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

We have discovered some exoplanets that are still forming from a nebula. How might those planets change over time?
Rudik [331]
Based on several theories made by scientists, planets are formed because of the accumulation of gases and other particles that are attracted to each other. These accumulated gases form into clumps and eventually the clumps get bigger and turn into a big orbital mass. The exoplanets may experience change over time through the observance of its orbit in a particular axis, and if there are other debris that might affect the planet's continuous growth.

A 50-kg person stands 1.5 m away from one end of a uniform 6.0-m-long scaffold of mass 70.0 kg.
babymother [125]

Answer

given,

mass of the person, m = 50 Kg

length of scaffold = 6 m

mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg

distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m

Tension in the vertical rope = ?

now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.

T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g

T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8  + 70 x 9.8

T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)

system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.

taking moment about rope with tension T₂.

now,

T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0

'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.

6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3

6 T₁ = 4263

    T₁ = 710.5 N

from equation (1)

T₂ = 1176 - 710.5

 T₂ = 465.5 N

hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N

A block is pulled along a horizontal surface at a constant speed by a force (14.1i 0 j 5.1k). The direction k is perpendicular t
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

W =84.6\ Nm

Explanation:

given,

F = 14.1 i + 0 j + 5.1 k

displacement = 6 m

Assuming block is moving in x- direction

we know,

 dW = F dx

\int dW = F\int dx

W = F\int_0^6 dx

W = F[x]_0^6

W = 14.1 \times 6

W =84.6\ Nm

hence, work done by the force is equal to W =84.6\ Nm
