Answer:

Frictional force will be equal to 126.04 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the bullet m = 28 gram = 0.028 kg

Initial velocity u = 55 m /sec

Width of sand = 30 cm = 0.3 m

So initial kinetic energy E=\frac{1}{2}mu^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.028\times 55^2=42.35j

Final velocity of the bullet v = 18 m /sec

So final kinetic energy E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.028\times 18^2=4.536j

So change in kinetic energy = 42.35 - 4.536 = 37.814 j

From work energy theorem this change in kinetic energy will be equal to work one by frictional force

So f\times 0.3=37.814

f=126.04 N

How long does it take an automobile traveling 66.7 km/h to become even with a car that is traveling in another lane at 52.7 km/h
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The  time taken is  t =  32.5 \  s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  speed  of  first car is  v_1  =  66.7 \ km/h  =  18.3 \  m/s

    The  speed  of  second car is v_2  =  52.7 \ km/h  =  14.64 \  m/s

   The  initial distance of separation is  d =  119 \ m

The distance covered by first car is mathematically represented as

     d_t =  d_i  +  d_f

Here  d_i is the initial distance which is  0 m/s

  and  d_f  is the final distance covered which is  evaluated as d_f  =  v_1 * t

So

     d_t =  0 \  m/s  +  (v_1 * t )

     d_t =  0 \  m/s  +  (18.3 * t )

The distance covered by second  car is mathematically represented as

     d_t =  d_i  +  d_f

Here  d_i is the initial distance which is  119 m

  and  d_f  is the final distance covered which is  evaluated as d_f  =  v_2* t

       d_t =  119  + 14.64 *  t

Given that the two car are now in the same position we have that

    119  + 14.64 *  t  =   0   +  (18.3 * t )

   t =  32.5 \  s

the specific heat of water is 4.2 j/c. if it takes 31,500 joules to heat to warm 750 g of water, what was the temperature change
defon
The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m is the mass of the substance
C_s the specific heat capacity
\Delta T the increase in temperature

In our problem, the mass of the water is m=750 g, the specific heat is C_s = 4.2 J/g ^{\circ}C and the amount of heat supplied is Q=31500 J, so if we re-arrange the previous formula we find the increase in temperature of the water:
\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}= \frac{31500 J}{(750 g)(4.20 J/g^{\circ} C)}=10^{\circ}C

A tiger travels 3m/s^2 for 4.1s,what was its initial speed if it's final speed was 55k/h?
zaharov [31]
Acceleration a=3m/s^2
time t= 4.1seconds
Final velocity V= 55km/h
initial velocity U= ?
First convert V to m/s
36km/h=10m/s
55km/h= 55*10/36=15.28m/s
Using the formula V= U+at
U= V-at
U= 15.28-3*4.1=15.28-12.3=2.98m/s
Initial velocity U= 2.98m/s or 10.73km/h (Using the conversion rate 36km/h=10m/s)
