When air resistance<span> acts, acceleration during a fall </span>will<span> be less than g because </span>air resistance affects<span> the motion of the falling </span>objects<span> by slowing it down. </span>Air resistance<span> depends on two important factors - the</span>speed<span> of the </span>object<span> and its surface area. Increasing the surface area of an </span>object<span> decreases its </span>speed<span>.</span>

An object is hung from a spring balance attached to the ceiling of an elevator cab. The balance reads 65 N when the cab is stand

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

(A) Reading will be 65 N

(B) Net force on the elevator will be 49.076 N

Explanation:

We have given the balance force = 65 N

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We know that W=mg

So $65=m\times 9.8$

m = 6.632 kg

(a) In first case as the as the speed is constant so the force on the elevator will be 65 N

(B) In second case as the elevator is decelerating at a rate of $2.4m/sec^2$

So net acceleration = 9.8-2.4= $7.4m/sec^2$

So net force on elevator will be = m× net acceleration = 6.632×7.4 = 49.076 N

The barrel of a rifle has a length of 0.89 m. A bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 620 m/s. What is the acceler

guapka [62]

Answer:

215955.06 m/s^2

Explanation:

length of barrel, s = 0.89 m

initial velocity of the bullet, u = 0 m/s

Final velocity of the bullet, v = 620 m/s

Let a be the acceleration of the bullet in the barrel

Use third equation of motion, we get

$v^{2}=u^{2}+ 2as$

$620^{2}=0^{2}+ 2\times a \times 0.89$

a = 215955.06 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the bullet inside the barrel is 215955.06 m/s^2.

An experiment is done to compare the initial speed of projectiles fired from high-performance catapults. The catapults are place

anzhelika [568]

Answer:1.084

Explanation:

Given

mass of Pendulum M=10 kg

mass of bullet m=5.5 gm

velocity of bullet u

After collision let say velocity is v

conserving momentum we get

$mu=(M+m)v$

$v=\frac{m}{M+m}\times u$

Conserving Energy for Pendulum

Kinetic Energy=Potential Energy

$\frac{(M+m)v^2}{2}=(M+m)gh$

here $h=L(1-\cos \theta )$ from diagram

therefore

$v=\sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}$

initial velocity in terms of v

$u=\frac{M+m}{m}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}$

For first case $\theta =6.8^{\circ}$

$u_1=\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}$

for second case $\theta =11.4^{\circ}$

$u_2=\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}$

Therefore $\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}}{\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}}$

$\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{1819.181\times 0.0838}{1001\times 0.1404}$

$\frac{u_1}{u_2}=1.084$

i.e. $\frac{v_1}{v_2}=1.084$
