An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on anything. It is manipulated to determine the value of a dependent variable<span>. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation and the independent variables are the inputs to that measurement. Example: Time would always be an independent variable because nothing affects time, however, time can affect everything. </span>
Answer:
F = - 3.53 10⁵ N
Explanation:
This problem must be solved using the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.
I = F t = Δp
To find the time we use that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), let's use the uniform movement ratio
v = d / t
t = d / v
Reduce SI system
m = 26 g ( 1 kg/1000g) = 26 10⁻³ kg
d = 50 mm ( 1m/ 1000 mm) = 50 10⁻³ m
Let's calculate
t = 50 10⁻³ / 600
t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s
With this value we use the momentum and momentum relationship
F t = m v - m v₀
As the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative
F = m (v-vo) / t
F = 26 10⁻³ (-500 - 630) / 8.33 10⁻⁵
F = - 3.53 10⁵ N
The negative sign indicates that the force is exerted against the bullet
The work done to stretch the spring will be 112 J.
<h3>What is spring force?</h3>
The force required to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance is known as the spring force. Its formula is
F = kx
The given data in the problem is;
F is the spring force =?
K is the spring constant= 8.5 N/m
x is the length by which spring got stretched = 1.2m
The work is done to stretch the spring is;
