Let F be the magnitude of the frictional force. This force performs an amount of work W on the bullet such that

W = -Fx

where x is the distance over which F is acting. This is the only force acting on the bullet as it penetrates the tree. The work-energy theorem says the total work performed on a body is equal to the change in that body's kinetic energy, so we have

W = ∆K

-Fx = 0 - 1/2 mv²

where m is the body's mass and v is its speed.

Solve for F and plug in the given information:

F = mv²/(2x)

F = (0.00426 kg) (881 m/s)² / (2 (0.0444 m))

F = 37,234.8 N ≈ 37.2 kN

A bicycle pedal is pushed straight downwards by a foot with a 16 Newton force. The shaft of the pedal is 20 cm long. If the shaf
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

2.56 N*m

Explanation:

Torque is force times distance, with the force being perpendicular to the distance.

If the force and distance are not perpendicular, a projection of one of the two must be used instead.

We will use the projection of the length of the shaft upon a perpendicular of the force applied. This will have a magnitude of:

Lh = L * cos(a) (I name it Lh because it is a horizontal projection in this case)

Lh = 0.2 * cos(π/5) = 0.16 m

Then:

T = f * d

T = 16 * 0.16 = 2.56 N*m

How do the earth's physical features affect people's activities?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

d.all of the above

Explanation:

The physical feature of the planet Earth affect people's activities in the following manner -  

  • Choice of Occupation  - the process of occupation is completely a land depended process , hence any changes on the physical features of Earth , like the climate , temperature , rain etc , will hinder the occupations process .
  • Method of transportation - it is also a Climate dependent process , so any change in climate may obstruct the transportation facility .
  • Recreational activities - also depends on the physical feature of the planet Earth .

HEY CAN ANYONE PLS ANSWER DIS!!!!!!
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.wrap bar magnet in a plastic baggie and remove the iron filings from the mixture by using a bar magnet. Place a small piece of scrap paper on the scale and “tare” the scale. Then place filings on the scrap paper and record (e) the mass of the iron filings. Don't throw out the iron–save it to be recollected.

2.When sand is added to water it either hangs in the water or forms a layer at the bottom of the container. Sand therefore does not dissolve in water and is insoluble. It is easy to separate sand and water by filtering the mixture. Salt can be separated from a solution through evaporation.

3.Sand (mostly silicon dioxide) is not.

Pour the salt and sand mixture into a pan.

Add water. ...

Heat the water until the salt dissolves. ...

Remove the pan from heat and allow it to cool until it's safe to handle.

Pour the salt water into a separate container.

Now collect the sand.

Pour the salt water back into the empty pan.

Heat the salt water until the water boils. Continue boiling it until the water is gone and you're left with the salt.

Another way you can separate the salt water and sand is to stir up the sand/salt water and pour it through a coffee filter to capture the sand.
