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

You can see what is the electron configuration by looking at the layout of the periodic tables. the first shell will have a max of 2 electrons on it, once the first one is filled up a second is added with a max of 8 electrons on it and so on with the 8 as a max. so He, and H will only have them on the first shell but every horizontal row is a new valence or outer shell. so lets say for carbon look at the number in the upper left corner of the box will tell you the total number of electrons you will need. so start off with the first two electrons on the first shell. now you know that carbon needs 6 electrons in total, since you can only have a max of 2 on the first shell you need a second one so on the second one you will have to have the remaining 4. now elements are most stable when they have a full valence shell becuase those are the only electrons that will react with others. so if carbon has 4 it wants to either gain or lose 4 electrons so you could say that it would bond with 4H since each H will donate 1 electron to the C valence shell making all the H and C stable.

A 0.85 N force exists between a 7.1 * 10 ^ - 6 * C charge 5.4 m away. What is the magnitude of the second charge ? Please show w
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force between charge is given by the following expression

F = k Q₁ Q₂ / R² , k = 9 x 10⁹ , Q₁ and Q₂ are charges , R is distance between charges .

Putting the given values ,

.85  = 9 x 10⁹ x 7.1 x 10⁻⁶ x Q₂ / 5.4²

Q₂ = .85 x  5.4² / (9 x 10⁹ x 7.1 x 10⁻⁶ )

= .38788  x 10⁻³ C .

= 387.88 x 10⁻⁶ C .

Tarzan and Jane. Because of your concern that incorrect science is being taught to children when they watch cartoons on TV, you

Answer:

The maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing as a fraction of her initial heigh is ⅓h

Explanation:

Let

m = Mass of Tarzan

M = Mass of Jane

Given

M = 2m

To calculate the maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing, we make use of the potential energy at their initial and final position.

Reason being that;

At both the initial and final position, velocity is 0, so there's no kinetic energy.

And the potential energy remains the same (i.e constant) at any given point in the system.

Using P.E = mgh.

At initial position, PE1 = mgh

At final position, PE2 = (m + M)gH.

Where h and H represent the initial and final heights.

m + M is the new weight after Jane and Tarzan swing

Equating PE1 to PE2

mgh = (m + M)gH

By substituton (M = 2m)

mgh = (m + 2m)gH

mgh = 3mgH

Make H the subject of the formula

H = mgh/3mg

H = ⅓h

Hence, the maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing as a fraction of her initial heigh is ⅓h

From the question, the new height looks to be about ½ that of Jane's original position; i.e. ½h

The calculated height is smaller than what the cartoon is showing;

We can conclude that the cartoon is wrong.
