Answer:

The work done by the tree in stopping the bullet is 0.00294 J

Explanation:

To determine how much work done by the tree in stopping the bullet, we first determine the force of the bullet.

Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Force = 0.0025 x 9.8 = 0.0245 N

Work done = Force x distance

                  = 0.0245 x 0.12

                  = 0.00294 J

Therefore, the work done by the tree in stopping the bullet is 0.00294 J

Answer: Work done = 153.125Joules, Work done = 0.003Nm

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.

Mathematically,

K.E = 1/2MV²

Where;

M = mass of the body = 2.5g = 0.0025kg

V = velocity of the body = 350m/s

Substituting this values in the formula, we have;

K.E = 1/2× 0.0025×350²

K.E = 153.125Joules

Work done is the force applied to body to cause it to move through a distance.

Work = Force × distance

Force = ma = 0.0025 × 10

Force = 0.025N

Distance = 12cm = 0.12m

Work = 0.025×0.12

Work = 0.003Nm

work done by the tree in stopping the bullet is 0.003N

2. A truck speeds up from a velocity of 6 m/s to 14 m/s in 4 seconds. What is the trucks acceleration? SHOW YOUR WORK
zavuch27 [327]

#2

As it is given here

initial speed is

v_i = 6 m/s

After 4 seconds the final speed is

v_f = 14 m/s

so here we can use the formula of acceleration using kinematics

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = \frac{14 - 6}{4}

a = 2 m/s^2

so here it will accelerate at 2 m/s^2 rate.

#3

As it is given here

initial it starts from rest

v_i = 0 m/s

After 2.5 seconds the final speed is

v_f = 15 m/s

so here we can use the formula of acceleration using kinematics

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = \frac{15 - 0}{2.5}

a = 6 m/s^2

so here it will accelerate at 6 m/s^2 rate.

You push against a steamer trunk with a force of 800 n at an angle alpha with the horizontal . the trunk is on a flat floor and
galina1969 [7]
The formula for this problem that we will be using is:
F * cos α = m * g * μs where:F = 800m = 87g = 9.8
cos α = m*g*μs/F= 87*9.8*0.55/800= 0.59 So solving the alpha, find the arccos above.
α = arccos 0.59 = 54 ° is the largest value of alpha

Lesechka [4]

Answer:4.21 \times 10^{-10} J/cm^4

1 kPa= 10^3 Pa

1 km=10^5 cm

1kPa/km=0.01 Pa/cm

1kPa/km=10^{-8} J/cm^4

\Rightarrow r= 0.0421 kPa/km= 0.0421 kPa/km \times \frac{10^{-8} J/cm^4}{1 kPa/km}= 0.0421 \times 10^{-8}J/cm^4=4.21 \times 10^{-10} J/cm^4

the base of a rectangular vessel measure 10m by 18cm. water is poured into a depth of 4cm. (a) what is the pressure on the base?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a) P =392.4[Pa]; b) F = 706.32[N]

Explanation:

With the input data of the problem we can calculate the area of the tank base

L = length = 10[m]

W = width = 18[cm] = 0.18[m]

A = W * L = 0.18*10

A = 1.8[m^2]

a)

Pressure can be calculated by knowing the density of the water and the height of the water column within the tank which is equal to h:

P = density * g *h

where:

density = 1000[kg/m^3]

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

h = heigth = 4[cm] = 0.04[m]

P = 1000*9.81*0.04

P = 392.4[Pa]

The force can be easily calculated knowing the relationship between pressure and force:

P = F/A

F = P*A

F = 392.4*1.8

F = 706.32[N]
