It is claimed that if a lead bullet goes fast enough, it can melt completely when it comes to a halt suddenly, and all its kinet

ic energy is converted into heat via friction. Find the minimum speed of a lead bullet (initial temperature = 27.4 °C) for such an event to happen.

Answer:

354.72 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of lead bullet

c = specific heat of lead = 128 J/(kg °C)

L = Latent heat of fusion of lead = 24500 J/kg

T_{i} = initial temperature = 27.4 °C

T_{f} = final temperature = melting point of lead =  327.5 °C

v = Speed of lead bullet

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of bullet = Heat required for change of temperature + Heat of melting

(0.5) m v^{2} = m c (T_{f} - T_{i}) + m L\\(0.5) v^{2} = c (T_{f} - T_{i}) + L\\(0.5) v^{2} = (128) (327.5 - 27.4) + 24500\\(0.5) v^{2} = 62912.8\\v = 354.72 ms^{-1}

a man stands in a lift going downward with uniform velocity. he experiences a loss of weight at the start but not when lift is i
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

It is explained in the explanation section

Explanation:

When the lift starts going downwards, it will start accelerating downwards. After a while, it will start moving with a constant velocity.

Constant velocity means that acceleration is zero and so the man will not feel any weight loss.

Now, Once the lift achieves constant velocity the acceleration is zero hence he will not experience any weight loss.

However, when the lift is in uniform motion, the lift and the man will fall down with an acceleration(a) that is less than that due to gravity(g) . Thus, the man will feel an apparent weight F which is not equal to zero.

Wile E. Coyote stands on top of a 90-meter high cliff, looking down at the Roadrunner. If
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

33.516 kJ

Explanation:

Potential energy is given by:

PE = mgh

Where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height. In this case:

PE = 38kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 90m = 33516 kg m^2/s^2 = 33516 J = 33.516 kJ

Describe how mercury in glass thermometer can be constructed?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

It consists of a bulb containing mercury attached to a glass tube of narrow diameter; the volume of mercury in the tube is much less than the volume in the bulb. ... The space above the mercury may be filled with nitrogen gas or it may be at less than atmospheric pressure, a partial vacuum.

g A 39.0-kilogram child sits on a uniform seesaw of negligible mass; she is 2.60 m from the pivot point (or fulcrum). How far fr
Deffense [45]

Answer:

4.6091 meters

Explanation:

In this problem, to have equilibrium in the seesaw, we need the torque from one child to compensate the torque from the other child.

The torque is calculated by making the product of the mass and the distance to the pivot point.

So, the torque generated by the first child (T1) is equal to:

T1 = m1 * d1 = 39 * 2.6 = 101.4 Nm

To make equilibrium, we need the second child to generate the same torque (T2), so:

T2 = m2 * d2 = 22 * d2 = 101.4

d2 = 101.4 / 22 =  4.6091 m

The second child need to be at 4.6091 meters from the pivot point to be in equilibrium.
