That's an urban legend that's been around for a long time.
It was tested on "Mythbusters".  The conclusion was that
it would sting pretty good, and maybe raise a lump, but
it would never penetrate the skull, and it couldn't kill.

The average speed of a nitrogen molecule in air is about 6.70×102 m/s, and its mass is 4.68×10-26 kg.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

a)   a = 3.06 10¹⁵ m / s , b)    F= 1.43  10⁻¹⁰ N, c)    F_total = 14.32 10⁻²⁶ N

Explanation:

This exercise will average solve using the moment relationship.

a ) let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum

          I = ∫ F dt = Δp

          F t = m v_{f} - m v₀

          F = m (v_{f} -v₀o) / t

 in the exercise indicates that the speed module is the same, but in the opposite direction

          F = m (-2v) / t

if we use Newton's second law

          F = m a

we substitute

            - 2 mv / t = m a

            a = - 2 v / t

let's calculate

            a = - 2 4.59 10²/3 10⁻¹³

            a = 3.06 10¹⁵ m / s

b)      F= m a

        F= 4.68 10⁻²⁶ 3.06 10¹⁵

        F= 1.43  10⁻¹⁰ N

c) if we hit the wall for 1015 each exerts a force F

            F_total = n F

            F_total = n m a

            F_total = 10¹⁵  4.68 10⁻²⁶ 3.06 10¹⁵

            F_total = 14.32 10⁻²⁶ N

Name two examples where the cohesive force dominates over the adhesive force and vice versa​
lidiya [134]
Attractive forces between molecules of the same type are called cohesive forces. ... Attractive forces between molecules of different types are called adhesive forces. Such forces cause liquid drops to cling to window panes, for example.

A 19 g bullet is fired into the bob of a ballistic pendulum of mass 1.3 kg. When the bob is at its maximum height, the strings m
katovenus [111]

Answer:

217.43298 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of bullet = 19 g

m_2 = Mass of bob = 1.3 kg

L = Length of pendulum = 2.3 m

\theta = Angle of deflection = 60°

u = Velocity of bullet

Combined velocity of bullet and bob is given by

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2aL(1-cos\theta)+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times (1-cos60)+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=3.13209\ m/s

As the momentum is conserved

m_1u=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{(m_1+m_2)v}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{(0.019+1.3)\times 3.13209}{0.019}\\\Rightarrow v=217.43298\ m/s

The speed of the bullet is 217.43298 m/s

The term 'Zero Age Main Sequence' refers to the time when a new star stops contracting and hydrogen fusion starts.A. TrueB. Fals
mash [69]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a star has reached the main sequence stage, hydrogen is converted into helium by nuclear fusion, . Also, the gravity and pressure are balanced because the star does not radiate more heat than it generates. A star usually spends most of its lifetime at this stage.

The Zero Age Main Sequence is the period during the main sequence when a star stops contracting, and begin to fuse hydrogen in its core.
