To look for the acceleration, it will come from:

vf^2=v0^2+2ad 
where:
vf = final velocity = 0 
v0 = initial velocity =251 m/s 
a = acceleration 
d= distance traveled = 0.237 m 

0=251^2+2a(0.237 ) 
a= -251 ^2 / (2*0.237) =-132 913.502 m/s/s 

we find the force from: 

F = ma = 0.0115kg*(-1.32x10^5m/s/s) = -1518 N 

the negative sign shows that the force is in the direction contradictory the bullet's motion

At higher speeds, how would you compensate for the decrease in field of vision
inysia [295]
When you ride a vehicle in a fast speed, then your peripheral vision will reduce that is why there is a need for you to follow the direction of the objects when you are travelling in order for you to compensate to the decrease in the field of vision.

Hello There!

Well, technically no. It has to be one or the other, it can't be both.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

What is the largest possible magnitude of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field?
Alina [70]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. But your question seems incomplete. I will assume you based the situation below:

<span>An electrons moves at 2.0x10^6 m/s through a region in which there is a magnetic field of unspecified direction and magnitude 7.4x10^-2 T. 

The </span> largest possible magnitude of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field is <span>= 2.6 × 10 ¹⁶ m / s ²</span>

Compare the forces in a small nucleus to the forces in a large nucleus
pochemuha
The comparison of the forces in a small nucleus to the forces of a large one is the fact that they are capable of holding the protons and neutrons which made it no matter what their size may be. Therefore, as long as there is a nucleus, their forces can both hold together the two atoms tight.
