Typically, a bullet leaves a standard .50-caliber rifle (29.0-in. barrel) at a speed of 853 m/s. If it takes 1.2 milliseconds to

traverse the barrel, determine the average acceleration experienced by the 49.0-gram bullet within the gun amd then compute the average force exerted on it.

To find what a is, consider the equation v=at (v=velocity, a=acceleration, t=time interval), making a=v/t. Take the given v of 853m/s, and divide that by your time IN SECONDS, so 1.2ms=1.2*10^-3s.

a=(853)/(1.2*10^-3)=7.11*10^5 m/s^2.

Now Having F=ma, where a is your acceleration, and m=mass (which is 49*10^-3 kg),

F=(49*10^-3)(7.11*10^5)=3.48*10^4 N

Hope this helps!

What describes a sound wave as it travels through a medium
Softa [21]
Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.

Match each property with the benefit it provides to people on Earth. A. magnetic field filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
vodomira [7]

The correct matching are the following:

  • A. magnetic field: prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface
  • B. ozone: filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
  • C. carbon dioxide: retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere
  • D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams: moderates changes in temperature on the surface

The electromagnetic field of the Earth protects us from solar wind by deflecting it. Without it, the charged particles would strip away our ozone, which will lead to the end of life on Earth.

The ozone is a layer in the stratosphere that filters the suns rays. It filters the UV rays by absorbing it. This prevents the UV rays from damaging the surface of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide retains heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect. It is beneficial for us, but because human activity like industrial activities emit so much carbon in the atmosphere that it ends up being harmful.

Bodies of water found on Earth regulate the temperature of the Earth through ocean currents. It brings in both cold and warm air to land which also affect precipitation.

Long explanation, I know, but maybe this will help you out in the long run. Good Luck!

Suppose you lived in a pre-industrial society and needed to lift a heavy (20 kg) block a height of 5 m and had two choices for h
igomit [66]
Let's break the question into two parts:

1) The force needed in Ramp scenario.
2) The effort force needed in the lever scenario.

1. Ramp Scenario: 
In an incline, the only component of cart's weight(mg) that is in the direction of motion is mgsin \alpha. Therefore the effort force in this case must be equal or greater than mgsin \alpha.

Now we need to find \alpha. \alpha is the angle between the incline of the ramp and the ground. 

Since the height is 5m and the length of the ramp is 8m, sin \alpha would be 5/8 or 0.625. Now that you have sin \alpha, mutiple it with mg.

=> m*g*sin \alpha  = 20 * 10 * 5 / 8. (Taking g = 10 m/s² for simplicity) = 125N
Therefore, the minimum Effort force you would require in this case is 125N.

2. Lever Scenario:
Just apply "moment action" in this case, which is:
F_{e}  d_{e}  = F_{r}  d_{r}

F_{e} = ?

F_{r} = mg = 20 * 10 = 200N
d_{e} = 10m
d_{r} = 1m


Plug-in the values in the above equation:
F_{e} = 200/10= 20N


As 20N << 125N, the best choice is to use lever.

A flare is shot from a snowmobile with an initial velocity of 4.3 m/s at 90*, while the snowmobile is moving at 8.5 m/s at 0.0*.
Sedaia [141]

The driver is tooling along in his snowmobile, pointed north,
at 8.5 m/s.

He's carrying the flares with him, so the flares are also moving north
at 8.5 m/s.

When he fires the flare straight up, it has a vertical velocity of 4.3 m/s
straight up, and a horizontal velocity of 8.5 m/s towards the north.

The magnitude of the net velocity is √(4.3² + 8.5²) .
That's about  9.53 m/s, at some angle between straight up
and straight north.

The angle above horizontal is the angle that has a tangent of  4.3/8.5 .
I'll let you work out the angle.

Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the Moon on a 79 kg human standing on the surface of the Moon. (Th
Luden [163]

Answer:

F= 134.92 N

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the moon ,M = 7.4 x 10²² kg

The mass of the man ,m = 79 kg

The radius ,R= 1.7 x 10⁶ m

The force exerted by moon is given as

F=G\dfrac{Mm}{R^2}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{79\times 7.4\times 10^{22}}{(1.7\times 10^6)^2}\ N\\F=134.92 N

Therefore the force will be 134.92 N.

F= 134.92 N
