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

A solid weighs 16.5N on the surface of the moon. The force of gravity on the moon is 1.7N/Kg.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

mass = 9.7 kg

Explanation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (g)

16.5 = mass x 1.7

mass = \frac{16.5}{1.7} = 9.7 kg

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be seen by humans
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Visible light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is the classification of the electromagnetic waves according to their frequency/wavelength. In order from the shortest to the longest wavelength, we have

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

All these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the part referred as 'visible light'. The electromagnetic waves of this part of the spectrum are visible to human eye, and they appear as a different color depending on their wavelength. In particular, we have:

Violet: 380-450 nm

Blue: 450-495 nm

Green: 495-570 nm

Yellow: 570-590 nm

Orange: 590-620 nm

Red: 620-750 nm

A racecar driver steps on the gas, and his racecar travels 20 meters in 2 seconds starting from rest. The acceleration of the ra
givi [52]

Answer:

2.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given

distance = 20meters

time = 2 seconds

initial velocity u= 0m/s

let us solve for the final velocity

velocity = distance/time

velocity= 20/2

velocity= 10m/s

v^2=u^2+2as\\\\10^2=0^2+2*a*20\\\\100=40a

divide both sides by 40

a= 100/40\\\\a=10/4\\\\a= 5/2\\\\a= 2.5m/s^2

A neutral copper block is polarized as shown in the figure below, due to an electric field made by external charges (notshown).
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is j.

Explanation:

Consider the figure attached below. The net electric field at location B,that is inside the copper block is zero because when a conductor is charged or placed in an electric field of  external charges, net charge lies on the surface of conductor and there is no electric field inside the conductor. As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is zero as well direction of net electric field at point B is zero.
