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

An object of unknown mass is initially at rest and dropped from a height h. It reaches the ground with a velocity v1 . The same
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

v_2=\sqrt{2}v_1

Explanation:

The velocity v₁ can be calculated with the kinematic formula:

v_1^{2} =v_0^{2} +2gh

Since the object is initially at rest, v₁ becomes:

v_1=\sqrt{2gh}

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Now, the velocity v₂ can be calculated with the same formula, but now the initial velocity is v₁:

v_2^{2}=v_1^{2} +2gh

Substituting v₁ in this expression and solving for v₂, we get:

v_2^{2}=(\sqrt{2gh} )^{2} +2gh=4gh\\\\\implies v_2=\sqrt{4gh}=2\sqrt{gh}

Now, dividing v₂ over v₁, we get the expression:

\frac{v_2}{v_1}=\frac{2\sqrt{gh} }{\sqrt{2gh}}=\sqrt{2}\\   \\\implies v_2=\sqrt{2}v_1

It means that v₂ is √2 times v₁.

How does atmospheric pressure affect the boiling point of a liquid
Darya [45]

Answer:

The atmospheric pressure and boiling point are directly proportional

Increasing atmospheric pressure increases the boiling point also

Explanation:

The atmosphere contain molecules that are in constant motion. They exert a downward force on a liquid’s surface. The higher the air pressure, the harder it is for the liquid to evaporate. Therefore, the boiling point of a solvent or liquid is affected by the atmospheric pressure and boiling point is raised.

A liquid in a high pressure environment boils at a higher temperature.

When placed in a lower pressure environment it boils at a lower temperature.

What is the difference between an induced and a permanent magnet?
MissTica
INDUCTION MOTOR:-

Speed:-Less speed range than PMAC motors • Speed range is a function of the drive being used — to 1,000:1 with an encoder, 120:1 under field-oriented control


Reliability:-Waste heat is capable of degrading insulation essential to motor operation • Years of service common with proper operation

Power density:-Induction produced by squirrel cage rotor inherently limits power density

Accuracy:-Flux vector and field-oriented control allows for some of accuracy of servos

Cost:-Relatively modest initial cost; higher operating costs

PERMANENT MAGNET MORTOR:-

speed:-VFD-driven PMAC motors can be used in nearly all induction-motor and some servo applications • Typical servomotor application speed — to 10,000 rpm — is out of PMAC motor range

Reliability:-Lower operating temperatures reduces wear and tear, maintenance • Extends bearing and insulation life • Robust construction for years of trouble-free operation in harsh environments.

power density:-Rare-earth permanent magnets produce more flux (and resultant torque) for their physical size than induction types.

Accuracy:-Without feedback, can be difficult to locate and position to the pinpoint accuracy of servomotors

<span>Cost:-Exhibit higher efficiency, so their energy use is smaller and full return on their initial purchase cost is realized more quickly</span>

The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is ________ as the partial pressure of oxygen is raised.
san4es73 [151]

The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is <u>increased</u> as the partial pressure of oxygen is raised.

Hemoglobin is the most vital constituent of red blood cells.

It is a kind of protein found in red blood cells that transfers oxygen to all parts of your body.

Hemoglobin is made up of proteins called 'heme' to which oxygen molecules become attached and travel throughout the body.

The blood carrying oxygen is called oxygenated blood and when it reaches the lungs, oxygen molecules detach and brings carbon dioxide along to remove it from the body through respiration.
