The high-speed winds around a tornado can drive projectiles into trees, building walls, and even metal traffic signs. In a labor

atory simulation, a standard wood toothpick was shot by pneumatic gun into an oak branch. The toothpick mass was 0.12 g, its speed before entering the branch was 221 m/s, and its penetration depth was 16 mm. If its speed was decreased at a uniform rate, what was the magnitude of the force of the branch on the toothpick?

Answer:

F  = 183.153 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the toothpick = 0.12 g = 0.00012 kg  

initial velocity = 227 m/s    

final velocity = 0 m/s      

penetration depth = 16 mm = 0.016 m        

using the equation of motion        

v² - u² = 2 a s                            

0 - u² = 2 a s                                      

- 221² = 2 × a × 0.016      

a = 1526281.25 m/s²            

Force is equal to            

F = m a

  = 0.00012 × 1526281.25

F  = 183.153 N

How does the suns energy contribute to the carbon cycle
netineya [11]

Answer:

Plants are a good starting point when looking at the carbon cycle on Earth. Plants have a process called photosynthesis that enables them to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and combine it with water. Using the energy of the Sun, plants make sugars and oxygen molecules.
