A 7.80-g bullet moving at 575 m/s strikes the hand of a superhero, causing the hand to move 5.50 cm in the direction of the bullet’s velocity before stopping. (a) Use work and energy considerations to find the average force that stops the bullet. (b) Assuming the force is constant, determine how much time elapses between the moment the bullet strikes the hand and the moment it stops moving.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

a)40.77N

b)0.11seg

Explanation:

The bullet has a kinetic energy:

K=1/2*m*v^(2) = 1/2*0.0078kg*575m/s=2.2425J

When the bullet stops this energy goes to zero, as the energy must be conserved the work done by the head of the superhero must be equal to the original energy of the bullet:

W=K

Considering an average constant force, the work can be calculated as:

W=F*d=K

Solving for F:

F=K/d=2.2425J/0.055m=40.77N

The acceleration(on the opposite direction of motion) on the bullet will be:

a=F/m=40.77N/0.0078kg=5226.9 m/s^(2)

The velocity of the bullet considering a constant acceleration can be calculate as:

V=V_(0) - a*t

It stops moving when V=0 so:

V_(0) - a*t=0=>t=V_(0)/a=(575m/s)/(5226.9m/s^(2) ) =0.11seg

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

a) 23444.3 N

b) 0.191 ms

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the bullet m = 7.8 g = 7.8 * 10⁻³ Kg

Initial speed u = 575 m/s

Final speed v = 0

Distance covered s = 5.50 cm = 0.055 m

(a)

According to work energy theorem

Work done W = Change in Kinetic energy

hence, force*distance = 1/2*mass*velocity²          

that is, F*S  = (1/2)mu²

 F*0.055 = 0.5 * 7.8 * 10⁻³ * (575)^2

F = 23444.3 N

(2)

From Impulse definition

 force*time = change in momentum

where momentum = mass * velocity

F*t = Change in momentum = m* u

23444.3t = 7.8*10⁻³ * 575

Time, t = 0.191 ms

What happened to a apple's weigh as the plane rose up toward the sky?

Answers


Okay, I don't know if this question is supposed to be a trick question or not. The weight of the apple does not change as the plane travels up the atmosphere, but the MASS changes. Weight doesn't change no matter what environment you're in, but the mass changes in different environments. In this case, the weight is constant but the mass is decreasing as you go higher up.

PLEASE HELP. A substance decays according the the equation ae^-0.0025t, where t is in minutes. Find the half life of the substance. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers


First of all, that's not an equation.  An equation needs an 'equals' sign ( = ),
so you need something like 

               Amount present = a e^-0.0025t .

                                   'a' = amount present when t = 0 .

The half-life is the time it takes for the original amount to decay to half of it.

That's just 't' when                      e^-0.0025t  =  1/2

Take the natural log of each side:    -0.0025t  =  ln(0.5)

Divide each side by  -0.0025 :        t = ln(0.5) / (-0.0025) =

                                                     (-0.69315) / (-0.0025) =

                                                   t  =  277.26 minutes

                                                    ( 4hrs 37min 15.5sec)

Rounded to nearest tenth:  t = 277.3 minutes .

a car accelerates for 5 seconds at 2.1 m/s squared if the car intentionally has a speed of 10 m/s what is its new speed

Answers

Answer:

final velocity will be

v_f = 20.5 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the car will be

v_i = 10 m/s

acceleration of the car is

a = 2.1 m/s^2

time taken is

t = 5 s

now we know that

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 10 + (2.1* 5)

v_f = 10 + 10.5 = 20.5 m/s

Hey - for this problem you will find out your new velocity (similar to speed)

You take your Initial Velocity and add to it all the gained velocity you get during this process (which is the Acceleration multiplied by the amount of Time you are accelerating for)

So we get (Final Velocity) = (Initial Velocity) + (Time)(Acceleration)

In your equations, thats (Final Velocity) = (10 meters/second) + (5 seconds)(2.1 meters/second/second)

Which is 10 + 10.2 = 20.2 meters/second
