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

Two astronauts (each with mass 100 kg) are drifting together through space. They are connected to each other by a rope 5 m in le
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

1000 kgm²/s, 400 J

1000 kgm²/s, 1000 J

600 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of astronauts = 100 kg

d = Diameter

r = Radius = \frac{d}{2}

v = Velocity of astronauts = 2 m/s

Angular momentum of the system is given by

L=mvr+mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2\times 100\times 2\times 2.5\\\Rightarrow L=1000\ kgm^2/s

The angular momentum of the system is 1000 kgm²/s

Rotational energy is given by

K=I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}(mr^2)\left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2\\\Rightarrow K=mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=100\times 2^2\\\Rightarrow K=400\ J

The rotational energy of the system is 400 J

There no external toque present so the initial and final angular momentum will be equal to the initial angular momentum 1000 kgm²/s

L_i=L_f\\\Rightarrow 2mv_ir_i=2mv_fr_f\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{v_ir_i}{r_f}\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{2\times 2.5}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow v_f=10\ m/s

Energy

E_2=mv_f^2\\\Rightarrow E_2=100\times 10\\\Rightarrow E_2=1000\ J

The new energy will be 1000 J

Work done will be the change in the kinetic energy

W=E_2-E\\\Rightarrow W=1000-400\\\Rightarrow W=600\ J

The work done is 600 J

Q7) A box sliding with a velocity of 5 m/s accelerates at 2 m/s^2. How
grigory [225]

Answer:

The box displacement after 6 seconds is 66 meters.

Explanation:

Let suppose that velocity given in statement represents the initial velocity of the box and, likewise, the box accelerates at constant rate. Then, the displacement of the object (\Delta s), in meters, can be determined by the following expression:

\Delta s = v_{o}\cdot t+\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2} (1)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial velocity, in meters per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

a - Acceleration, in meters per square second.

If we know that v_{o} = 5\,\frac{m}{s}, t = 6\,s and a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the box displacement after 6 seconds is:

\Delta s = 66\,m

The box displacement after 6 seconds is 66 meters.

A 1500kg car double its speed from 50km/h to 100km/h. By how many times does the kinetic energy from the car's forward motion in
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inital KE = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) * 1500 * 50^2 = 1,875,000 J  

Final KE = (1/2) * 1500 * 100^2 = 7,500,000 J  

But  ,

4 * 1875000 = 7500000

so the KE has increased by 4 times.

Which of the following choices defines energy in scientific terms?
snow_tiger [21]
1) B. Energy is the ability to do work

2) C. Energy is conserved, it just goes from one form to another.

3) Work = Force x displacement
= 300 x 100 = 30,000 Joules

4) leaning a brick because no displacement is taking place.

5) They change the amount/strength or direction of the force needed.

6) Less force is needed and applied over a longer distance.

7) Heat is the flow of thermal energy from one object to another.

Earth's subsystems are the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Energy and matter are transferred when Earth's sub
Leona [35]

Answer:

ok

Explanation:

The Earth is made of several subsystems or "spheres" that interact to form a complex and continuously changing whole called the Earth system. Scale

Processes operating in the Earth system take place on spatial scales varying from fractions of millimeters to thousands of kilometers, and on time scales that range from milliseconds to billions of years.

Examples of instantaneous - breathing; rotation of the Earth; earthquake

Examples of long term - making coal; plate tectonics

Cycles

The Earth system is characterized by numerous overlapping cycles in which matter is recycled over and over again. Cycles involve multiple spheres and systems interactions.

Examples of cycles: day and night; rock cycle; seasons

Energy

The Earth system is powered by energy from two major sources: the Sun and the planet's internal heat.

Humans and the Earth System

People are part of the Earth system and they impact and are impacted by its materials and processes.
