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

The distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating is 1900 nm. The grating is illuminated at normal incidence with a

SashulF [63]

Answer:

3.28 degree

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating, d=1900nm= $1900\times 10^{-9}m$

Where $1nm=10^{-9} m$

$\lambda_2=400nm=400\times10^{-9}m$

$\lambda_1=700nm=700\times 10^{-9}m$

We have to find the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum.

We know that

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})$

Using the formula

m=1

$\theta_1=sin^{-1}(\frac{1\times700\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})$

$\theta=21.62^{\circ}$

Now, m=2

$\theta_2=sin^{-1}(\frac{2\times400\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})$

$\theta_2=24.90^{\circ}$

$\Delta \theta=\theta_2-\theta_1$

$\Delta \theta=24.90-21.62$

$\Delta \theta=3.28^{\circ}$

Hence, the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum=3.28 degree

A ball is launched from ground level at 20 m/s at an angle of 40° above the

DedPeter [7]

(a) The ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is given by

<em>y</em> = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> :

0 = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

0 = <em>t</em> ((20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> )

<em>t</em> = 0 or (20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> = 0

The first time refers to where the ball is initially launched, so we omit that solution.

(20 m/s) sin(40º) = 1/2 <em>g t</em>

<em>t</em> = (40 m/s) sin(40º) / <em>g</em>

<em>t</em> ≈ 2.6 s

(b) At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity. In the vertical direction, the ball is in free fall and only subject to the downward acceleration <em>g</em>. So

0² - ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² = 2 (-<em>g</em>) <em>y</em>

where <em>y</em> in this equation refers to the maximum height of the ball. Solve for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² / (2<em>g</em>)

<em>y</em> ≈ 8.4 m

20 quantities and classified them in vector and scaler quantities

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A scalar quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has only magnitude, for example, mass and electric charge. On the other hand, a vector quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction like force and weight.
