Answer:

Opposite to the direction that you are pulling

Explanation:

Static friction acts in the opposite direction to the acceleration.

Kinetic friction acts in the opposite direction to the velocity.

A car has a uniform velocity of 108km/h. How far does it travel in 30 seconds?

natita [175]

Velocity=108km/h

Convert to m/s

$\\ \tt\longmapsto 108\times \dfrac{5}{18}$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto 30m/s$

Time=30s.

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Distance=Velocity\times Time$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Distance=30(30)$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Distance=900m$

As shown in the figure below, a bullet is fired at and passes through a piece of target paper suspended by a massless string. Th

NikAS [45]

Answer:

M = 0.730*m

V = 0.663*v

Explanation:

Data Given:

$v_{bullet, initial} = v\\v_{bullet, final} = 0.516*v\\v_{paper, initial} = 0\\v_{paper, final} = V\\mass_{bullet} = m\\mass_{paper} = M\\Loss Ek = 0.413 Ek$

Conservation of Momentum:

$P_{initial} = P_{final}\\m*v_{i} = m*0.516v_{i} + M*V\\0.484m*v_{i} = M*V .... Eq1$

Energy Balance:

$\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2_{i} = \frac{1}{2}*m*(0.516v_{i})^2 + \frac{1}{2}*M*V^2 + 0.413*\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2_{i}\\\\0.320744*m*v^2_{i} = M*V^2\\\\M = \frac{0.320744*m*v^2_{i} }{V^2} ....... Eq 2$

Substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1

$0.484*m*v_{i} = \frac{0.320744*m*v^2_{i} }{V^2} *V \\0.484 = 0.320744*\frac{v_{i} }{V} \\\\V = 0.663*v_{i}$

Using Eq 1

$0.484m*v_{i} = M* 0.663v_{i}\\\\M = 0.730*m$

Why are some atoms radioactive

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Atoms are made of three types of sub-atomic particle: neutrons and protons in the nucleus and electrons orbiting the nucleus. Some materials are radioactive because the nucleus of each atom is unstable and gives out nuclear radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays.

6.) What is

Feliz [49]

Answer:

100 V

Explanation:

Hi there!

Ohm's law states that $V=IR$ where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance.

Plug the given information into Ohm's law (R=50, I=A)

$V=IR\\V=(2)(50)\\V=100$

Therefore, the voltage across this current is 100 V.

I hope this helps!
