M = 30 g = 0.03 kg, the mass of the bullet
v = 500 m/s, the velocity of the bullet

By definition, the KE (kinetic energy) of the bullet is
KE = (1/2)*m*v²
      = 0.5*(0.03 kg)*(500 m/s)² = 3750 J
Because the bullet comes to rest, the change in mechanical energy is 3750 J.

The work done by the wall to stop the bullet in 12 cm is
W = (1/2)*(F N)*(0.12 m) = 0.06F J

If energy losses in the form of heat or sound waves are ignored, then
W = KE.
That is,
0.06F = 3750
F = 62500 N = 62.5 kN

Answer:
(a) 3750 J
(b) 62.5 kN

What is grandfather Paradox?
olasank [31]

A grandfather paradox is a situation where individual travels to the past and then introduces a change which affects or contradicts the present.

<h3>What is a grandfather paradox?</h3>

A paradox is a situation or statement which involves two contradictions.

A grandfather paradox is a situation which is defined by the ability of an individual to travel to a time in the past usually before the birth of their grandfather and then introduces a change which affects or contradicts the present. For example, killing the grandfather to prevent their birth.

In conclusion, a grandfather paradox is is an event which contradicts the present as a result of a change done to the past.

Sound is a type of mechanical wave and must have a medium through which to travel. Sound will move at different speeds when whic
Alex787 [66]
Hey there!

The answer would be B. The sound moves from air to water.

Sound travels through different mediums. It goes fastest in solids, a little slower in liquids, and slowest in air. Sound is a very fast wave, but remember that mediums can differ that. In a vacuum space, there is no sound at all. (ex. outer space)

Hope this helps !

A dielectric material such as paper is inserted between the plates of a capacitor as the capacitor holds a fixed charge on its p
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the electric field, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance.

Explanation:

A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization

Reika [66]

Complete question:

The coordinate of a particle in meters is given by x(t)=1 6t- 3.0t³ , where the time tis in seconds. The

particle is momentarily at rest at t is:

Select one:

a. 9.3s

b. 1.3s

C. 0.75s

d.5.3s

e. 7.3s

​

Answer:

b. 1.3 s

Explanation:

Given;

position of the particle, x(t)=1 6t- 3.0t³

when the particle is at rest, the velocity is zero.

velocity = dx/dt

dx /dt = 16 - 9t²

16 - 9t² = 0

9t² = 16

t² = 16 /9

t = √(16 / 9)

t = 4/3

t = 1.3 s

Therefore, the particle is momentarily at rest at t = 1.3 s
