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.

A boy whirls a stone in a horizontal circle of radius 1.4 m and at height 1.5 m above ground level. The string breaks, and the s
balandron [24]

Answer:233.23 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

radius of circle=1.4 m

Height of stone above ground=1.5 m

Horizontal distance(R)=10 m

It is given at the time of break stone flies horizontally thus stone to cover a height of 1.5 m in time t before reaching ground

1.5=0+\frac{gt^2}{2}

t=0.55 s

Initial horizontal velocity at the time of break is given by u

R=u\times t

10=u\times 0.55

u=18.07 m/s

Therefore magnitude of centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=\frac{u^2}{r}=\frac{18.07^2}{1.4}=233.23 m/s^2

Using 6400 km as the radius of Earth, calculate how high above Earth’s surface you would have to be in order to weigh 1/16th of
FrozenT [24]
Gravity obeys the inverse square law.  At 6400 km above the center of the Earth (Earth's surface) you weigh x.  Twice that reduces your weight to 1/4th.  Four times that height reduces your weight to 1/16th.  4 times 6400 km is 25,600 km.  But that is above the center of the earth, and the question requests the height above the surface, so we deduct 6400 km to arrive at our final answer:  19,200 km.

Incidentally, it doesn't exactly work the opposite way.  At the center of the Earth the mass would be equally distributed around you, and you would therefore be weightless.
