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 student throws a set of keys vertically upward to his fraternity brother, who is in a window 3.60 m above. The brother's outst
Contact [7]

Answer:

v_{i}=10.10 m/s

Explanation:

The equation of the position is:

y=y_{i}+v_{i}t-0.5gt^{2}

Where:

v(i) is the initial velocity

The initial position y(i) will be zero and the final position y = 3.60 m.

So, we just need to solve this equation for v(i).

v_{i}=\frac{y+0.5gt^{2}}{t}

v_{i}=\frac{3.6+0.5*9.81*1.6^{2}}{1.6}

v_{i}=10.10 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity is 10.10 m/s upwards.

I hope it helps you!

Please help. Basic. Brainliest will be given.

Answer:

28.7 m at 46.9°

Explanation:

The x component of the displacement is:

x = 6 m cos 0° + 25 m cos 57°

x = 19.6 m

The y component of the displacement is:

y = 6 m sin 0° + 25 m sin 57°

y = 21.0 m

The total displacement is found with Pythagorean theorem:

d = √(x² + y²)

d = 28.7 m

And the direction is found with trig:

θ = tan⁻¹(y/x)

θ = 46.9°

Describe in terms of kinetic and potential energy what happens if an apple falls from a tree and comes to rest on the ground( wr
Lunna [17]

Answer:

An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv²  where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.

As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.

But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.
