A person fires a 38 gram bullet straight up into the air. It rises, then falls straight back down, striking the ground with a sp

eed of 345 m/s. The bullet embeds itself into the ground a distance of 8.9 cm before coming to a stop. What force does the ground exert on the bullet? Express your answer in newtons.

Answer:

Force exerted = 25.41 kN

Explanation:

We have equation of motion

      v² = u²+2as

u = 345 m/s, s = 8.9 cm = 0.089 m, v = 0 m/s

     0² = 345²+2 x a x 0.089

       a = -668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = Mass x Acceleration

Mass of bullet = 38 g = 0.038 kg

Acceleration = 668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = 25409.83 N = 25.41 kN

First, calculate how long the ball is in midair. This will depend only on the vertical displacement; once the ball hits the ground, projectile motion is over. Since the ball is thrown horizontally, it originally has no vertical speed. 
t = time vi = initial vertical speed = 0m/s g = gravity = -9.8m/s^2 y = vertical displacement = -45m 
y = .5gt^2 [Basically, in this equation we see how long it takes the ball to fall 45m] -45m = .5 (-9.8m/s^2) * t^2 t = 3.03 s 
Now we know that the ball is midair for 3.03s. Since horizontal speed is constant we can simply use: 
x = horizontal displacement v = horizontal speed = 25m/s t = time = 3.03s 
x = v*t x = 25m/s * 3.03s = 75.76 m Thus, the ball goes about 75 or 76 m from the base of the cliff.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The cable run exceeds the specifications for Ethernet over twisted pair

Explanation:

The ethernet  network's router also serves as a bridge to the Internet. The router connects to the modem, which carries the Internet signal, sending and receiving data packet requests and routing them to the proper computers on the network.

Ethernet is a way of connecting computers together in a local area network or LAN. It has been the most widely used method of linking computers together in LAN s since the 1990 s.

The basic idea of its design is that multiple computers have access to it and can send data at any time.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

C. Both A and B

Explanation:

<em>Electronic leveling systems: </em>These are automatic lifting jacks use for raising  wheels and vehicle when parked or when work is to be done on the vehicle engine underneath or on wheels. unlike the manual jacks it is very quick and efficient.

Both technician right, for Technician A, a weight may be use during the procedure for balancing and leveling when raising, and for Technician B, the sensor in the electronic leveling systems is adjustable to adjust the height so as to maintain balancing and levelling.
