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

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at
jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given:  u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s

Bess [88]

Answer:

C. 85%

Explanation:

A cylinder fitted with a piston exists in a high-pressure chamber (3 atm) with an initial volume of 1 L. If a sufficient quantity of a hydrocarbon material is combusted inside the cylinder to produce 1 kJ of energy, and if the volume of the chamber then increases to 1.5 L, what percent of the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat?

A. 15%

B. 30%

C. 85%

D. 100%

work done by the system will be

W=PdV

p=pressure

dV=change in volume

3tam will be changed to N/m^2

3*1.01*10^5

W=3.03*10^5*(1.5-1)

convert 0.5L to m^3

5*10^-4

W=3.03*10^5*5*10^-4

W=152J

therefore

to find the percentage used

152/1000*100

15%

100%-15%

85% uf the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat
