Answer:

  F = -49.1   10³ N

Explanation:

Let's use the kinematics to find the acceleration the acceleration of the bullet that they tell us is constant

   v_{f}² = v₀² + 2 a x

Since the bullet is at rest, the final speed is zero

    x = 11.00 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.110 m

    0 = v₀² + 2 a x

   a = -v₀² / 2 x

   a = -1320²/(2 0.110)

   a = -7.92 10⁶ m / s²

With Newton's second law we find the force

   F = m a

   F = 6.20 10⁻³ (-7.92 10⁶)

   F = -49.1   10³ N

The sign means that it is the force that the tree exerts to stop the   bullet

rewona [7]

Answer:

coordinates of the center of mass for these two rods

(x_{cm}, y_{cm})= (\frac{3L}{4},  \frac{3L}{4})cm

Explanation:

given

mass of a rod = 2m

length of the rod = 3L

mass of two rods = 2(2m) = 4m

radius = diameter/2 = \frac{3L}{2}

Pls help‼️Help me with these questions! :/
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

No number answer; don't want to pull out a calculator lol

Explanation:

Capacitors are added in parallel; opposite of resistors.

So for 9, add 10 and 2.5 then do ((1/12.5)+(1/.3))^-1.

For 10, add 0.75 and 15 first, then the rest is the same idea as 9.
