A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin

s to move. then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is 16000 10000x - 26000x2, where x is in meters. (a) determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel. (enter your answer to at least two decimal places.) 8.73 kj (b) if the barrel is 0.95 m long, how much work is done

Part a) The work done by the gas on the bullet is the integral of the force in dx, where x is the distance covered by the bullet inside the barrel with respect to the origin:
W= \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {F} \, dx =  \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {(16000+10000x-26000x^2)} \, dx =
=16000x+10000  \frac{x^2}{2} - 26000  \frac{x^3}{3}
By substituting the length of the barrel, L=0.540 m, we find the total work done by the gas on the bullet:
W=16000(0.540m)+10000  \frac{(0.540m)^2}{2} - 26000  \frac{(0.540m)^3}{3}  =
=8733 J=8.73 kJ

part b) The resolution of the problem is the same, we just have to use the new length of the barrel (L=0.95 m) inside the final formula, and we find the new value of the work:
W=16000(0.95m)+10000  \frac{(0.95m)^2}{2} - 26000  \frac{(0.95m)^3}{3}  =
=12280 J=12.28 kJ

solmaris [256]
The type of reaction that occurred in the test tube is ACID BASE REACTION.
Acid base reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react together to form salt and water molecules. It is also known as neutralization reaction. For the question given above, the applicable chemical reaction is as follows:
HF + NaOH = NaF + H2O
 From this chemical reaction, it can be seen that, hydrogen fluoride, which is a weak acid react with sodium hydroxide which is a strong base to produce sodium fluoride, which is a salt and a molecule of water.

What will happen two temperatures if you increase particle motion
nalin [4]

If the temperature is increased the particles gain more kinetic energy or vibrate faster. This means that they move faster and take more space.

Shkiper50 [21]

As we move above up from one trophic level to another in an energy pyramid, what happens to the energy?

a. It decreases from one trophic level to another.
b. It remains the same for each trophic level.
c. It increases from one trophic level to another.

As we move above up from one trophic level to another in an energy pyramid, the energy level decreases from one trophic level to another. The answer is letter A.
