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

Introduction to Forces<br> Warm-Up Active<br> How do forces affect the motion of an object?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Forces can affect an object.

Balanced forces allow an object to continue moving at a constant motion (law of inertia).

Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.

How do the stars die?
mestny [16]

A star’s death also depends on its mass. The most massive stars quickly exhaust their fuel supply and explode in core-collapse supernovae, some of the most energetic explosions in the universe. A supernova’s radiation can easily (if only briefly) outshine the rest of its host galaxy. The remnant stellar core will form a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how much mass remains. If the core contains between 1.44 and 3 solar masses, that mass will crush into a volume just 10 to 15 miles wide before a quantum mechanical effect known as neutron degeneracy pressure prevents total collapse. The exact upper limit on a neutron star mass isn’t known, but around 3 solar masses, not even neutron degeneracy pressure can combat gravity’s inward crush, and the core collapses to form a black hole.

Imagine a box sitting on a shelf. What forces are acting on the box?
mel-nik [20]

In case of an object sitting at rest on another base, there are two equal and opposite forces – Normal force and the gravity.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

When an object is placed at rest position on another object, there is a force exerted by the surfaces of the two contact objects. This force is denoted as Normal Force.

When an object such as a box is placed on a shelf, its surface exerts a contact force on the base of the shelf- The Normal force directed upward. Meanwhile, the gravity stays at its action and tries to pull the box towards itself.  

Both of these forces however are equal and opposite and therefore, there is zero net force on the box. That's why it remains at rest, holding on Newton's third law.
