A 4.6 g lead bullet moving at 278 m/s strikes a steel plate and stops. If all its kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy

and none leaves the bullet, what is its temperature change? Assume the specific heat of lead is 128 J/kg · ◦ C. Answer in units of ◦C.

Answer:

ΔT = 302 °c

Explanation:

mass (m) = 4.6 g = 0.0046 kg

velocity (v) = 278 m/s

specific heat of lead (c) = 128 J/kg. °c

kinetic energy = 0.5 mx v^{2}

kinetic energy = 0.5 x 0.0046 x 278^{2}

kinetic energy = 177.8 J

since all the kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy,

kinetic energy = thermal energy (E) = 177.8 J

thermal energy = m x c x ΔT

where ΔT is the temperature change

177.8 = 0.0046 x 128 x ΔT

ΔT = 177.8 / 0.59

ΔT = 302 °c

A small glass bead has been charged to + 30.0 nC . A small metal ball bearing 2.60 cm above the bead feels a 1.80×10−2 N downwar
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The charge on the ball bearing 4.507 × 10^-8 C

Explanation:

From Coulomb's law

F = kq1q2/r²

make q2 the subject

q2 = Fr²/kq1

q2 = (1.8×10^-2 × 0.026²) ÷ (9×10^9 × 30×10^-9)

q2 = 4.507 × 10^-8 C

BRAINLIEST WELL BE AWARDED.<br>what is an alloy?​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Alloy, metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of steel.

Explanation:

Alloys are usually produced by melting the mixture of ingredients. The value of alloys was discovered in very ancient times; brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) were especially important. Today, the most important are the alloy steels, broadly defined as steels containing significant amounts of elements other than iron and carbon. The principal alloying elements for steel are chromium, nickel, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, tungsten, vanadium, and boron have a wide range of special properties, such as hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, magnetizability, and ductility. Nonferrous alloys, mainly copper–nickel, bronze, and aluminum alloys, are much used in coinage. The distinction between an alloying metal and an impurity is sometimes subtle; in aluminum, for example, silicon may be considered an impurity or a valuable component, depending on the application, because silicon adds strength though it reduces corrosion resistance.
