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

If a projectile travels in the air for 8 seconds when does a projectile reach its highest point
emmainna [20.7K]

Given

The projectile is in air for a time of t=8 sec

To find

The time it takes to reach the highest point

Explanation

A projectile moves up to the highest point and then again moves down following a parabolic path.

So it will reach the highest point at a time half the time it requires to follow teh parabolic path.

The time taken to reach the highest point is 4 sec

Conclusion

The time taken is 4 sec.

tangare [24]

Answer:

56.86153 N

Explanation:

t =Time taken

F = Force

Power

P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow W=P\times t\\\Rightarrow W=77\times 0.96\\\Rightarrow W=73.92\ Joules

Work done

W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{73.92}{1.3}\\\Rightarrow F=56.86153\ N

The magnitude of the force that is exerted on the handle is 56.86153 N

A plane mirror of circular shape with radius r=20cm is fixed to the ceiling. A bulb is to be placed on the axis of the mirror. A
KIM [24]

Answer:

0.75 m

Explanation:

Let's call the distance between the bulb and the mirror x.

The bulb and the length of the mirror form a triangle.  The mirror and the illuminated area on the floor form a trapezoid.  If we extend the lines from the mirror edge to the reflected image of the bulb, we turn that trapezoid into a large triangle.  This triangle and the small triangle are similar.  So we can say:

x / 0.4 = (3 + x) / 2

Solving for x:

2x = 0.4 (3 + x)

2x = 1.2 + 0.4 x

1.6 x = 1.2

x = 0.75

So the bulb should located no more than 0.75 m from the mirror.
