As a consultant to the soft-drink industry, Dr. J is given the task of conducting the ultimate Pepsi taste test. This is Dr. J's

tenth taste test, which puts him seven up on his nearest consultant, who had only done three. Of course Dr. J is very qualified, having been hooked on soft drinks (especially orange soda) since he was Nehi to a pop bottle. Dr. J mounts a rather large container of Pepsi on a ledge some 3 meters above the ground. A bullet of mass 5 grams is then fired into the container, thus killing the taste. Not only that, but the Pepsi falls through the bullet hole onto the ground below (causing the taste to go flat). The wall of the container is 2 cm thick. The velocity of the bullet changes from an initial value of 500 m/sec just before striking the container wall to 5 m/sec upon leaving the container wall and entering the Pepsi. It finally fizzles out at a point 25 cm from the container wall.A. How much work does the container wall do on the bullet?
B. How much work does the Pepsi do on the bullet?
C. At what velocity does the Pepsi hit the floor?

Answer:

A) How much work does the Pepsi do on the bullet = 0.0625J

B) At what velocity does the Pepsi hit the floor = 7.67m/s

Explanation:

  • Given mass of bullet = 5g
  • initial velocity = 500 m/sec
  • final velocity = 5 m/sec

From work done = Force X Distance

  • WD = Mad
  • a = v - u /t

Workdone ; m(v - u )/t

A) The work done by the Pepsi is equal to the change in kinetic energy while in the Pepsi:

  • but The work done by the container wall on the bullet is equal to the change in kinetic energy on either side of the wall: W = change in kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

= 1/2 X 0.005 x 500² - 1/2 X 0.055 x 5²

= 624.94J

  • Therefore ; The work done by the Pepsi is equal to the change in kinetic energy while in the Pepsi = W = change in KE = 0.0625 - 0 = 0.0625J

B) At what velocity does the Pepsi hit the floor?

  • From conservation of energy principle; PE = KE
  • mgh = 1/2mv²
  • 0.98 X 3 = 1/2v²
  • velocity = 7.67m/s

What is the acceleration of a ball traveling horizontally with an initial velocity of 20 meters/second and, 2.0 seconds later, a
Nutka1998 [239]

The acceleration of the ball is 5 m/s^2. This can be calculated using a formula that relates the change in velocity, acceleration, and time. This formula is:

Vf = Vi + at

where:
Vf = final velocity
Vi = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

Substituting the values gives:

30 = 20 + a(2)

Precision is how close a series of measurements are to ______
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Accuracy is how close a measured value is to an accepted value. <u>Precision is how close measurements are to one another.</u> To make measurements, you have to evaluate both the accuracy and the precision to get a correct value.

A projectile is fired directly upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 112 f/sec its distance s above the ground afte
Travka [436]

Answer:

3.48 seconds

Explanation:

At maximum height Vf=0 m/s

Vf= Vi - g*t

⇒g*t= Vi

⇒t= Vi/g

⇒t= 112/32.17 sec

⇒ t= 3.48 s

so the projectile will achieve its maximum height in 3.48 seconds.

Superman attempts to drink water through a very long vertical straw. With his great strength, he achieves maximum possible sucti
Stells [14]

Answer:

10.32874 m

Explanation:

P_a = Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height of water

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

If the walls of the tube do not collapse that means that maximum pressure inside will be the atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure is given by

P_a=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{P_a}{\rho g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{101325}{1000\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=10.32874\ m

The maximum height to which Superman can lift the water is 10.32874 m

On the Moon there is no atmosphere so no atmospheric pressure which means when the straw is placed in water water will not rise in the tube.
