<h2>The magnitude of the average force acting on the ball during the collision is 340.57 N</h2>

Explanation:

Force is given by rate of change of momentum.

Mass of bullet = 555 g = 0.555 kg

Initial velocity = 14.9 m/s

Final velocity = -12.1 m/s - Opposite direction

Change in momentum = 0.555 x 14.9 - 0.555 x (-12.1)

Change in momentum = 14.985 kg m/s

Time taken = 0.044 s

Rate of change of momentum = Change in momentum ÷ Time

Rate of change of momentum = 14.985 ÷ 0.044

Rate of change of momentum = 340.57 N

Force = 340.57 N

The magnitude of the average force acting on the ball during the collision is 340.57 N

Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco holds the world record in the 1500 m running race. He ran the final 400 m in a time of 51.9 s.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: His average speed in mph over the last 400 m is 7.7 m/s.

Explanation:

Given: Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco holds the world record in the 1500 m running race. He ran the final 400 m in a time of 51.9 s.

We know that , speed = \dfrac{distance}{time}

Here , distance = 400m and time = 51.9 s

Then, speed =  \dfrac{400}{51.9}\approx7.7\ m/s

Hence, his average speed in mph over the last 400 m is 7.7 m/s.

Which of the following statements about insulating materials is correct?a.Insulators can be used to increase the amount of curre
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

a.Insulators can be used to increase the amount of current that can flow through a resistor without increasing its temperature.

Explanation:

A conductor has low resistance, while an insulator has much higher resistance. Devices called resistors control amounts of resistance into an electrical circuits. Electric charges inside an insulator are bound to the individual atoms or molecules, not being able to move inside the material.

When you turn up the resistance, the electric current flowing through the circuit is reduced

Ohm's law:

V = I * R

R = V/I

An Ohmic conductor would have a linear relationship between the current and the voltage. With non-Ohmic conductors, the relationship is not linear. Most metals are good conductors example silver, copper etc.

A lighthouse is located on a small island 5 km away from the nearest point p on a straight shoreline and its light makes two rev
lisabon 2012 [21]

The distance starting from the point to the lighthouse would be regarded as the hypotenuse.

And also will be the radius of the circle the beam of light is generating at that point. 


So get the radius first

r = sqrt (1^2 + 5^2)

r = 5.099 km


find the circumference:

C = 2*pi * 5.099 km

C = 2 * 16.01898094

C = 32.04 km


Then find the speed in km/sec

One revolution: 60/2 = 30 sec per revolution

Speed = 32.04 km/30 sec

S = 1.068 km/sec is the speed of light
