A rifle bullet leaves the barrel at 1500 meters per second. If it does not slow down or hit anything, how far can it travel in h

alf a second?

Since we are dividing a second in 2, we can simply divide the amount of meters by 2.

1500/2=750

It travels 750 meters in half a second.

Hope this helps!

A charge Q is distributed uniformly on a non-conducting ring of radius R and mass M. The ring is dropped from rest from a height

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Check below for the explanation

Explanation:

Since it is stated that the ring is dropped from a height, h, through a non uniform magnetic field, two kinds of force will act on the ring, namely:

A magnetic force (that is non uniform since the field is non uniform)
Gravitational force

A certain amount of torque is provided by the non uniform magnetic force on the ring while the force gravity pulls it down. Due to the downward pull by the force of gravity on the ring and the torque acting on it as a result of the non uniform magnetic force, the ring begins to rotate.

It is 2058 and you are taking your grandchildren to Mars. At an elevation of 34.7 km above the surface of Mars, your spacecraft

Paul [167]

Answer: $1.23\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

At an elevation of $y=34.7\ km$ , spacecraft is dropping vertically at a speed of $u=293\ m/s$

Final velocity of the spacecraft is $v=0$

using equation of motion i.e. $v^2-u^2=2as$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow 0-(293)^2=2\times a\times (34.7\times 10^3)\\\\\Rightarrow a=-\dfrac{293^2}{2\times 34.7\times 10^3}\\\\\Rightarrow a=-1.23\ m/s^2$

Therefore, magnitude of acceleration is $1.23\ m/s^2$ .

A car is moving in uniform circular motion. If the cars speed were to double to keep the car moving with the same radius the acc

Stells [14]

Answer:

<em>The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4</em>

<em>Correct choice: B.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

The circular motion is described when an object rotates about a fixed point called center. The distance from the object to the center is the radius. There are other magnitudes in the circular motion like the angular speed, tangent speed, and centripetal acceleration. The formulas are:

$v_t=w\ r$

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{r}$

If the speed is doubled and the radius is the same, then

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{(2v_t)^2}{r}$

$\displaystyle a_c=4\frac{v_t^2}{r}$

The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4

Correct choice: B.
