A 26-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 630 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit

y 500 m/s. Knowing that the bullet leaves a 50-mm scratch on the surface of the plate and assuming that it has an average speed of 600 m/s while in contact with the plate, determine the magnitude and direction of the impulsive force exerted by the plate on the bullet.

Answer:

  F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

          I = F t = Δp

To find the time we use that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), let's use the uniform movement ratio

        v = d / t

        t = d / v

Reduce SI system

          m = 26 g ( 1 kg/1000g) = 26 10⁻³ kg

          d = 50 mm ( 1m/ 1000 mm) = 50 10⁻³ m

Let's calculate

         t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

         t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

With this value we use the momentum and momentum relationship

        F t = m v - m v₀

As the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

       F = m (v-vo) / t

       F = 26 10⁻³ (-500 - 630) / 8.33 10⁻⁵

       F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

The negative sign indicates that the force is exerted against the bullet

A nuclear fission power plant has an actual efficiency of 32%. If 0.18 MW of power are produced by the nuclear fission, how much
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

 P₀ = 5.76 x 10⁻² MW

Explanation:

given,

efficiency of the power plant = 32%

Power produced by the nuclear fission = 0.18 MW

the power plant output = ?

using formula of efficiency

\eta = \dfrac{P_0}{P}

where P is the power produced in the power plant

          P₀ is the power output of the power plant

\eta = \dfrac{P_0}{P}

0.32 = \dfrac{P_0}{0.18}

 P₀ = 0.18 x 0.32

 P₀ =  0.0576 MW

 P₀ = 5.76 x 10⁻² MW

Power plant output is equal to  P₀ = 5.76 x 10⁻² MW

Please help on this one ? :)
Mamont248 [21]

KE depends on velocity. It is easier to answer this question in terms of the earth.

The closer the object (earth/comet) is to the sun, the faster it moves. that means that the fastest moving point would be as the comet/earth passes through point C.

The slowest speed would be the furthest away from the sun which is point A.

Answer: The faster the planet moves the greater the Kinetic Energy.

The Slower the planet moves, the less the KE.

Point A is where it is slowest with the lowest amount of energy.

Discussion

The formula for KE is KE = 1/2mv^2. The mass of the comet or earth is a constant. It doesn't change no matter which point the comet passes through. If v goes down KE will go down. If v goes up, KE goes up.

Which is a vector quantity?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

D. Velocity

Explanation:

Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. Although a vector has magnitude and direction, it does not have position.

Speed is a scalar quantity – it is the rate of change in the distance travelled by an object, while velocity is a vector quantity – it is the speed of an object in a particular direction.
