Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. To determine acceleration, we need to know the initial velocity and the final velocity and the time elapsed. From the given values, we need t o calculate for the initial velocity. We use some kinematic equations. We do as follows:
x = v0t + at^2/2
60 = v0(6) + a(6)^2/2
60 = 6v0 + 18a (EQUATION 1)
vf = v0 + at
15 = v0 + a(6)
15 = v0 + 6a (EQUATION 2)
Solving for v0 and a,
v0 = 5 m/s
a = 1.7 m/s^2
Answer:
Yeah it's right there from the one next to the exclamation point
Answer:
<em>v = 381 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Linear Speed</u>
The linear speed of the bullet is calculated by the formula:

Where:
x = Distance traveled
t = Time needed to travel x
We are given the distance the bullet travels x=61 cm = 0.61 m. We need to determine the time the bullet took to make the holes between the two disks.
The formula for the angular speed of a rotating object is:

Where θ is the angular displacement and t is the time. Solving for t:

The angular displacement is θ=14°. Converting to radians:

The angular speed is w=1436 rev/min. Converting to rad/s:

Thus the time is:

t = 0.0016 s
Thus the speed of the bullet is:

v = 381 m/s
