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.

It's called rifling, to stabilise the bullet.

A proton moves with a velocity of v with arrow = (4î − 6ĵ + k) m/s in a region in which the magnetic field is B with arrow = (î

nalin [4]

Answer:

F = [(6.4 × 10⁻¹⁹)î + (8.0 × 10⁻¹⁹)ĵ + (22.4 × 10⁻¹⁹)k] N

Magnitude of F = (2.466 × 10⁻¹⁸) N

Explanation:

The magnetic force, F, on a given charge, q, moving with velocity, v, in a magnetic field, B, is given as the vector product

F = qv × B

where v = (4î − 6ĵ + k) m/s

B = (î + 2ĵ − k) T

The particle is a proton, hence,

q = (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹) C

F = qv × B = q (v × B)

(v × B) is given as (4î − 6ĵ + k) × (î + 2ĵ − k)

The cross product is evaluated as a determinant of

| î ĵ k |

|4 -6 1 |

|1 2 -1 |

î [(-6)(-1) - (2)(1)] - ĵ [(4)(-1) - (1)(1)] + k [(4)(2) - (-6)(1)]

î (6 - 2) - ĵ (-4 - 1) + k (8 + 6) = (4î + 5ĵ + 14k)

(v × B) = (4î + 5ĵ + 14k)

F = q (v × B) = (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹) (4î + 5ĵ + 14k)

F = [(6.408 × 10⁻¹⁹)î + (8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹)ĵ + (22.428 × 10⁻¹⁹)k] N

Magnitude of F =

√[(6.408 × 10⁻¹⁹)² + (8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹)² + (22.428 × 10⁻¹⁹)²]

Magnitude of F = (2.466 × 10⁻¹⁸) N

Hope this Helps!!!

A hippo drives 42 km due East. He then turns and drives 28 km at 25° East of South. He turns again and drives 32 km at 40° North

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

a) Please, see the attched figure

b) Total displacement R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

c) R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The hippo is 78.4 km from his starting point.

The total distance traveled is 102 km

Explanation:

a)Please, see the attached figure.

b) The vector A can be expressed as:

A = (magnitude * cos α; magnitude * sin α)

Where

magnitude = 42 km

α= 0

Then,

A = (42 km ; 0) or 42 km i

In the same way, we can proceed with the other vectors:

B = ( Bx ; By)

where

(apply trigonometry of right triangles: sen α = opposite / hypotenuse and

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse. See the figure to determine which component of vector B is the opposite and adjacent side to α)

Bx = 28 km * sin 25 = 11.8 km

By = 28 km * cos 25 = -25.4 km (it has to be negative since it is directed towards the negative vertical region according to our reference system)

B = (11.8 km; -25.4 km) or 11.8 km i - 25.4 km j

C = (Cx; Cy)

where

Cx = 32 km * cos 40° = 24.5 km

Cy = 32 km * sin 40 = 20.6 km

C = (24.5 km; 20.6 km)

Then:

R = A+B+C = (42 km + 11.8 km + 24.5 km; 0 - 25.4 km + 20.6 km)

= (78.3 km; -4.8 km) or 78.3 km i -4.8 km j

c) R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

The magnitude of R is:

$magnitude = \sqrt{(78.3)^{2 }+ (-4.8)^{2}}= 78.4 km$

Using trigonometry, we can calculate the angle:

Knowing that

tan α = opposite / adjacent

and that

opposite = Ry = -4.8 km

adjacent = Rx = 78.3 km

Then:

tan α = -4.8 km / 78.4 km

α = -3.5°

We can now write the vector R in magnitude and direction form:

R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The displacement of the hipo relative to the starting point is the magnitude of vector R calculated in c):

magnitude R = 78. 4 km

The total distance traveled is the sum of the magnitudes of each vector:

Total distance = 42 km + 28 km + 32 km = 102 km

Which category of galaxy does not have a distinctive shape?

mylen [45]

The category of galaxy which does not have a distinctive shape is D. an irregular galaxy.
A spiral galaxy has a spiral shape, an elliptical galaxy has an elliptical shape, and a barred-spiral galaxy has a barred-spiral shape. The only galaxy type which does not have a constant shape is an irregular galaxy.
