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

Chose the word that correctly completes the following sentence: Kirchoff's junction law expresses the conservation of ____. a) m
Radda [10]

Answer:A- mass charge.

This can also be called current.

Explanation:

This is Kirchhoff’s 2nd law.

Kirchhoff’s junction law states that the sum of current(mass charge) flowing in and out of the junction must be equal to zero. This law emphasizes conservation of charge and energy. Charge is also a form of energy and it can neither be created nor destroyed.

A dentist uses a concave mirror (focal length 2.5 cm) to examine some teeth. If the distance from the object to the mirror is 1.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

2.28

Explanation:

From mirror formula,

1/f = 1/u+1/v .......... Equation 1

Where f = focal length of the mirror, v = image distance, u = object distance.

Note: The focal length mirror is positive.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = fu/(u-f)............ Equation 2

Given: f = 2.5 cm, u = 1.4 cm

Substitute into equation 2

v = 2.5(1.4)/(1.4-2.5)

v = 3.5/-1.1

v = -3.2 cm.

Note: v is negative because it is a virtual image.

But,

Magnification = image distance/object distance

M = v/u

Where M = magnification.

Given: v = 3.2 cm, u = 1.4 cm

M = 3.2/1.4

M = 2.28.

Thus the magnification of the tooth = 2.28.

Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire out of 1.10 g of copper. If the wire is to have a resistance R = 0.390 Ω, and if al
Citrus2011 [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to volume, as a function of length and area, as of mass and density. Later we will take the same concept of resistance and resistivity, equal to the length per unit area. Once obtained from the known constants it will be possible to obtain the area by matching the two equations:

Mass of copper wire(m) = 1.10g = 1.10*10^{-3} kg

Density (\rho)= 8.92*10^3kg/m^3

Resistively of copper (\gamma) = 1.7*10^{-8}\Omega \cdot m

Resistance (R) = 0.390\Omega

Volume is defined as,

V= lA \text{ and }\frac{m}{\rho}

lA= \frac{1.10*10^{-3}}{8.92*10^3}

lA = 1.233*10^{-7} m^3 (1)

We know that,

\frac{l}{A} = \frac{R}{\gamma}

\frac{l}{A}= \frac{0.390\Omega}{1.7*10^{-8}\Omega m}

\frac{l}{A} = 2.2941*10^7 m^{-1} (2)

Multiplying equation we have

l^2 = (1.233*10^{-7})( 2.2941*10^7)

l^2 = 2.8286m^2

l =\sqrt{2.8286m^2}

l = 1.68m

Therefore the length of the wire is 1.68m
