A student made the claim that a 4 gram paintball fired from a paintball gun at 90 m/s could have about the same kinetic energy a

s a 1 gram BB pellet fired from a BB gun at 180 m/s.

This question involves the concept of kinetic energy.

The student's claim is "right".

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

The energy possessed by a body, by the virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy. Mathematically it is given by the following formula:

K.E =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

  • K.E = Kinetic energy
  • m = mass
  • v = velocity

Therefore,

For the paintball:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(4\ g)(90\ m/s)^2

K.E = 16200 J

For the pellet:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(1\ g)(180\ m/s)^2

K.E = 16200 J

Hence, both paintball and pellet will have same kinetic energy. The student is right.

Answer:

the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

Explanation:

time of flight t = 2·V·sinθ/g

= (2 * 6.0m/s * sin35º) / 9.8m/s²

= 0.702 s

The body travels for this much time and cover horizontal displacement x from the point of lunch

So, use kinematic equation for horizontal motion

horizontal displacement

x = Vcosθ*t + ½at²

2.9 m = 6.0m/s * cos35º * 0.702s + ½a * (0.702s)²

a = -2.23 m/s²

This is the horizontal acceleration of the object.

Since the object is subject to only electric force in horizontal direction, this acceleration is due to electric force only

Therefore,the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile will be

F = m*|a|

= 0.015kg * 2.23m/s²

= 0.0335 N

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

A truck covers 47.0 m in 8.60 s while smoothly slowing down to final speed of 2.30 m/s. (a) Find its original speed.
Kruka [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, s = 47 m

Time taken, t = 8.6 s

Final speed of the truck, v = 2.3 m/s

Let u is the initial speed of the truck and a is its acceleration such that :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}.............(1)

Now, the second equation of motion is :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value of a in above equation as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times t^2

s=\dfrac{t(u+v)}{2}

u=\dfrac{2s}{t}-v

u=\dfrac{2\times 47}{8.6}-2.3

u = 8.63 m/s

So, the original speed of the truck is 8.63 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
