M = 30 g = 0.03 kg, the mass of the bullet
v = 500 m/s, the velocity of the bullet
By definition, the KE (kinetic energy) of the bullet is
KE = (1/2)*m*v²
= 0.5*(0.03 kg)*(500 m/s)² = 3750 J
Because the bullet comes to rest, the change in mechanical energy is 3750 J.
The work done by the wall to stop the bullet in 12 cm is
W = (1/2)*(F N)*(0.12 m) = 0.06F J
If energy losses in the form of heat or sound waves are ignored, then
W = KE.
That is,
0.06F = 3750
F = 62500 N = 62.5 kN
Answer:
(a) 3750 J
(b) 62.5 kN
Answer:
The voltage of the battery
Four of them pass a point every second.
Answer:
μ = 0.375
Explanation:
F = Applied force on the trash can = 75 N
W = weight of the trash can = 200 N
f = frictional force acting on trash can
Since the trash can moves at constant speed, force equation for the motion of can is given as
F - f = 0
75 - f = 0
f = 75 N
μ = Coefficient of friction
frictional force is given as
f = μ W
75 = μ (200)
μ = 0.375
