The fine horizontal scratches etched onto a bullet after it has been fired are called Striations.

<h3>What is Striations?</h3>
  • Striations are the minute differences in the curve of the bullet's surface. The bullet and the gun barrel are the harder and softer materials, respectively, in firearms evidence.
  • The striations left on the fired bullet are used as a comparison by firearm examiners.
  • When a gun is discharged, the bullet blasts down the barrel where it strikes ridges and grooves, spinning and improving shot accuracy.
  • These ridges cause striations in the bullet's soft metal by digging into it.
  • An examiner analyses these distinctive markings to verify whether a given bullet was shot from a specific firearm.
  • A barrel will produce individual markings in addition to a bullet's land and groove impressions as the projectile passes through.

A ball is droped from a height of 16m how much time will pass before the ball hits the ground​
sergey [27]

Answer:

The time is 1.8s

Explanation:

The ball droped, will freely fall under gravity.

Hence we use free fall formula to calculate the time by the ball to hit the ground

h= \frac{1}{2}g{t}^{2}

Where h is the height from which the ball is droped, g is the acceleration due to gravity that acted on the ball, and t is the time taken by the ball to hit the ground.

From the question,

h=16m

Also, let take

g = 9.8m{s}^{-2}

By substitution we obtain,

16= \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8{t}^{2}

\implies32=9.8{t}^{2}

Diving through by 9.8

\frac{32}{9.8}= \frac{ 9.8{t}^{2} }{9.8}

\implies{t}^{2} =3.265

square root both sides, we obtain

\implies t= \sqrt{3.265}

t=1.8s

A speaker vibrates at a frequency of 200 hz what is its period
Norma-Jean [14]

Period = (1) / (frequency)

Period = (1) / (200 per second)  =  0.005 second  =  5 milliseconds

A spring has a equilibrium length of 10.0 cm. When a force of 40.0 N is applied to the spring, the spring has a length of 14.0 c
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

Explanation:

Given;

equilibrium length of the spring, L = 10.0 cm

new length of the spring, L₀ = 14 cm

applied force on the spring, F = 40 N

extension of the spring due to applied force, e = L₀ - L = 14 cm - 10 cm = 4 cm

From Hook's law

Force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.

F ∝ e

F = ke

where;

k is the spring constant

k = F / e

k = 40 / 0.04

k = 1000 N/m

Therefore, the value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

An apparatus similar to the one used in lab uses an oscillating motor at one end to vibrate a long rope with frequency f = 40 Hz
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The displacement in t = 0,  

y (0) = - 0.18 m

Explanation:

Given f = 40 Hz , A = 0.25m , μ = 0.02 kg / m, T = 20.48 N

v = √ T / μ

v = √20.48 N / 0.02 kg /m = 32 m/s

λ = v / f

λ = 32 m/s / 40 Hz = 0.8

K = 2 π / λ

K = 2π / 0.8 = 7.854

φ = X * 360 / λ

φ = 0.5 * 360 / 0.8 = 225 °

Using the model of y' displacement

y (t) = A* sin ( w * t - φ )

When t = 0

y (0) = 0.25 m *sin ( w*(0) - 225 )

y (0) = 0.25 * -0.707

y (0) = - 0.18 m

Earth’s polar ice caps contain about 2.3 × 1019 kg of ice. This mass contributes essentially nothing to the moment of inertia of
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial moment of inertia of the earth I₁ = 2/5 MR² , M is mss of the earth and R is the radius . If ice melts , it forms an equivalent shell of mass  2.3 x 10¹⁹ Kg

Final moment of inertia I₂ = 2/5 M R² + 2/3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²

For change in period of rotation we shall apply conservation of angular momentum law

I₁ ω₁  = I₂ ω₂  ,  ω₁ and   ω₂ are angular velocities initially and finally .

I₁ / I₂     =  ω₂ / ω₁

I₁ / I₂     =  T₁ / T₂  , T₁ , T₂ are time period initially and finally .

T₂ / T₁ = I₂ / I₁

(2/5 M R² + 2/3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²) / 2/5 MR²

1 + 5 / 3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / M

= 1 + 5 / 3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / 5.97 x 10²⁴

= 1 + .0000064

T₂ = 24 (1 + .0000064)

= 24 hours + .55 s

change in length of the day = .55 s .
