Answer:

The force exerted by the wood on the bullet is 399.01 N

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m = 0.0021 kg

initial velocity of the bullet, u = 497 m/s

final velocity of the bullet, v = 0

distance traveled by the bullet, S = 0.65 m

Determine the acceleration of the bullet which is the deceleration.

Apply kinematic equation;

V² = U² + 2aS

0 = 497² - (2 x 0.65)a

0 = 247009 - 1.3a

1.3a = 247009

a = 247009 / 1.3

a = 190006.92 m/s²

Finally, apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the force exerted by the wood on the bullet;

F = ma

F = 0.0021 x 190006.92

F = 399.01 N

Therefore, the force exerted by the wood on the bullet is 399.01 N

A person wants to fire a water balloon cannon such that it hits a target 100m100m away. if the cannon can only be launched at 45
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>31.3 m/s Since the water balloon is being launched at a 45 degree angle, the horizontal and vertical speeds will be identical. Also the time the balloon takes to reach its peak altitude will match the time it takes to fall. So let's create a few expressions about what we know. Distance the water balloon travels at velocity v for time t d = vt Total time required for the entire trip is double since the balloon goes up, then goes down t = 2v/a Now let's plug in the numbers we have, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 t = 2v/9.8 100 = vt Substitute 2v/9.8 for t in the 2nd formula 100 = v(2v/9.8) Solve for v. 100 = v(2v/9.8) 100 = 2v^2/9.8 980. = 2v^2 490 = v^2 22.13594 = v So we now know that both the horizontal velocity and vertical velocity needed is 22.13594 m/s. Let's verify that 2*22.13594 / 9.8 = 4.51754 So it will take 4.51754 second for the balloon to hit the ground after being launched. 4.51754 * 22.13594 = 100 And during that time it will travel 100 meters horizontally. But we need to know the total velocity. And the Pythagorean theorem comes to the rescue. Just square the 2 velocities, add them together, and take the square root. We already know the square is 490 from the work above, so sqrt(490+490) = sqrt(980) = 31.30495 m/s</span>

The same wave travels for 2 seconds, what is its frequency?*
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

In waves distance is measured by wave length  and time is measured by frequency or period.

velocity ratio=wave length multiply by frequency.

HENCE, if the same wave travels for 2 econds its frequency will be 2Hz.

kramer

Answer:

60.2 J

Explanation:

Efficiency is the ratio of work out to work in.

e = Wout / Win

0.86 = Wout / 70 J

Wout = 60.2 J

Weak magnetic fields can be measured at the surface of the brain. Although the currents causing these fields are quite complicat
STALIN [3.7K]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to a magnetic field in spheres.

By definition we know that the magnetic field in a sphere can be described as

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(z^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

Where,

a = Radius

z = Distance to the magnetic field

I = Current

\mu_0 = Permeability constant in free space

Our values are given as

D=2a = 16cm \rightarrow diameter of the sphere then,

a = 0.08m

Thus z = a

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(a^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

B = \frac{\mu_0I}{2(2^{3/2})a}

B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2^{5/2}a}

Re-arrange to find I,

I = \frac{2^{5/2}Ba}{\mu_0}

I = \frac{2^{5/2}(3*10^{-12})(8*10^{-2})}{4\pi*10^{-7}}

I = 1.08*10^{-6}A

Therefore the current at the pole of this sphere is 1.08*10^{-6}A

The two forces in each pair can either both act on the same body or they can act on different bodies. The two forces in each pai
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, when we apply force in one direction on an object then the object also applies a force in the opposite direction.

Hence, it is true that two forces in each pair of forces act in opposite directions.

For example, when we push a wooden box of 20 kg in the forward direction then the box will also apply a force in the opposite direction.

But the statement two forces in each pair can either both act on the same body or they can act on different bodies is false.
