The speed of a bullet as it travels down the barrel of a rifle toward the opening is given by the expression v = (-5.15 multipli

ed by 107) t2 + (2.30 multiplied by 105) t, where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The acceleration of the bullet just as it leaves the barrel is zero.
(b) Determine the length of time the bullet is accelerated.

(c) Find the speed at which the bullet leaves the barrel.

(d) What is the length of the barrel?

I'm assuming you're in calculus based physics. I apologize if otherwise. Let's come up with equations for distance and acceleration as functions of time. From the definition of acceleration we know that<span>a=<span><span>dv</span><span>dt</span></span></span>Taking the derivative of v with respect to t yields<span>a=<span><span>dv</span><span>dt</span></span>=(−5.15∗107)∗2∗t+(2.30∗105)</span> From the definition of distance, we know that <span>v=<span><span>dx</span><span>dt</span></span>→dx=vdt</span>Integrating velocity yields<span>x=(−5.15∗107)∗<span>(<span><span>t3</span>3</span>)</span>+(2.30∗105)∗<span>(<span><span>t2</span>2</span>)</span>+<span>x0</span></span> where <span>x0</span> is the starting position. If acceleration is zero when the bullet leaves the barrel, we can use our equation for acceleration to determine the time the bullet is in the barrel. This is seen as<span>0=(−5.15∗107)∗2∗t+(2.30∗105)→t=<span><span>−(2.30∗105)</span><span>(−5.15∗107)</span></span></span> Knowing time, we can solve for the velocity as the bullet leaves the barrel by plugging time back into our given equation for velocity. The length of the barrel can be solved by plugging time back into our equation for distance and setting <span><span>x0</span>=0</span><span>.</span>

'The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror'.This is the correct statement that corrects an error on the site.

<h3>What is the law of reflection?</h3>

The law of reflection specifies that upon reflection from a downy surface, the slope of the reflected ray is similar to the slope of the incident ray.

The reflected ray is consistently in the plane determined by the incident ray and perpendicular to the surface at the point of reference of the incident ray.

When the light rays descend on the smooth surface, the angle of reflection is similar to the angle of incidence, also the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in a similar plane.

Hence 'The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror'.This is the correct statement that corrects an error on the site

A circular-motion addict of mass 80 kg rides a Ferris wheel around in a vertical circle of radius 10 m at a constant speed of 6.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass=80 kg

Radius,r=10 m

Speed,v=6.1 m/s

a.Time period,T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}=\frac{2\pi\times 10}{6.1}=10.3 s

b.F_N=mg-\frac{mv^2}{r}

Substitute the values

F_N=80\times 9.8-\frac{80\times(6.1)^2}{10}=486 N

c.F_N=mg+\frac{mv^2}{r}

Substitute the values

F_N=80\times 9.8+\frac{80\times (6.1)^2}{10}=1081.7 N

The equation below is for potassium oxide.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: The ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed, and remains conserved. The mass of products must be same as that of the reactants.

Thus the number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the equation so as to keep the mass same and thus balanced chemical equations are written.

K exists as atoms and oxygen exist as molecule which consists of 2 atoms. The ratio of number of atoms on both sides of the reaction are same and thus the ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2.

the density of a steel is 7.8.find the mass of steel cube of side 10 cm. find volume of steel if the mass is 8kg​
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Mass of the steel cube =  7800 kg

Volume of the steel  = 1.025 cubic centimetre

Explanation:

Given:

The density of the steel   =  7.8

Side of the cube = 12 cm

<u>(1)The mass of steel cube :</u>

We know that,

Density  = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

We are given with density and sides of the cube

then volume of the cube

= (side)^3

= 10^3

= 1000 cubic centimetre

Now

7.8 = \frac{mass}{1000}

mass = 7.8 \times 1000

mass =  7800 kg

<u>(2)volume of steel:</u>

Given the mass  = 8 kg

Density  = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Substituting the values

7.8 = \frac{8}{volume}

volume = \frac{8}{7.8}

volume = 1.025 cubic centimetre
