If a bullet loses 1/nth of its velocity while passing through a plank,then no of planks required to stop the bullet is?

1 answer:

8 0

Based on the answer provided, it seems the writer wanted you to assume that the energy loss per plank is constant. This is not the same as the bullet losing 1/nth1/nth of its velocity per plank (however, the fact that the question does not mention this assumption arguably makes the question ambiguous).

With this assumption, the energy loss becomes

ΔE = 1/2 mv2 − 1/2 m (v−v/n) 2

and the number of planks NN becomes

N = 1/2mv2 /ΔE = n2/ 2n−1

Otherwise, if you assume that the bullet loses 1/nth1/nth of its velocity per plank, then the answer is N=∞

adelina 88 [10]

The circumference of a circle is (pi) x (diameter)

The circumference of the cupcake is (pi) x (5 cm)

Halfway around is (1/2) x (pi) x (5 cm) = (2.5 pi cm) = about 7.85 cm

The 'why' appears up above, in the first 2 lines of this solution.

what is the mechanical advantage of a crowbar when a worker uses 10N of force to pry open a window that has a resistance of 500N

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of a machine is given by

$MA=\frac{F_{out}}{F_{in}}$

where

$F_{out}$ is the output force

$F_{in}$ is the input force

For the crowbar in this problem,

$F_{in}=10 N$ is the force in input applied by the worker

$F_{out}=500 N$ is the force that the machine must apply in output to overcome the resistance of the window and to open it

Substituting into the equation, we find

$MA=\frac{500}{10}=50$

. If you live in a region that has a particular TV station, you can sometimes pick up some of its audio portion on your FM radio

Reil [10]

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

The low band of the VHF TV Spectrum, spans channels 2-6, from 54 to 88 Mhz.

In the analog TV, in the Americas, the total bandwidth of any channel is 6 Mhz, with the visual carrier modulated in VSS (Vestigial Side Band) at 1.25 Mhz from the lowest frequency of the channel.

The aural carrier is located at 4.5 Mhz from the visual carrier, and is FM modulated.

For Channel 6, which spans between 82 and 88 Mhz, the visual carrier is at 83.25 Mhz, so the aural carrier is at 87.75 Mhz, which falls within the FM Band, so it is possible to listen the audio part of this channel in a FM radio receiver, even at a lower volume, due to the FM radio has a greater deviation than TV aural carrier.
