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 the net force acting on an object that is not accelerating in the horizontal axis?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

.......................

Explanation:

A net force = unbalanced force. If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.

What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: (A) The number of waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time.  

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f. Visible light has a wavelength range from ~400 nm to ~700 nm.

Frequency: Is the number of waves that pass a certain point in a specified amount of time.

Trough: The low point of the wave cycle.

Wavelength: The distance between two successive peaks.

Electromagnetic wave: One of the waves that are propagated by simultaneous periodic variations of electric and magnetic field intensity.
