A rifle with a barrel length of 60 cm fires a 10 g bullet with a horizontal speed of 400 m/s. The bullet strikes a block of wood
and penetrates to a depth of 12 cm. . a. what resistive force (assumed to be constant) does the wood exert on the bullet? . b. How long does it take the bullet to come to rest? . c. Draw a velocity verses time graph for the bullet in the wood.
2 answers:
consider the motion of bullet as it penetrates through the block
v₀ = initial velocity of the bullet = 400 m/s
v = final velocity of the bullet = 0 m/s
d = distance traveled = 12 cm = 0.12 m
a = acceleration = ?
Using the equation
v² = v₀² + 2 a d
0² = 400² + 2a (0.12)
a = - 6.67 x 10⁵ m/s²
m = mass of the bullet = 10 g = 0.010 kg
The resistive force is given as
f = ma
inserting the values
f = (0.010) (- 6.67 x 10⁵ )
f = - 6670 N
b)
t = time taken by the bullet
using the equation
v = v₀ + a t
0 = 400 + (- 6.67 x 10⁵ ) t
t = 6 x 10⁻⁴ sec

|A|=10
|B|=15
To find
Angle α
Solution
From Cross product properties we know that
The Angle between the vector A and B is 12.32°
Answer:
Explanation:
For this particular problem, we are going to use the non-relativistic Doppler effect which, is the change in frequency of a wave concerning an observer who's moving relative to the wave source. The shifted wavelength is:
,
where is the wavelenght as it comes from the source,
is the velocity of the source (the quasar) and,
is the velocity of the wave. In this case, the velocity of the wave is the speed of light,
.
Solving for ,
,
now computing
,
The velocity of the quasar is negative because it is getting close to the Earth!
