Take the mechanical equivalent of heat as 4 J/cal. A 10-g bullet moving at 2000 m/s plunges

1 answer:

4 0

Assuming that all the bullet’s energy heats the paraffin, its final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of the material.

The energy of the bullet E = 1/2 mv²

E = 1/2 x 10 x 10⁻³ x (2000)²

E = 2 x 10⁴ J

This heat is used in heating the paraffin

E = m x c ΔT = m x c (Tfinal -Tinitial)

2 x 10⁴ J = 1 x 2.8 x 10³ x (Tfinal -20)

Tfinal = 27.1°C

Thus, the final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.

What are dot diagrams in Physical Science?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

If you mean Lewis dot diagrams, aka electron-dot diagrams, then these are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

A nonconducting spherical shell, with an inner radius of 4 cm and an outer radius of 6 cm, has charge spread non uniformly throu

Aloiza [94]

In other words a infinitesimal segment dV caries the charge
dQ = ρ dV 

Let dV be a spherical shell between between r and (r + dr): 
dV = (4π/3)·( (r + dr)² - r³ ) 
= (4π/3)·( r³ + 3·r²·dr + 3·r·(dr)² + /dr)³ - r³ ) 
= (4π/3)·( 3·r²·dr + 3·r·(dr)² + /dr)³ ) 
drop higher order terms 
= 4·π·r²·dr 

To get total charge integrate over the whole volume of your object, i.e. 
from ri to ra: 
Q = ∫ dQ = ∫ ρ dV 
= ∫ri→ra { (b/r)·4·π·r² } dr 
= ∫ri→ra { 4·π·b·r } dr 
= 2·π·b·( ra² - ri² ) 

With given parameters: 
Q = 2·π · 3µC/m²·( (6cm)² - (4cm)² ) 
= 2·π · 3×10⁻⁶C/m²·( (6×10⁻²m)² - (4×10⁻²m)² ) 
= 3.77×10⁻⁸C 
= 37.7nC

Is this statement true or false? Electric currents flow easily through materials that are conductors and through materials that

Alex777 [14]

False because currents do not flow easily through insulators. If it only said conductors, then it would be true.

Riding in a car, you suddenly put on the brakes. As you experience it inside the car, do Newton's law apply? Do they apply as se

alisha [4.7K]

Answer with Explanation:

Newton's laws are applicable for inertial frames of reference which is a frame which is not accelerating when seen from the observer standing on earth.

For the person as he presses the brakes his frame is a decelerating frame of reference hence he cannot apply the newtons laws of motion as they are in their original form but if he analyses the motion he has to apply a correction known as pseudo-force on the object he is analyzing. Pseudo Force has no basis in newton's laws but are a correction that needs to be applied if he wishes to analyse the motion from non inertial frame of reference

While as a person standing on earth outside the car since his frame is an inertial frame of reference he can apply newton's laws of motion without any correction.
