It is well known that bullets and other missiles fired at Superman simply bounce off his chest. Suppose that a gangster sprays S

uperman's chest with 6.5 g bullets at the rate of 170 bullets/min, and the speed of each bullet is 540 m/s. Suppose too that the bullets rebound straight back with no change in speed. What is the magnitude of the average force on Superman's chest from the stream of bullets

Answer:

F = 76.05\,N

Explanation:

The phenomenon can be described and analyzed by means of the Principle of Momentum Conservation and the Impact Theorem:

(6.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot (650\,\frac{bullets}{min} )\cdot (\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )\cdot (540\,\frac{m}{s} ) - F = (6.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot (650\,\frac{bullets}{min} )\cdot (\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )\cdot (-540\,\frac{m}{s} )

The magnitude of the average force on Superman's chest is:

F = 76.05\,N

A hollow conducting spherical shell has radii of 0.80 m and 1.20 m, The radial component of the electric field at a point that i
mars1129 [50]

Complete Question

The complete question is  shown on the first uploaded image  

 

Answer:

The electric field at that point is  E = 7500 \ N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

       The  radius of the inner circle is r_i  =  0.80  \ m

        The  radius of the outer circle is  r_o  =  1.20 \ m

       The  charge on the spherical shell q_n  =  -500nC  = -500*10^{-9} \ C

      The magnitude of the point charge at the center is  q_c =  + 300 nC  =  + 300 * 10^{-9} \ C

        The  position we are considering is  x =  0.60 m  from the center

Generally  the  electric field  at the distance x =  0.60 m  from the center  is mathematically represented as

                 E =  \frac{k *  q_c   }{x^2}

substituting values  

                  E =  \frac{k *  q_c   }{x^2}

where  k is  the coulomb constant with value k = 9*10^{9}  \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}.

     substituting values

                  E =  \frac{9*10^9  *  300 *10^{-9}}{0.6^2}

                 E = 7500 \ N/C

I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done
Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and \alpha is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle \alpha.

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5

So:

|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846

So:

Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)

\alpha = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

\alpha = 313 °

Every few hundred years most of the planets line up on the same side of the Sun.(Figure 1)Calculate the total force on the Earth
mylen [45]

Answer: 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N

Explanation:

The gravitational pull between two object is given by:

F = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

Where M and m are the masses of the object, r is the distance between the masses and G = 6.67× 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.

We have to calculate the net force on Earth due to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn when they are in one line. It means when they are the closest distance.

F_{net] = G\frac{M_eM_v}{r_v^2}+G\frac{M_eM_j}{r_j^2}+G\frac{M_eM_s}{r_s^2}

Mass of Earth, Me = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Venus, Mv = 0.815 Me

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = 318 Me

Mass of Saturn, Ms = 95.1 Me

closest distance between Earth and Venus, rv = 38 × 10⁶ km = 0.25 AU

closest distance between Jupiter and Earth, rj = 588 × 10⁶ km = 3.93 AU

closest distance between Earth and Saturn, rs = 1.2 × 10⁹ km = 8.0 AU

where 1 AU = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Inserting the values:

F_{net} = G\frac{M_e\times 0.815 M_e}{(0.25AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 318 M_e}{(3.93AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 95.1 M_e}{(8.0AU)^2}\\ \Rightarrow F_{net} = \frac{(GM_e^2)}{(1AU)^2}(\frac{0.815}{0.25^2}+\frac{318}{3.93^2}+\frac{95.1}{8.0^2})=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times (5.98\times 10^{24})^2}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}(35.1) = 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N
