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

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

a) v=0.5405\ m.s^{-1}

b) v_p'=0.1143\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of ball, m_b=4\ kg

initial speed of the ball, v_b=10\ m.s^{-1}

mass of the person, m_p=70\ kg

a)

Using the conservation of linear momentum:

When the person catches the ball, assuming that the person catches it with an impact without absorbing the shock.

m_b.v_b=(m_b+m_p)v

4\times 10=(4+70)\times  v

v=0.5405\ m.s^{-1}

b)

When the ball hits the person and bounces off with the velocity of v_b'=8\ m.s^{-1}.

Using the conservation of linear momentum:

m_b.v_b+m_p.v_p=m_b.v_b'+m_p.v_p'

where:

v_b'= final speed of the ball after collision

v_p'= final speed of the person after collision

v_p= initial velocity of the person = 0

putting the respective values in the above eq.

4\times 10+0=4\times 8+70\times v_p'

v_p'=0.1143\ m.s^{-1}

You serve a volleyball with a mass of 1.4 kg. The ball leaves with a speed of 13 m/s. Calculate KE
NemiM [27]

Answer:

118.3 J

Explanation:

Givens:

m = 1.4 kg

V = 13 m/s

Formula for kinetic energy:

KE = (1/2)*(m)*(v)^2

KE = .5*(1.4 kg)*(13 m/s)^2

KE 118.3 J

J = Joules

Explain why you can only change one variable in an experiment
ohaa [14]
The purpose of an experiment is to LEARN the EFFECT of something.

The way you do that is to CHANGE the thing and see what happens.

You can change as many things as you want to.  But If you change
TWO things and observe the result, then you don't know which one
of them caused the effect you see. 

Or maybe BOTH of them working together caused it.  You don't know. 

So your experiment is not really much good.  You need to do it again.
