A 55.0-gram lead bullet hits a steel plate, both initially at 24 °C. The bullet melts and splatters on impact. Assuming that the

bullet receives 72% of its kinetic energy as heat energy, at what minimum speed must it be traveling to melt on impact? (The melting temperature of Lead is 327°C)

Answer:

Answer:

Answer:

v = 609 m/s

Explanation:

mass of lead bullet, m = 55 g

T1 = 24°C

T2 = 327°C

Let v be the velocity

kinetic energy of bullet

K = 1/2 mv^2 = 0.5 x 0.055 x v^2

72 % of kinetic energy is used to melt the lead bullet .

Heat gained by lead = m x c x ΔT + m x L

where, c be the specific heat of lead and L be the latent heat of lead

c = 536 J/kg°C

L = 23000 J/kg

0.0275 x v^2 = 0.055 (536 x 303 + 23000)

v  = 608.9 m/s

v = 609 m/s

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the equation of Newton's laws of motion

v = u + at where v is final velocity , u is initial velocity and t is time.

150 = 0 + a x 3

a = 50 m / s ²

s = ut + 1/2 at²  ; s is distance travelled

s = 50 x 3 + .5 x 50 x 3²

= 150 + 225

= 375 m .

If a box of supplies is dropped from the cargo hold of an airplane travelling at an altitude of 4,410 meters how long will it ta
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

It will take 30 seconds to reach the ground, and it will be travelling at 294 m/s when it does so. This means that its average velocity was 147 m/s.

Explanation:

d=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Since the initial velocity of a dropped object is 0, we can make this the equation:

d=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2 \\\\4410=\dfac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2 \\\\t^2=900

t=30\text{ seconds}

The final velocity can be calculated with the formula:

v_f=v_o+at

Once again, since there is no initial velocity:

v_f=at \\\\v_f=(9.8)(30)=294m/s

Since the initial velocity is 0, the average vertical velocity is 294/2=147 m/s.

Hope this helps!

A 25 kg box of textbooks rests on a loading ramp that makes an angle α with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction
Lunna [17]

Up until the moment the box starts to slip, the static friction is maximized with magnitude <em>f</em>, so that by Newton's second law,

• the net force acting on the box parallel to the ramp is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>mg</em> sin(<em>α</em>) - <em>f</em> = 0

where <em>mg</em> sin(<em>α</em>) is the magnitude of the parallel component of the box's weight; and

• the net force acting perpendicular to the ramp is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> cos(<em>α</em>) = 0

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force and <em>mg</em> cos(<em>α</em>) is the magnitude of the perpendicular component of weight.

From the second equation we have

<em>n</em> = <em>mg</em> cos(<em>α</em>)

and <em>f</em> = <em>µn</em> = <em>µmg</em> cos(<em>α</em>), where <em>µ</em> is the coefficient of static friction. Substituting these into the first equation gives us

<em>mg</em> sin(<em>α</em>) = <em>µmg</em> cos(<em>α</em>)   ==>   <em>µ</em> = tan(<em>α</em>)   ==>   <em>α</em> = arctan(0.35) ≈ 19.3°
