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

A rock is thrown from the top of a 20-m building at an angle of 53° above the horizontal. If the horizontal range of the throw
NemiM [27]

Answer:

28.5 m/s

18.22 m/s

Explanation:

h = 20 m, R = 20 m, theta = 53 degree

Let the speed of throwing is u and the speed with which it strikes the ground is v.

Horizontal distance, R = horizontal velocity x time

Let t be the time taken

20 = u Cos 53 x t

u t = 20/0.6 = 33.33 ..... (1)

Now use second equation of motion in vertical direction

h = u Sin 53 t - 1/2 g t^2

20 = 33.33 x 0.8 - 4.9 t^2     (ut = 33.33 from equation 1)

t = 1.17 s

Put in equation (1)

u = 33.33 / 1.17 = 28.5 m/s

Let v be the velocity just before striking the ground

vx = u Cos 53 = 28.5 x 0.6 = 17.15 m/s

vy = uSin 53 - 9.8 x 1.17

vy = 28.5 x 0.8 - 16.66

vy = 6.14 m/s

v^2 = vx^2 + vy^2 = 17.15^2 + 6.14^2

v = 18.22 m/s

A balloon contains 2.3 mol of helium at 1.0 atm , initially at 240 ∘C. What's the initial volume? What's the volume after the ga
pashok25 [27]
A) initial volume
We can calculate the initial volume of the gas by using the ideal gas law:
p_i V_i = nRT_i
where
p_i=1.0 atm=1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa is the initial pressure of the gas
V_i is the initial volume of the gas
n=2.3 mol is the number of moles
R=8.31 J/K mol is the gas constant
T_i=240^{\circ}C=513 K is the initial temperature of the gas

By re-arranging this equation, we can find V_i:
V_i =  \frac{nRT_i}{p_i} = \frac{(2.3 mol)(8.31 J/mol K)(513 K)}{1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa}=0.097 m^3

2) Now the gas cools down to a temperature of
T_f = 14^{\circ}C=287 K
while the pressure is kept constant: p_f = p_i = 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa, so we can use again the ideal gas law to find the new volume of the gas
V_f =  \frac{nRT_f}{p_f}= \frac{(2.3 mol)(8.31 J/molK)(287 K)}{1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa} = 0.054 m^3

3) In a process at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is equal to the product between the pressure and the difference of volume:
W=p \Delta V= p(V_f -V_i)
by using the data we found at point 1) and 2), we find
W=p(V_f -V_i)=(1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.054 m^3-0.097 m^3)=-4343 J
where the negative sign means the work is done by the surrounding on the gas.
