Three bullets are fired simultaneously by three guns aimed toward the center of a circle where they mash into a stationary lump.

The angle between the guns is 120°. Two of the bullets have a mass of 5.30 10-3 kg and are fired with a speed of 301 m/s. The third bullet is fired with a speed of 554 m/s and we wish to determine the mass of this bullet.

Answer:

2,87 * 10^{-3}

Explanation:

When the bullets meet at the center and collide, since momentum is a vectoral quantity, their momentum vectors even up and are sumof zero. Formula of momentum is P = m.v , where m is mass and v is velocity. Let’s name the first two bullets as x,y and the one which mass is unknown as z. Then calculate momentum of x and y:

Px= 5,30 * 10^{-3} * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s

Py= 5,30 * 10^{-3} * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s

The angle between x and y bullets is 120°, and we know that if the angle between two equal magnitude vectors is 120°, the magnitude of the resultant vector will be equal to first two and placed in exact middle of two vectors. So we can say total momentum of x and y (Px+Py) equals to 1,5953 kg*m/s as well (Shown in the figure).  

For z bullet to equalize the total momentum of x and y bullets, it needs to have the same amount of momentum in the opposite way.

Pz = 1,5953 = m * 554

m = 2,87 * 10^{-3} kg

Which principle explains why the flame bends toward the wind?
kondaur [170]
Bernoulli principle
According to Bernoulli's principle, this faster moving air on the top has a lower pressure than the non-moving air on the bottom. With a greater pressure on the bottom of the paper there is also a greater force pushing up.

A spring that is compressed 14.5 cm from its equilibrium position stores 2.99 J of potential energy. Determine the spring consta
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

284.4233 N/m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant

x = Compression of spring = 14.5 cm

U = Potential energy = 2.99 J

The potential energy of a spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

Rearranging to get the value of k

\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2U}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2\times 2.99}{0.145^2}\\\Rightarrow k=284.4233\ N/m

The spring constant is 284.4233 N/m

Neptune is approximately 4.5 billion kilometers from the sun. What is this distance in AU?
asambeis [7]
Well, one AU is 149,597,870 km. So, we would basically have to divide 4.5 billion km by 149,597,870, right?

4,500,000,000/149,597,870=30.080642 AU.

So, the correct answer would be 30 AU. Hoped this helped!
