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

2. Adelia holds a shiny steel spoon with its back (convex surface) facing her eyes at a distance
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

(a) The convex mirror image, is always upright at all positions, while images formed by concave mirrors are always inverted when the object distance from the mirror is more than the mirrors focal length.

(b) An upright image is not seen for object at a distance from a concave mirror further than the focal length of the mirror, which is the spoon in the question

Therefore, the location of her eyes of approximately, 30 cm,  from the mirror is more than the mirror's focal length

A grape is thrown straight up in the air. If it was thrown at 2 m/s, how high will it go in the air?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Answer: <u>Height</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>.</u><u>2</u><u>0</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>m</u>

Explanation:

At the highest point, it is called the maximum height.

• From third newton's equation of motion:

{ \rm{ {v}^{2}  =  {u}^{2}  + 2gs}}

• At maximum height, v is zero

• u is initial speed

• g is -9.8 m/s²

• s is the height

{ \rm{0 {}^{2}  =  {2}^{2}   -  (2 \times 9.8 \times s)}} \\  \\ { \rm{4 = 19.6s}} \\  \\ { \rm{s = 0.204 \: m}}

A racecar accelerates from rest at 6.5 m/s2 for 4.1 s. How fast will it be going at the end of that time?
Pie

Answer:

The final velocity of the car is 26.65 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the racecar, a = 6.5 m/s²

initial velocity of the car, u = 0

time of motion, t = 4.1 s

The final velocity of the car is given by;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

suvstitute the givens

v = 0 + (6.5)(4.1)

v = 26.65 m/s.

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 26.65 m/s.

A 45 N girl sits on a bench 0.6 meters off the ground. How much work is done on the bench?
ycow [4]

Answer: 27 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on the bench over a distance. it is measured in joules.

Workdone = force x distance

= 45 N x 0.6 metres

= 27 joules

Thus, 27 joules of work is done on the bench.

A contestant in a winter games event pulls a 36.0 kg block of ice across a frozen lake with a rope over his shoulder as shown in
Novay_Z [31]

(a) The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

(b) The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².

<h3>Minimum force to be applied </h3>

The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is calculated as follows;

Fcosθ = μ(s)Fₙ

Fcosθ = μ(s)mg

where;

  • μ(s) is coefficient of static friction
  • m is mass of the block
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

F = [0.1(36)(9.8)] / [(cos(25)]

F = 38.9 N

<h3>Acceleration of the block</h3>

F(net) = 38.9 - (0.03 x 36 x 9.8) = 28.32

a = F(net)/m

a = 28.32/36

a = 0.79 m/s²

Thus, the minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².
