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

A student connects a 1 hp motor to a bicycle. How much time will it take for the bicycle to accelerate from rest to a speed of 5
bija089 [108]

Answer:

t=2s

Explanation:

The definition of power is:

P=\frac{W}{t}

And the work-energy theorem states that:

W=\Delta K

Since the movement starts from rest, we have that:

\Delta K=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}

And putting all together:

P=\frac{mv_f^2}{2t}

Since we want the time taken:

t=\frac{mv_f^2}{2P}

Which for our values is:

t=\frac{(120kg)(5m/s)^2}{2(746W)}=2s

You drive your car in a straight line at 15 m/s for 10 kilometers, then at 25 m/s for another 10 kilometers.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s

B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.

We are given;

d1 = 10 km = 10000 m

d2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Speed; v1 = 15 m/s

Speed; v2 = 25 m/s

Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time

Thus:

d1 = v1 x t1

t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds

Also,

d2 = v2 x t2

t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds

Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s

From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;

More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.
