The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is 14,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x^{2}, where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.

Explanation:

We will calculate the work done as follows.

     W = \int_{0}^{0.54} F dx

         = \int_{0}^{0.54} (14,000 + 10,000x - 26,000x^{2}) dx

         = [14000x + 5000x^{2} - 8666.7x^{3}]^{0.54}_{0}

         = 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69

         = 7653.31 J

or,      = 7.65 kJ       (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.

two billiard balls moving along the same line hit each other head-on. each has a mass of 0.220 kg; one has an initial velocity o

Hi there!

Since the collision is elastic, we must also satisfy the following condition:

Ei = Ef, or:

KEi = KEf

Begin by writing an expression for momentum. (p = mv) Remember that one ball's direction is negative; in this instance, we can let the second ball be moving LEFT.

mv1 + mv2 = mvf1 + mvf2

0.220(1.84) + 0.220(-.530) = 0.220(vf1 + vf2)

0.2882/0.220 = vf1 + vf2

1.31 = vf1 + vf2

Now, we can express this as a conservation of energy:

1/2mv1² + 1/2mv2² = 1/2mvf1² + 1/2mvf2²

Plug in values and simplify:

0.403315 = 1/2m(vf1² + vf2²)

Simplify further:

3.6665 = vf1² + vf2²

Use the equation derived from momentum above and solve for one variable:

vf2 = 1.31 - vf1

Plug in this expression for vf2:

3.6665 = vf1² + (1.31 - vf1)²

Expand:

3.6665 = vf1² + 1.7161 - 2.62vf1 + vf1²

Simplify:

1.9504 = -2.62vf1 + 2vf1²

Solve for vf1 using a graphing calculator:

vf1 = -0.53 m/s or 1.84 m/s; we must figure out which one is correct.

Since v1 is heading to the right initially with a velocity of 1.84 m/s, we know that the ball's velocity could not have stayed the same in both magnitude and direction, so the final velocity must be -0.53 m/s.

Now, we can solve for the velocity of the other ball (initial of 0.53 m/s):

vf2 = 1.31 - (-0.53) = 1.84 m/s.

Now, you could have also made the connection that when two balls of the SAME MASS experience an ELASTIC collision, the velocities are simply "exchanged" from one to another. I just used this more "extensive" method to prove this.

Which of these is a good example of Newton's First Law of inertia
Eddi Din [679]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation:

Inertia is a state of an object or body to maintain its state. It resists any change in its state.

Newton's first law of inertia: When an objects is in state of motion, it will remain its state of motion or if it is in state of rest then it will remain in rest unless it is acted upon by external motion.

In the given options, a ball sits motionless on the ground is good example of Newton's first law motion. No external force is acting in this case.

In options (B), (C) and (D) , the external force is acting.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Anna71 [15]
The wave property which is independent of all other properties is THE VELOCITY OF A WAVE.
The velocity of a wave is defined as the distance moved by a cyclic motion per unit time. The velocity of a wave is determined by the properties of the medium through which it moves; it does not not depend on the properties of the wave itself.
