The correct choice is

A) rifling

Rifling is a pattern of sequence of raised and recessed portions. These raised portions are known as lands and recessed portions as grooves. these lands and grooves helps in providing spin to the bullet as it is fired. This spin makes the bullet to penetrate deeper into the target and cause severe damage.

Andrews [41]

Answer: 13.94 tons/s

Explanation:

On adding heat energy to a substance, the temperature would be changed by a particular amount. This relationship between heat energy and temperature is often different for each material. The specific heat, is a value that describes how they relate.

Heat energy = mass flow rate * specific heat * Δ T

Q = MC (ΔΦ)

Heat energy, Q= 3.5*10^8J

Mass flow rate, M= ?

Specific heat, C= 4184j/KgC

Change in temperature, ΔΦ= 6°C

M = Q/CΔΦ

M = (3.5*10^8)/4184*6

M = 13942kg/s

M = 13.94 tons/s

Jada is rowing a boat across a river that has a current of 5 m/s in the ˆ j direction. Leanne, standing on the shore, observes J
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: d. 8.25 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that Current= 5 m/s in j direction

Velocity= 8 m/s i + 3 m/s j

Now, we have to find Jada's speed with respect to the water.

First we find Jada's velocity with respect to water

v= (8 i + 3 j) - (5 j)

v= 8i - 2 j

To find the speed, we take the magnitude of this velocity vector we have

|v|= \sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2}

|v|= \sqrt{68} = 8.246 m/s

which comes out to be around = 8.25 m/s

So option d is correct.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

0.66c

Explanation:

Use length contraction equation:

L = L₀ √(1 − (v²/c²))

where L is the contracted length,

L₀ is the length at 0 velocity,

v is the velocity,

and c is the speed of light.

900 = 1200 √(1 − (v²/c²))

3/4 = √(1 − (v²/c²))

9/16 = 1 − (v²/c²)

v²/c² = 7/16

v = ¼√7 c

v ≈ 0.66 c
