Given:
u = 0, initial velocity
v = 125 m/s, final velocity
s = 0.0800 m, distance traveled
9.20 g, the mass of the pellet

If the acceleration is a, then
0² + 2*(a m/s²)*(0.800 m) = (125 m/s)²
1.6a = 15625
a = 9765.625 m/s²

Calculate the force.
F = (9.20 x 10⁻³ kg)*(9765.625 m/s²) = 98.84 N

Answer: 98.8 N (nearest tenth)

A plastic film moves over two drums. During a 4-s interval the speed of the tape is increased uniformly from v0 = 2ft/s to v1 =
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Question 1)

a) The speed of the drums is increased from 2 ft/s to 4 ft/s in 4 s. From the below kinematic equations the acceleration of the drums can be determined.

v_1 = v_0 + at \\4 = 2 + 4a\\a = 0.5~ft/s^2

This is the linear acceleration of the drums. Since the tape does not slip on the drums, by the rule of rolling without slipping,

v = \omega R\\a = \alpha R

where α is the angular acceleration.

In order to continue this question, the radius of the drums should be given.

Let us denote the radius of the drums as R, the angular acceleration of drum B is

α = 0.5/R.

b) The distance travelled by the drums can be found by the following kinematics formula:

v_1^2 = v_0^2 + 2ax\\4^2 = 2^2 + 2(0.5)x\\x = 12 ft

One revolution is equal to the circumference of the drum. So, total number of revolutions is

x / (2\pi R) = 6/(\pi R)

Question 2)

a) In a rocket propulsion question, the acceleration of the rocket can be found by the following formula:

a = \frac{dv}{dt} = -\frac{v_{fuel}}{m}\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{13000}{2600}25 = 125~ft/s^2

b) a = -\frac{v_{fuel}}{m}\frac{dm}{dt} = - \frac{13000}{400}25 = 812.5~ft/s^2

Fynjy0 [20]
I would say B because different people see famous people in different ways. like a famous person would just see them self as a person whereas a non-famous person would see them as amazing and superior to others.

kirill115 [55]

Healthy pregnant women should get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, spread over a 7-day period, each week - True

<u>Explanation:</u>

Women who are healthy but moderately active must be engaged with aerobic  activities moderately. they should be engaged with this activities at least 2 and a half hours in all 7 days of a week. They must be engaged with this activity during the pregnancy time and also in the period after their delivery.

During the time of pregnancy all women must be healthy and physically active. The ways for maintaining a very good health in the pregnancy time will be guided by the health care providers. Women should be highly active during and after pregnancy time. This helps in having a baby that is also very healthy.
