Answer:

Solving for time :

(There are 4 formulas from linear motion. These formulas are very helpful as it allows us to prevent complicated calculations. Choose among the four that has : 1. The most constants known

2. The unknown constant that we want to solve)

s = (1/2)(u+v)t <--- one of the formulas

from linear motion

s (distance) = 0.05m

u (initial velocity) = 100m/s

v (final velocity) = 0 m/s (it stops)

t (time taken for change in velocity) = to be found

0.05 = (1/2)(100+0)t

t = 0.001 seconds

Solving for the resistant force :

Since the bullet hits the bag with an impulsive force and stops, the force that stops the bullet is the resistant force.

When the bullet stops :

F net = 0

F r = F imp

F r = (mu -mv)/t

F r = (0.01x100-0.01x0)/0.001

F r = 1/0.001

F r = 1000N

8. When a 100 N bag of nails hangs motionless from a single vertical strand of rope, how many newtons of tension are exerted in

Svetllana [295]

If the bag is motionless, then it's not accelerating up or down.
That fact right there tells you that the net vertical force on it
is zero. So the sum of any upward forces on it is exactly equal
to the downward gravitational force ... the bag's "weight".

If the bag is suspended from a single rope, then the tension
in the rope must be equal to the 100-N weight of the bag.

And if there are four ropes holding it up, then the sum of
the four tensions is 100N. If the ropes have been carefully
adjusted to share the load equally, then the tension is 25N
in each rope.

One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 X 10-???? m3) covers an area of 25.0 m2. What i the thickne s of the fresh paint on the wall?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Volume of paint is $V=3.79\times 10^{-3}\ m^3$

Area of cover $A=25\ m^2$

Suppose paint to be a rectangular box with thickness t and volume V

therefore we can write as

$V=A\times t$

$t=\frac{V}{A}$

$t=\frac{3.79\times 10^{-3}}{25}$

$t=1.516\times 10^{-3}\ m$

$t=1.516\ mm$

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m.how much work

aksik [14]

It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
$F=k_e \frac{q_e q_e}{d^2}$
So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.
