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

Plants make energy. Some of it they use to preform the necessary functions of living. What do they do with the excess energy?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

They can use it for when they are dormant in the winter or to grow more sources for storing and creating energy, or they store the energy (this energy would be considered stored energy).

A car is traveling at a constant speed of 33 m/s on a highway. At the instant this car passes an entrance ramp, a second car ent
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

0.8712 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Velocity of first car; v1 = 33 m/s

Distance; d = 2.5 km = 2500 m

Acceleration of first car; a1 = 0 m/s² (constant acceleration)

Velocity of second car; v2 = 0 m/s (since the second car starts from rest)

From Newton's equation of motion, we know that;

d = ut + ½at²

Thus,for first car, we have;

d = v1•t + ½(a1)t²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

d = 33t + 0

d = 33t

For second car, we have;

d = v2•t + ½(a2)•t²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

d = 0 + ½(a2)t²

d = ½(a2)t²

Since they meet at the next exit, then;

33t = ½(a2)t²

simplifying to get;

33 = ½(a2)t

Now, we also know that;

t = distance/speed = d/v1 = 2500/33

Thus;

33 = ½ × (a2) × (2500/33)

Rearranging, we have;

a2 = (33 × 33 × 2)/2500

a2 = 0.8712 m/s²

puteri [66]
 <span>This pivot is called refraction. It happens because different materials have different densities. The more dense the material the more atoms the light collides with and the slower it travels; the less dense, the fewer the collisions and hence a faster velocity. This pivoting, or refraction, is caused by the light either slowing down or speeding up.</span>

A campground official wants to measure the distance across an irregularly-shaped lake, but can't do so directly. He picks a poin
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

149 m

Explanation:

The distances across the lake is forming a triangle.  

let the distance between the point and the left side be 'x'

and the distance between the point and the right be 'y'

and the distance across the lake be 'z' and the angle opposite to 'z' be 'Z' given:

∠Z = 83°

x = 105 m

y = 119 m

Now, applying the Law of Cosines, we get  

z² = x² + y² - 2xycos(Z)  

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

z² = 105² + 119² - 2×105×119×cos(83°)

or

z = √22140.48

or

z = 148.796 m ≈ 149 m

The point is 149 m across the lake
