A 0.0140 kg bullet traveling at 205 m/s east hits a motionless 1.80 kg block and bounces off it, retracing its original path wit

h a velocity of 103 m/s west. What is the final velocity of the block? Assume the block rests on a perfectly frictionless horizontal surface.

Answer:

Final velocity of the block = 2.40 m/s east.

Explanation:

Here momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Mass of bullet = 0.0140 kg

Consider east as positive.

Initial velocity of bullet = 205 m/s

Mass of Block = 1.8 kg

Initial velocity of block = 0 m/s

Initial momentum = 0.014 x 205 + 1.8 x 0 = 2.87 kg m/s

Final velocity of bullet = -103 m/s

We need to find final velocity of the block( u )

Final momentum = 0.014 x -103+ 1.8 x u = -1.442 + 1.8 u

We have

            2.87 = -1.442 + 1.8 u

               u = 2.40 m/s

Final velocity of the block = 2.40 m/s east.

A rocket ship is accelerating at 200 m/s2, its mas is 135,000,000 kg. What is the force generated by this acceleration?
Rina8888 [55]

Acceleration does NOT "generate" force.  Acceleration NEEDS force to make it happen.  Without force ... provided by something else ... acceleration can't happen.

The force NEEDED to accelerate a mass with a certain acceleration is

Force needed = (mass) times (acceleration)

For the rocket ship in the question,

Force = (135,000,000 kg) times (200 m/s²)

Force = (135,000,000 x 200) kg-m/s²

<em>Force = 27 Giga-Newtons  </em>(27,000,000,000 Newtons)


The gas-generator cycle F-1 rocket engine, developed in the US by Rocketdyne in the late 1950s, was used in the Saturn V rocket, the main launch vehicle of NASA's Apollo moon lander program .  Five F-1 engines were used in the first stage of each Saturn V.  

==> The thrust of each F-1 engine at full throttle is 7,770 kilo-Newtons.  

It would take <em>3,475 </em>of these F-1 rocket engines, running full-throttle, to provide the force calculated in the answer to this question.  If you didn't have 3,475 F-1 rocket engines, then you couldn't accelerate 135,000,000 kg at 200 m/s².

(And by the way ... the mass of each F-1 engine is 8,400 kg.  So 3,475 engines alone account for 22% of the mass you're trying to accelerate.  And don't even get me started about the mass of the FUEL you'd need to carry.)

Consider the uniform electric field E = (8.0ĵ + 2.0 ) ✕ 103 N/C. What is its electric flux (in N · m2/C) through a circular area
cluponka [151]

Answer:

5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C

Explanation:

The electric flux φ through a planar area is defined as the electric field Ε times the component of the area Α perpendicular to the field. i.e

φ = E A

From the question;

E = (8.0j + 2.0k) ✕ 10³ N/C

r = radius of the circular area = 9.0m

A = area of a circle = π r²           [Take π = 3.142]

A = 3.142 x 9² = 254.502m²

Now, since the area lies in the x-y plane, only the z-component of the electric field is responsible for the electric flux through the circular area.

Therefore;

φ = (2.0) x 10³ x 254.502

φ = 5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C

The electric flux is 5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C

Suppose that a rectangular toroid has 1,500 windings and a self-inductance of 0.060 H. If the height of the rectangular toroid i
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Current in the toroid will be I=17.32\times 10^{-3}A

Explanation:

We have given number of winding in rectangular toroid N = 1500

Self inductance of toroid L = 0.06 H

Magnetic energy stored in toroid E=9\times 10^{-16}J

We have to find the current in the toroid

Magnetic energy stored is equal to E=\frac{1}{2}Li^2

9\times 10^{-6}=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.06\times I^2

I=17.32\times 10^{-3}A

So current in the toroid will be I=17.32\times 10^{-3}A
