Answer;

Uniformitarianism

Explanation;

-Uniformitarianism is the principle suggesting that Earth's geologic processes acted in the same manner and with essentially the same intensity in the past as they do in the present and that such uniformity is sufficient to account for all geologic change. For example, at an active volcano we can observe lava cooling to form layers of basalt.

James Hutton suggested that deep soil profiles were formed by the weathering of bedrock over thousands of years. He also suggested that supernatural theories were not needed to explain the geologic history of the Earth.

A 0.150 kg stone rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A bullet of mass 9.50 g, traveling horizontally at 380 m/s, strike

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

(a)Magnitude=28.81 m/s

Direction=33.3 degree below the horizontal

(b) No, it is not perfectly elastic collision

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of stone, M=0.150 kg

Mass of bullet, m=9.50 g= $9.50\times 10^{3} kg$

Initial speed of bullet, u=380 m/s

Initial speed of stone, U=0

Final speed of bullet, v=250m/s

a. We have to find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the stone after it is struck.

Using conservation of momentum

$mu+ MU=mv+ MV$

Substitute the values

$9.5\times 10^{-3}\times 380 i+0.150(0)=9.5\times 10^{-3} (250)j+0.150V$

$3.61i=2.375j+0.150V$

$3.61 i-2.375j=0.150V$

$V=\frac{1}{0.150}(3.61 i-2.375j)$

$V=24.07i-15.83j$

Magnitude of velocity of stone

= $\sqrt{(24.07)^2+(-15.83)^2}$

|V|=28.81 m/s

Hence, the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the stone after it is struck, |V|=28.81 m/s

Direction

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})$

= $tan^{-1}(\frac{-15.83}{24.07})$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(-0.657)$

=33.3 degree below the horizontal

(b)

Initial kinetic energy

$K_i=\frac{1}{2}mu^2+0=\frac{1}{2}(9.5\times 10^{-3})(380)^2$

$K_i=685.9 J$

Final kinetic energy

$K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}MV^2$

= $\frac{1}{2}(9.5\times 10^{-3})(250)^2+\frac{1}{2}(0.150)(28.81)^2$

$K_f=359.12 J$

Initial kinetic energy is not equal to final kinetic energy. Hence, the collision is not perfectly elastic collision.

What is energy converted to if it is not used to do work?

Romashka [77]

Answer:

the human body isn't very efficient at converting food into useful work. The human body is less than 5% efficient most of the time. The rest of the energy is converted to heat, which may or may not be useful, depending on how cool or warm a person wants to be.
