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

How do you calculate the electric force by object a exerted on object a (itself)?

max2010maxim [7]

I don't think an object can exert a force on itself.

Try it: Get up on a skateboard, and see if you can do anything to yourself that makes you start moving ... without touching anything else.

It'll be easy to tell if you succeed. If you actually do exert an unbalanced force on yourself, then you'll begin to accelerate.

The force that contributed to the formation of planets, determines the motion of bodies in the solar system, and pulls objects t

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The force of gravity

Explanation:

Gravity was studied, by early scientists such as Copernicus and others, Galileo was the first to ensure that planets moved according to a physical equation that depended on a force that caused celestial bodies to move and interact with each other. But years later Newton based on studies conducted deciphering what Galileo assumed, he was able to find the equation of the force of gravity in any body in the universe. This equation depends on the masses of the two interacting bodies, the distance between them and a constant, which I call universal gravitation constant.

$F_{g}=G*\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}}{r^2}$

Fg = gravity force [N]

G = universal gravitation constant = 6.67*10^(-11) [N*m^2/kg^2]

m1 = mass of the 1st body [kg]

m2 = mass of the 2nd body [kg]

r = distance between the bodies [meters]

A bird flies 3.7 meters in 46 seconds, what is its speed?

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Speed is 0.08 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the distance that the bird flies = 3.7 meters

The time is taken by the bird to fly the 3.7 meters = 46 seconds

We have given distance and time. Now we have to find the speed at which the bird flies. So, to calculate the speed of the bird we have to divide the distance by the time.

Below is the formula to find the speed.

Speed = Distance / Time

Now insert the given value in the formula.

Speed = 3.7 / 46 = 0.08 m/s

If a rock climber accidentally drops a 52.5-g piton from a height of 325 meters, what would its speed be just before striking th

alex41 [277]

Ignoring air resistance, the Kinetic energy before hitting the ground will be equal to the potential energy of the Piton at the top of the rock.
So we have 1/2 MV^2 = MGH
V^2 = 2GH
V = âš2GH
V = âš( 2 * 9.8 * 325)
V = âš 6370
V = 79.81 m/s
