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

An ice cube at 0c was dropped into 30.0 g of water in a cup at 45.0c. at the instant that all of the ice was melted, the tempera

Ede4ka [16]

The amount of heat given by the water to the block of ice can be calculated by using
$Q=m_w C_{sw} \Delta T_w$
where
$m_w = 30 g$ is the mass of the water
$C_{sw}=4.18 J/(g ^{\circ}C)$ is the specific heat capacity of water
$\Delta T_w = 45.0^{\circ}-19.5^{\circ}C = 20.5^{\circ}C$ is the variation of temperature of the water.

Using these numbers, we find
$Q=(30 g)(4.18 J/(g^{\circ}C))(20.5^{\circ}C)=2571 J$

This is the amount of heat released by the water, but this is exactly equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the ice, used to melt it into water according to the formula:
$Q = m_i L_f$
where $m_i$ is the mass of the ice while $L_f =334 J/g$ is the specific latent heat of fusion of the ice.
Re-arranging this formula and using the heat Q that we found previously, we can calculate the mass of the ice:
$m_i = \frac{Q}{L_f}= \frac{2571 J}{334 J/g} =7.7 g$

olga2289 [7]

Well the basic equation for velocity is v=d/t where d is distance and t is time. So v=2m/50s and the answer is v=0.04meter/second.
