A 15-g bullet pierces a sand bag that is 48cm thick. The initial speed of the bullet is 39 m/s and it emerged from the sandbag a

t speed 27 m/s. What is the average magnitude of the friction force that slowed the bullet as it traveled through the bag?

We can use the conservation of energy to solve this problem. 

We know the bullet goes in at 39m/s and leaves with 27m/s and some energy lost. We can model this using the kinetic equation energy.

\frac{1}{2}(0.015)(39)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.015)(27)^2 +U_{L}

The "U" is the energy lost when the bullet went through the bag. Solving for U, we get:

U= \frac{1}{2}(0.015)(39)^2- \frac{1}{2}(0.015)(27)^2= 5.94J

Next we know the bag is 48cm thick and that F*d=W, rearranging this equation we get:

F= \frac{W}{d} =  \frac{(5.94J)}{0.48m} = 12.375N

F = 12.375N

As a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit. the current flowing through a resistor isa) increasingb) decreasingc) constant
Montano1993 [528]
<h2>Answer: decreasing</h2>

An RC circuit is an electrical circuit composed of resistors and capacitors, where the charging time T of the circuit is proportional to the magnitude of the electrical resistance R and the capacity C of the capacitor.  

As shown below:

T=R.C

In this context, the electrical resistance is the opposition to the flow of electrons when moving through a conductor.

Therefore:

<h2>When a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit, the current flowing through a resistor <u>decreases</u>.</h2>

And the correct option is b.

The angle between incident ray and reflected ray is 80 degrees. What is the value of angle of incidence?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The angle of incident ray is 40°.

Explanation:

Given that the angle of incident and reflected ray are the same. In this question, we had given that both angles added up will gives you 80° so you have to divide it by 2 :

incident + reflected = 80°

Let incident = reflected = θ

θ + θ = 80°

2θ = 80°

θ = 80° ÷ 2

= 40°
