Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the bullet is

M= 28g = 0.028kg.

Thickness oof sack bag

d = 30cm = 0.3m

Initial velocity of bullet Vi = 55m/s

Velocity at which the bullet emerges the sack bag is Vf = 18m/s

We want to calculate the frictional force present in the sack bag.

Using conservation of energy.

Work done by friction in the sack is equal to change in kinetic energy.

Work done by friction is given as

Wf = Fr × d

The distance is the thickness of the bag

Wf = Fr × 0.3

Wf = 0.3 • Fr

Change in kinetic energy is calculated by

∆K.E = ½mVf² — ½ mVi²

∆K.E = ½m(Vf² — Vi²)

∆K.E = ½ × 0.028 ( 18²-55²)

∆K.E = 0.014 × -2701

∆K.E = -37.814 J

Since

Work done by friction = ∆K.E

0.3 Fr = -37.814

Fr = -37.814/0.3

Fr = -126.05 N

The, negative sign show that frictional force is opposing the motion.

Fr = 126.05 N

In a mass spectrometer a particle of mass m and charge q is accelerated through a potential difference V and allowed to enter a

Ghella [55]

Answer:

m = B²qR² / 2 V

Explanation:

If v be the velocity after acceleration under potential difference of V

kinetic energy = loss of electric potential energy

1/2 m v² = Vq ,

v² = 2 Vq / m ----------------------- ( 1 )

In magnetic field , charged particle comes in circular motion in which magnetic force provides centripetal force

magnetic force = centripetal force

Bqv = mv² / R

v = BqR / m

v² = B²q²R² / m² ------------------------- (2)

from (1) and (2)

B²q²R² / m² = 2 Vq / m

m = B²q²R² / 2 Vq

m = B²qR² / 2 V

Please help me,its urgent!!

GREYUIT [131]

Test:

Performing a Litmus Test

Result:

Litmus paper gives the user a general indication of acidity or alkalinity as it correlates to the shade of red or blue that the paper turns.

To test the pH of a substance, dip a strip of litmus paper into the solution or use a dropper or pipette to drip a small amount of solution onto the litmus paper.
Blue litmus paper can indicate an acid with a pH between 4 and 5 or lower.
Red litmus paper can show a base with a pH greater than 8.
If a solution has a pH between 5 and 8, it will show little color change on the litmus paper.
A base tested with blue litmus paper will not show any color change, nor will an acid tested with red litmus paper register a change in color.

A football is place kicked with a velocity having a vertical component of 12 m/s and a horizontal component of 6 m/s. Find the r

SSSSS [86.1K]

The velocity is given by:

V = √(Vx²+Vy²)

V = velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity, Vy = vertical velocity

Given values:

Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s

Plug in and solve for V:

V = √(6²+12²)

V = 13.42m/s

Now find the direction:

θ = tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)

θ = angle of velocity off horizontal, Vy = vertical velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity

Given values:

Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s

Plug in and solve for θ:

θ = tan⁻¹(12/6)

θ = 63.4°

The resultant velocity is 13.42m/s at an angle of 63.4° off the horizontal.

The carbon atom with 12 protons and 12 electrons has a charge of:

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Isotopes are the elements having the same atomic number i.e same number of protons which in turn is equal to same number of electrons. Number of protons and electrons are equal as the atom is electrically neutral. So, the only option is A.

When the play button is pressed, a CD accelerates uniformly from rest to 450 rev/min in 3.0 revolutions. If the CD has a radius

Marina CMI [18]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

Torque from the rotational movement is defined as

$\tau = I\alpha$

where

I = Moment of inertia $\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mr^2$ For a disk

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

The angular acceleration at the same time can be defined as function of angular velocity and angular displacement (Without considering time) through the expression:

$2 \alpha \theta = \omega_f^2-\omega_i^2$

Where

$\omega_{f,i} =$ Final and Initial Angular velocity

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

$\theta =$ Angular displacement

Our values are given as

$\omega_i = 0 rad/s$

$\omega_f = 450rev/min (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})$

$\omega_f = 47.12rad/s$

$\theta = 3 rev (\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev}) \rightarrow 6\pi rad$

$r = 7cm = 7*10^{-2}m$

$m = 17g = 17*10^{-3}kg$

Using the expression of angular acceleration we can find the to then find the torque, that is,

$2\alpha\theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2$

$\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}$

$\alpha = \frac{47.12^2-0^2}{2*6\pi}$

$\alpha = 58.89rad/s^2$

With the expression of the acceleration found it is now necessary to replace it on the torque equation and the respective moment of inertia for the disk, so

$\tau = I\alpha$

$\tau = (\frac{1}{2}mr^2)\alpha$

$\tau = (\frac{1}{2}(17*10^{-3})(7*10^{-2})^2)(58.89)$

$\tau = 0.00245N\cdot m \approx 2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m$

Therefore the torque exerted on it is $2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m$
