Answer:

5.93 m

Explanation:

The carbon rod has a radius of 2.1 mm; it can be converted to meter by

1 m = 1000 mm

1 m ÷1000 = 1 mm

2.1 mm = 2.1 × 1 mm = 2.1 ×1÷1000 m = 0.0021 m

using the formula for resistance of a wire

R = ρl÷A, where R is the resistance of the carbon rod in ohms, ρ is resistivity in ohms.m, l is the length of the rod and A is the cross sectional area in m².

A = π r²

Make l the subject of the formula by cross multiplying

RA = ρl

divide both side by ρ

RA÷ρ = ρl÷ρ

RA÷ρ = l

substitute the values in

13.7 × 0.0021 × 0.0021 × 3.142 ÷ 3.2 × 10^-5 = 5.93 m

In a ballistics test, a 24 g bullet traveling horizontally at 1300 m/s goes through a 25-cm-thick 360 kg stationary target and e
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

A)0.00022s b)40363.6N c) 0.025m/s

Explanation:

Mass = 24g = 0.024kg, distance though the target = thickness of the target = 25cm = 0.25m

Initial speed of the bullet = 1300m/s, final speed = 930m/s

Using equation of motion

Distance = 1/2(vf+vi)*t (time in seconds)

t = 0.25*2/(1300+930) = 0.00022s

B) force exerted on the body

F = ma = m* (vf-vi)/t = 0.024*(930-1300)/0.00022

F = -40363N, it is negative because the body decelerated during this motion

C) using law of conservation of momentum,

M1*U1+ M2*U2(M2and U1 are the mass and initial speed of the body) = M1V1+ M2V2

The target was at rest so initial speed U2 = 0

0.024*1300 + 360*0 = 0.024*930 + 360*V2

31.2 = 22.32+360*V2

31.2-22.33 = 360*V2

V2 = 8.88/360 = 0.025m/s

(1 point) A frictionless spring with a 3-kg mass can be held stretched 1.6 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 90 new
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

x(t)=0.337sin((5.929t)

Explanation:

A frictionless spring with a 3-kg mass can be held stretched 1.6 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 90 newtons. If the spring begins at its equilibrium position, but a push gives it an initial velocity of 2 m/sec, find the position of the mass after t seconds.

Solution. Let x(t) denote the position of the mass at time t. Then x satisfies the differential equation  

m \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} +kx=0

Definition of parameters  

m=mass 3kg

k=force constant

e=extension ,m

ω =angular frequency

k=90/1.6=56.25N/m

ω^2=k/m= 56.25/1.6

ω^2=35.15625

ω=5.929

General solution will be

x(t)=c1cos(ωt)+c2Sin(ωt)

x(t)=c1cos(5.929t)+c2Sin(5.929t)

differentiating x(t)

dx(t)=-5.929c1sin(5.929t)+5.929c2cos(5.929t)

when x(0)=0, gives c1=0

dx(t0)=2m/s gives c2=0.337

Therefore, the position of the mass after t seconds is  

x(t)=0.337sin((5.929t)

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

12 mins

Explanation:

The distance covered is 5 km, divide this by 25 to get the fraction of an hour it takes. Doing this you get .2, times this by 60 min (1 hour) to get how many mins it takes
