The Law of Universal Gravitation

- Gravity is an attractive force that pulls two objects toward one another.
Gravity is stronger coming from heavy objects when compared to light objects. The force of gravity weakens as the distance between objects increases.

- All objects in the universe feel the effects of gravity. Us humans feel the Earth’s gravitational pull towards its center. The Sun, which is larger than the other planets, pulls all of them toward itself, and each planet pulls back against the Sun. Since they are much smaller than the Sun, their pull is much weaker.

- Humans have a gravitational pull toward other humans, but it is weak and not noticeable. Therefore, the force of gravity diminishes with the decrease in size.

The force due of attraction between two bodies is proportional to the mass of both objects but inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

a bullet moving with a velocity of 100m/s pierce a block of wood and moves out with a velocityof 10 m/s.if the thickness of the

erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is 71 m/s.

The bullet of mass m moving with a velocity u has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed v when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force F on the bullet and the thickness of the block is x then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

$W=Fx$

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

$W=Fx=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v^2)......(1)$

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v₁.

Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

$F(\frac{x}{2} )=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v_1^2)......(2)$

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v₁.

$\frac{\frac{Fx}{2} }{Fx} =\frac{(u^2-v_1^2)}{(u^2-v^2)} \\\frac{100^2-v_1^2}{100^2-10^2} =\frac{1}{2} \\v_1^2=5050\\v_1=71.06 m/s$

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s

D section a only still need help on this

SIZIF [17.4K]

Acceleration means speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. The graph doesn't show anything about direction, so we just have to examine it for speeding up or slowing down ... any change of speed.

The y-axis of this graph IS speed. So the height of a point on the line is speed. If the line is going up or down, then speed is changing.

Sections a, c, and d are all going up or down. Section b is the only one where speed is not changing. So we can't be sure about b, because we don't know if the track may be curving ... the graph can't tell us that. But a, c, and d are DEFINITELY showing acceleration.

If a vehicle accelerating at 2.7 m/s2what is it's velocity at 20 meters 12.63m/s,1.03m/s,10.39m/s,6.39m/s

netineya [11]

Answer:

The final velocity of the vehicle is 10.39 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the vehicle, a = 2.7 m/s²

distance moved by the vehicle, d = 20 m

The final velocity of the vehicle is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2ah

v² = 0 + 2 x 2.7 x 20

v² = 108

v = √108

v = 10.39 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the vehicle is 10.39 m/s.
