^2

F = 3 tons = 3000 kgf

diameter of plunger, d = 3 cm, r = 1.5 cm

a = π x 2.25 cm^2

Use Pascal's law

3000 / π x 100 = f / π x 2.25

f = 67.5 Kgf

A 10kg rocket is traveling at 80 m/s when the booster engine applies a constant forward force of 60 N for 3.0 seconds. What impu
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Impulse = 90

Resulting Velocity = 89

Explanation:

Use F * change in time = m * change in velocity.

For the first part of the question, the left side of the equation is the impulse. Plug it in.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 90.

For the second half. we use all parts of the equation. I'm gonna use vf for the final velocity.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 10 * (vf - 80). Simplify.

90 = 10vf - 800. Simplify again.

890 = 10vf. Divide to simplify and get the answer.

The resulting velocity is 89.

Jeff of the Jungle swings on a 7.6-m vine that initially makes an angle of 32 ∘ with the vertical.
shtirl [24]

To solve this problem we will use the trigonometric concepts to find the distance h, which will allow us to find the speed of Jeff and that will finally be the variable that will indicate the total tension, since it is the variable of the centrifugal Force given in the vine at the lowest poing of the swing.

From the image:

cos (32) = \frac{(7.6-h)}{7.6}

h = 1.1548m

When Jeff reaches his lowest point his potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.1548)}

v= 4.75m/s

Tension in the string at the lowest point is sum of weight of Jeff and the his centripetal force

T = W+F_c

T = mg + \frac{mv^2}{r}

T = (83)(9.8)+\frac{(9.8)( 4.75)^2}{7.6}

T = 842.49N

Therefore the tension in the vine at the lowest point of the swing is 842.49N
