Ignoring air resistance, the bullet's horizontal velocity is constant:

$v_x=v_{0x}=100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

In 1.3 seconds, we can expect it to travel

$v_xt=\left(100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(1.3\,\mathrm s)=130\,\mathrm m$

A rubber ball and a lump of clay have equal mass. They are thrown with equal speed against a wall. The ball bounces back with ne

gregori [183]

Answer:

The ball experiences the greater momentum change

Explanation:

The momentum change of each object is given by:

$\Delta p = m \Delta v= m (v-u)$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

Both objects have same mass m and same initial velocity u. So we have:

- For the ball, the final velocity is

$v=-u$

Since it bounces back (so, opposite direction --> negative sign) with same speed (so, the magnitude of the final velocity is still u). So the change in momentum is

$\Delta p=m(v-u)=m((-u)-u)=-2mu$

- For the clay, the final velocity is

$v=0$

since it sticks to the wall. So, the change in momentum is

$\Delta p = m(v-u)=m(0-u)=-mu$

So we see that the greater momentum change (in magnitude) is experienced by the ball.

Answer:

6666.67 Newtons

Explanation:

The formula F=ma (force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration) can be used to calculate the answer to this question.

In this case:

mass= 0.1mg= 1*10^-7 kg
velocity= 4.00*10^3 m/s
time= 6.00*10^-8 s

Using velocity and time, acceleration can be calculated as:

a= 6.667*10^10 m/s²

Substituting these values into the formula F=ma, the answer is:

F= (1*10^-7)kg * (6.667*10^10) m/s²
F= 6666.67 Newtons of force
