We use the equation of motion for vertical component,

s_{y} = u_{y} t+\frac{1}{2} gt^2.

Here, s_{y}   is displacement of bullet, u_{y}  is vertical initial velocity of bullet which is equal to zero because bullet was fired horizontally, and t is time of flight.

Therefore,

s_{y} =\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Given, s_{y} =2.3 \ cm = 2.3 \times 10^{-2} \ m

Substituting the values, we get time of flight

2.3 \times 10^{-2} \ m = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times t^2 \\\\ t =\sqrt{46.94 \times 10^{-4} \ s } = 0.069 \ s

The normal force is the supporting force that is exerted on an object that is in contact with another stable object.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Normal force is forward or upward pushing force acting on an object. Mostly the normal force acts as supporting force exerted on the object by the neighbouring stable object with which the object in question is in contact. So normal force falls under the category of contact forces.

Generally, normal force will be acting to support the weight of any object placed on another object. The best examples of normal forces are the weight of the book supported by table or by the pushing force of the wall on the person leaning on the wall.

Explain what happens to the particles in a substance during a physical change.
Bingel [31]
During Physical Change there would be a re-arrangements of atoms or molecules, changes of the arrangement may be change in the distance between atoms or molecules, change in the crystal form, .....etc 

for example: water when heated it undergoes a Physical Change and turn into vapor, this means the heat cause the distance between water molecules to increase, so it transferred from the liquid form to the gas form. 

NOTE that in Physical Change there is no change in the chemical structure and the material retains all its chemical properties, and no new compounds are produced. 

again, A physical change is any change not involving a change in the substance's chemical identity. Matter undergoes chemical change when the composition of the substances changes: one or more substances combine or break up (as in a relationship) to form new substances.Physical changes occur when objects undergo a change that does not change their chemical nature. A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Physical properties can be observed without changing the type of matter. Examples of physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, odor, volume, mass, weight, and density. 

BUT in Chemical Change ( or Chemical Reaction ) there would be change in the chemical nature of the material undergoing a Chemical Change with the production of new compounds.

A railroad car of mass 2.50*10^4 kg is moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroa
NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 2.5 m/s

(b) 37.5 KJ

Explanation:

(a)

From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum

mV_1+3mV_2=(m+3m)V_f=4mV_f

V_1+3V_2=4V_f and making V_f the subject then

V_f=\frac {V_1+3V_2}{4} and since V_1 is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s, V_2 is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and v_f is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution

V_f=\frac {4+(3\times2)}{4}=2.5 m/s

(b)

Initial kinetic energy is given by

\frac {mV_1^{2}}{2}+\frac {3mV_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {m(V_1^{2}+3V_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {2.5\times 10^{4}(4^{2}+3(2^{2}))}{2}=350\times10^{3} J= 350 KJ

Final kinetic energy is given by

\frac {4mV_f^{2}}{2}=\frac {4\times 2.5\times 10^{4}\times 2.5^{2}}{2}=312.5\times 10^{3} J=312.5 KJ

The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence

Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ

What primary element of light helps the observer see three-dimensions?
elixir [45]
<span>Shading. When light hits an opaque surface some is absorbed, the rest is reflected, The reflected light is called shading. Reflection is not simple and varies with material. The surface’s structure defines the details of reflection. Variations produce anything from bright specular reflection</span>
