Answer:

The kinetic energy of the bullet is 5.4 × 10³ J

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of kinetic energy is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass of the bullet.

v = speed of the bullet.

Let´s convert the mass unit to kg so that our result is in Joules:

64 g · ( 1 kg / 1000 g) = 0.064 kg

Then, the kinetic energy will be the following:

KE = 1/2 · 0.064 kg · (411 m/s)²

KE = 5.4 × 10³ J

A car traveling at 37m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 15 seconds. What is it’s acceleration

LuckyWell [14K]

<u>Answer</u>

The acceleration is

$a=-2.5ms^{-2}$ to the nearest tenth

<u>Explanation</u>

Since the car was travelling at $37ms^{-1}$ before it starts to decelerate, the initial velocity is

$u=37ms^{-1}$ .

The final velocity is $v=0ms^{-1}$ , because the car came to a stop.

The time taken is $t=15s$ .

Using the Newton's equation of linear motion,

$v=u +at$ , we find the acceleration by substituting the known values.

This implies that,

$0=37 +a(15)$

This gives us,

$0-37=15a$

$\Rightarrow -37=15a$

We divide both sides by 15 to get,

$a=-\frac{37}{15}ms^{-2}$

$a=-2.46667ms^{-2}$

two object gravitationally attract with a force of 20N.if the distance between the two object centers is doubled, then what is t

Usimov [2.4K]

Gravity decreases with the square of the distance, so the new force is (20)/(2*2) = 5N.
