Answer:

v₂ = - 1.29 m / s

,  K₁ / Em = 0.996

,  K₂ / Em = 0.004

Explanation:

This is an exercise for the moment, where the system is formed by the shotgun, the man arm and the bullet, in this case the forces are internal therefore the moment is conserved

Initial. Before shooting

     p₀ = 0

Final. After shooting

     p_{f} = m v₁ + M v₂

Where index 1 is for the bullet and index 2 for the shotgun, arm and man set

The mass of the bullet is m = 0.04 kg

The mass of the set M = 3.0 + 12.5 = 15.5 kg

      p₀ =  p_{f}

       0 = m v₁ + M v₂

      v₂ = - m / M v₁

      v₂ = - 0.04 / 15.5 400

      v₂ = - 1.29 m / s

The mechanical energy is equal to the kinetic energy, let's calculate the energy for each of the two elements

      K₁ = ½ m v₁²

      K₁ = 1/2 0.04 400²

      K₁ = 3200 J

      K₂ = ½ M v₂²

      K₂ = ½ 15.5 1.29²

      K₂ = 12.90 J

The total energy of the system is the sum of the energy of each component

     Em = K₁ + K₂

     Em = 3200 + 12.90

     Em = 3212.9 J

The fraction of transmitted energy is

To the bullet

     K₁ / Em = 3200 / 3212.9

     K₁ / Em = 0.996

To the system  

    K₂ / Em = 12.9 / 3212.9

    K₂ / Em = 0.004

Answer:

The power decreases by 36%

Explanation:

Given:

At 20° C

Power, P₀ = 300 W

Potential difference, V = 150 volts

Now, power is given as

P = V²/R

where, R is the resistance

on substituting the values, we get

300 = 150²/R₀

or

R₀ = 75 Ω

Now, the variation of resistance with temperature is given as

R = R₀[1 + α(T - T₀)]

where, α is the temperature coefficient of resistivity = 0.0003125 (°C⁻¹)

now, at

T₀ = 20° C

R₀ = 75 Ω

for

T = 1820° C

we have

R = R₀[1 + α(T - T₀)]

substituting the values

we get

R = 75×[1 + 0.0003125 × (1820 - 20)]

or

R = 117.18 Ω

Now using the formula for power

We have,

P = V²/R

or

P = 150²/117.18 = 192 W

Therefore, the percentage change will be

= \frac{P-P_0}{P_0}\times 100

on substituting the values , we get

= \frac{192-300}{300}\times 100

= -36%

here, negative sign depicts the decrease in power

If you had an unlimited amount of mass to hang, what would be the range of possible accelerations for the system?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The entire cart/hanging mass system follows the same law, ΣF = ma. This means that plotting force vs. acceleration yields a linear relationship (of the form y = mx).
