A bullet is fired through a wooden board with a thickness of 9.0 cm. The bullet hits the board perpendicular to it, and with a s

peed of +370 m/s. The bullet then emerges on the other side of the board with a speed of +259 m/s. Assuming constant acceleration (rather, deceleration!) of the bullet while inside the wooden board, calculate the acceleration.
Remember that since the bullet is traveling in the positive direction and it is slowing down, the acceleration is in the opposite, or negative, direction. (In this case the acceleration is negative.)
Calculate also the total time the bullet is in contact with the board (in sec).

Answer:

-387883.3 m/s²

0.000286168546055 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 370 m/s

v = Final velocity = 259 m/s

s = Displacement = 9 cm

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{259^2-370^2}{2\times 9\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow a=-387883.3\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the bullet is -387883.3 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{259-370}{-387883.3}\\\Rightarrow t=0.000286168546055\ s

The time taken is 0.000286168546055 seconds

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.

What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?
OLEGan [10]
This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.

An atom contains 15 neutrons and has a mass number of 30. What is its atomic number? How did you determine the atomic number?
irinina [24]

Answer:

15

Explanation:

The mass number is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is total number of protons. And since we have the mass number and number of neutrons, we can use simple subtraction (30 - 15) to find that the atomic number is 15.

a concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 1.0 m is used to collect light from a distant star. what is the distance between
kherson [118]

To gather light from a far-off star, a concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 1.0 m is utilized. Most likely 0.25 meters separate the mirror from the star's picture.

A concave mirror is a kind of spherical mirror in which the reflecting surface is the inside radius of curvature of the sphere, or in other words, the reflecting surface appears to be far from the incident light source. Is called concave mirror.

The reciprocal of the curvature is known as the radius of curvature, or R. It is equal to the circumference of the circular arc that, at that location, most closely resembles the curve. The circle's radius that best matches a normal section is known as the radius of curvature for surfaces.
