A woman fires a rifle with barrel length of 0.5400 m. Let (0, 0) be where the 125 g bullet begins to move, and the bullet travel

s in the +x-direction. The force exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is (16,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x2) N, where x is in meters. A) Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.
B) If the barrel is 1.05 m long, how much work is done?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of barrel =0.54m

Mass of bullet=125g=0.125kg

Force extend

F=16,000+10,000x-26,000x²

a. Work done is given as

W= ∫Fdx

W= ∫(16,000+10,000x-26,000x² dx from x=0 to x=0.54m

W=16,000x+10,000x²/2 -26,000x³/3 from x=0 to x=0.54m

W=16,000x+5,000x²- 8666.667x³ from x=0 to x=0.54m

W= 16,000(0.54) + 5000(0.54²) - 8666.667(0.54³) +0+0-0

W=8640+1458-1364.69

W=8733.31J

The workdone by the gas on the bullet is 8733.31J

b. Work done is given as

Work done when the length=1.05m

W= ∫Fdx

W= ∫(16,000+10,000x-26,000x² dx from x=0 to x=1.05m

W=16,000x+10,000x²/2 -26,000x³/3 from x=0 to x=1.05m

W=16,000x+5,000x²- 8666.667x³ from x=0 to x=1.05mm

W= 16,000(1.05) + 5000(1.05²) - 8666.667(1.05³) +0+0-0

W=16800+5512.5-10032.75

W=12,279.75J

The workdone by the gas on the bullet is 12,279.75J

A 0.71 W point source emits sound waves isotropically. Assuming that the energy of the waves is conserved, find the intensity (a

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

(a) 2.88×10⁻² W/m²

(b) 8.36×10⁻³ W/m²

Explanation:

The intensity of sound from an isotropic point source, with distance L is given as

I = P/(4πL²) .................................... Equation 1

Where I = intensity of sound, P = Power from the source, L = length, π = pie.

(a)

1.4 m from the source.

I = P/(4πL²)

Given: P = 0.71 W, L = 1.4 m, π = 3.14.

Substitute into equation 1

I = 0.71/(4×3.14×1.4²)

I = 0.71/24.6176

I = 0.0288 W/m².

I = 2.88×10⁻² W/m²

(b) 2.6 m from the source.

Given: P = 0.71 W, L = 2.6 m, π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 1

I = 0.71/(4×3.14×2.6²)

I = 0.71/84.9056

I = 0.00836 W/m²

I = 8.36×10⁻³ W/m²

In a physics lab experiment, a compressed spring launches a 24 g metal ball at a 35o angle above the horizontal. Compressing the

Levart [38]

Answer:

k = 45.95 N/m

Explanation:

First, we will find the launch speed of the ball by using the formula for the horizontal range of the projectile.

$R = \frac{v_{o}^{2}\ Sin\ 2\theta}{g} \\\\v_{o}^{2} = \frac{Rg}{Sin\ 2\theta}\\$

where,

Vo = Launch Speed = ?

R = Horizontal Range = 5.3 m

θ = Launch Angle = 35°

Therefore,

$v_{o}^{2} = \frac{(5.3\ m)(9.81\ m/s^{2})}{Sin\ 2(35^{o})}\\$

v₀² = 55.33 m²/s²

Now, we know that the kinetic energy gain of ball is equal to the potential energy stored by spring:

$Kinetic\ Energy\ Gained\ By\ Ball = Elastic\ Potential\ Energy\ Stored\ in \ Spring\\\frac{1}{2}mv_{o}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}\\\\k = \frac{mv_{o}^{2}}{x^2} \\$

where,

k = spring constant = ?

x = compression = 17 cm = 0.17 m

m = mass of ball = 24 g = 0.024 kg

Therefore,

$k = \frac{(0.024\ kg)(55.33\ m^2/s^2)}{(0.17\ m)^2} \\$

<u>k = 45.95 N/m</u>

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.

Katen [24]

Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.

So we can write:

$W=K_f - K_i$

where in this problem:

W = -36.733 J is the work performed on the car (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion of the car)

$K_i = 66,120 J$ is the initial kinetic energy of the car

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy

Solving for Kf,

$K_f = W+K_i = -36,733+66,120=29,387 J$

The kinetic energy of the car can be also written as

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where:

m = 661 kg is the mass of the car

v is its final speed

Solving, we find

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s$
