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

What usually happens to the host’s DNA during the lytic cycle?
VARVARA [1.3K]
The lytic cycle is one of the two phases of reproduction in viruses. In this part of reproduction, the viral RNA joins with the DNA of the host and copies itself into the host's DNA pattern. This will cause the host cells to reproduce the viral cells instead of the original host cells. Overtime as the viral cells continue to reproduce they will overload and eventually cause the host cell to explode. When this occurs, then the produced viruses will continue on to infect the next cell.

The density of water is 1.00 g/cm3. What is its density in kg/m3?
r-ruslan [8.4K]
1 g = 1 ÷ 1000 kg
= 0.001 kg

1 cm³ = 1 ÷ 100 ÷ 100 ÷ 100 m³
= 0.000001 m³

1 g/cm³ = 1 g / 1 cm³
= 0.001 kg / 0.000001 m³
= 1000 kg/m³

The density is 1000 kg/m³.

Calculate the change in the energy of an electron that moves from the n = 3 level to the n = 2 level. What type of light is emit
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

The energy emitted during an electron transition in an atom of hydrogen is given by

E=E_0 (\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})

where

E_0 = 13.6 eV is the energy of the lowest level

n1 and n2 are the numbers corresponding to the two levels

Here we have

n1 = 3

n2 = 2

So the energy of the emitted photon is

E=(13.6) (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=1.9 eV

Converting into Joules,

E=(1.9 eV)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=3.0\cdot 10^{-19} J

And now we can find the wavelength of the emitted photon by using the equation

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where h is the Planck constant and c is the speed of light. Solving for \lambda,

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{3.0\cdot 10^{-19}}=6.63\cdot 10^{-7} m = 663 nm

And this wavelength corresponds to red light.
