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

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

a.) the speed at the bottom is greater for the steeperhill

Explanation:

since the energy at the bottom of the steeper hilis greater

mgh =\frac{1}{mv^2}

As we can see from above that v is higher when h ishigher.

Find the momentum of a 25kg object traveling at a speed of 4m/s
solong [7]

Answer:

100Kg.m/s

Explanation:

From the question, we obtained the following information:

M= Mass = 25kg

V = Velocity = 4m/s

Momentum =?

Momentum = MV = 25x4= 100Kg.m/s

A 1500-kg car locks its brakes and skids to a stop on a slippery horizontal road, leaving skid marks that are 15 m long. How muc
Harman [31]

Answer:

E=88200\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of car, m=1500\ kg
  • distance of skidding after the application of brakes, d=15\ m
  • coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k=0.4

<u>So, the energy dissipated during the skidding of car:</u>

<em>Frictional force:</em>

f=\mu_k.N

where N = normal reaction by ground on the car

f=0.4\ties 1500\times 9.8

f=5880\ N

<em>Now from the work-energy equivalence:</em>

E=f.d

E=5880\times 15

E=88200\ J is the dissipated energy.
