Answer:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.

In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies

The initial kinetic energy imparted to a 0.020 kg bullet is 1200 J. (a) Assuming it

Lilit [14]

Answer:

(a) Power= 207.97 kW

(b) Range= 5768.6 meter

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of bullet, $m=0.02 kg$

Kinetic energy imparted, $K=1200 J$

Length of rifle barrel, $d=1 m$

(a)

Let the speed of bullet when it leaves the barrel is $v$ .

Kinetic energy, $K=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times1200}{0.02} }$

$=346.4m/s$

Initial speed of bullet, $u=0$

The average speed in the barrel, $v_a_v_g=\frac{u+v}{2}$

$=\frac{0+346.4}{2} \\=173.2 m/s$

Time taken by bullet to cross the barrel, $t=\frac{d}{v}$

$=\frac{1}{173.2}\\ =0.00577 second$

Power, $P_a_v_g=\frac{W}{t}$

$=\frac{1200}{0.00577} \\=207.97kW$

(b)

In projectile motion,

Maximum height, $H_m=\frac{v^2\sin^2\theta}{2g} \\$

Range, $R=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}$

given that, $H_m=R$

then, $\frac{v^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\\sin^2\theta=2\sin\theta\cos\theta\\\\\tan\theta=4\\\theta=\tan^-^14\\\theta=75.96^0\\R=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\=\frac{346.4^2\times\sin(2\times75.96)}{9.8}\\5768.6 meter$

List two ways in which heterogeneous mixtures differ from elements

geniusboy [140]

<span>elements cannot be broken down or resolved into simpler materials. A heterogeneous mixture is a mix of elements, compounds, practically anything, and can be resolved into its components parts by physical methods such as filtration, extraction, sublimation, etc</span>
