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

Car A is traveling west at 40 mi/h and car B is traveling north at 40 mi/h. Both are headed for the intersection of the two road
Gwar [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

    \frac{dx}{dt} = -40 mi/h,     \frac{dx}{dt} = -40 mi/h

The negative sign indicates that x and y are decreasing.

We have to find \frac{dz}{dt}. Equation for the given variables according to the Pythagoras theorem is as follows.

              z^{2} = x^{2} + y^{2}

Now, we will differentiate each side w.r.t 't' as follows.

        2z\frac{dz}{dt} = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}

or,          \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{1}{z}(x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt})

So, when x = 4 mi, and y = 3 mi then z = 5 mi.

As,       \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{1}{z}(x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt})

                       = \frac{1}{5}(4 \times (-40) + 3 \times (-40))

                       = \frac{-140 - 120}{5}

                       = 52

Thus, we can conclude that the cars are approaching at a rate of 52 mi/h.

An insulated Thermos contains 140 cm3 of hot coffee at 85.0°C. You put in a 15.0 g ice cube at its melting point to cool the cof
Pavel [41]

Answer:

T = 69^o C

Explanation:

Here at thermal equilibrium we can say that thermal energy given by Hot coffee is equal to the thermal energy absorbed by ice cubes

So here we have

Q_{ice} = Q_{coffee}

now since ice cubes are added into coffee when it is at melting temperature

So here we can say that final temperature of coffee is T degree C

Now we have

m_1L + m_1c_1\Delta T_1 = m_2c_2\Delta T_2

here we have

m_1 = 15 gram

L = 333 kJ/kg = 333 J/g[/tex]

c_1 = c_2 = 4186 J/kg C = 4.186 J/g C

\Delta T_1 = T - 0

\Delta T_2 = 85 - T

now we have

15(333) + 15(4.186)(T - 0) = 140(4.186)(85 - T)

4995 + 62.79T = 49813.4 - 586.04T

648.83 T = 44818.4

T = 69^o C

What happens to light when it travels from air into water
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Water is more dense than air. When water goes through a denser thing, the light is "bent" more towards the "normal" which is a straight, vertical line.
