A bullet is dropped into a river from a very high bridge. At the same time, another bullet is fired from a gun straight down tow

ards the water. If air resistance is negligible, the acceleration of the bullets just before they strike the water:
(A) is greater for the dropped bullet
(B) is greater for the fired bullet
(C) is the same for both bullets
(D) depends on how high they started

Answer:

Option (c)

Explanation:

Both the bullets have same acceleration because they both falls under the influence of acceleration due to gravity.

The bullet which is fired from the gun has some initial velocity but the bullet which is dropped has zero initial velocity.

the acceleration is acting on both the bullets which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and they both in motion in the influence of gravity.

What type of sound occurs when an airway in the bronchial passage is obstructions limiting air flow?
gregori [183]
The sound produced is called wheezing. It is somewhat like a whistle except it's more course and you don't do it voluntarily like whistling, but rather it occurs because of obstructions. It can be either vocally or you can hear it when there are nasal obstructions when you are breathing through your nose.

How many grams of CO-60 result in 1 Millicuire of activity? How many years until the activity decays to 1 microcuire tl/2 =5.3 Y
vredina [299]

Answer:

m =8.81*10^{-6}grams

time t = 52.8 year

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

the half life of the CO-60 is, T_1/2 = 5.27 years = 1.663 e+8 s

activity dN/dt = 1 mCi = 3.7 X 10^7 decay/s

activity ,  dN/dt = N* \lambda

              \frac{dN}{dt} = N* \frac{ln2}{T_1/2}

                   N = \frac{(dN/dt )(T1/2)}{ln2}

                      = ( 3.7 X 10^7 )(1.663*10^8 ) / ln2

                      = 8.877*10^{16}

Number of moles:

     n = N/NA = 8.877*10^{16} / 6.022X10^23 = 1.474*10^{-7} mol

mass of the CO-60 is,

   m = n*M = [1.474*10^{-7} mol]*[59.93 grams /mol] = 8.81*10^{-6}grams

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    time t = -[T1/2 / ln2]*ln[N/N0]

             = - [5.3 years / ln2]*ln[1x10-6/1x10-3]

             = 52.8 year

3. What is the mass of a paratrooper who experiences an air resistance of 400 N and an acceleration of 4.5 m/s2
goblinko [34]

Answer:

88.89kg

Explanation:

The formula for mass is m=F/a. If we plug in the values, we get m=400N/4.5m/s^2. The mass is 88.89kg. We know that the unit is in kg because one newton (N) is 1kg*m/s^2. The m/s^2 is cancelled out by the acceleration, and we are left with kg.

When performing an.experiment similar to Millikan's oil drop, a student measured the following load magnitudes: 3.26x10 ^-19 C 5
Scilla [17]

Answer:

1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Explanation:

Let us arrange the charges in the ascending order and round them off as follows :-

1.53 x 10⁻¹⁹ C   → 1.6x 10⁻¹⁹ C

3.26 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

4.66 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

5.09 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

6.39 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 6.4 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The rounding off has been made to facilitate easy calculation to come to a conclusion and to accommodate error in measurement.

Here we observe that

2 nd charge is almost twice the first charge

3 rd and 4 th charges are almost 3 times the first charge

5 th charge is almost 4 times the first charge.

This result implies that 2 nd to 5 th charges are made by combination of the first charge ie if we take e as first  charge , 2nd to 5 th charges can be  written as 2e,  3e ,3e and 4e. Hence e is the minimum charge existing in nature and on electron this minimum charge of  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C  exists.
