A 15-g bullet moving at 300 m/s passes through a 2.0 cm thick sheet of foam plastic and emerges with a speed of 90 m/s. Let's as

sume that the speed of the bullet changes takes place uniformly (uniform deceleration). Find the change in momentum of the bullet. Find the time the bullet is in contact with the plastic, Delta t. Find the average force impeded by the bullet's motion through the plastic.

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Change in momentum, Δp = mΔv = m(v - u) = (15 * 10-3) * (90 - 300) = -3.15 kg-m2

b) Acceleration of the bullet, a = (v2 - u2) / 2s = (902 - 3002) / (2 * 0.02) = -2047500 m/s2

So, the bullet is in contact with the plastic for the time,  \bigtriangleupt = \frac{(v - u)}{a} =\frac{(90 - 300)}{(-2047500)} = 1.03 \times 10^{-4} s

c) Average force, F_{avg} =\frac{\bigtriangleup p}{\bigtriangleup t} =\frac{(-3.15)}{(1.03 \times 10^{-4})} = 30.6 kN

If a ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 80 ft/s, then its height after t seconds is s = 80t − 16t 2 . (a) what
MAXImum [283]
Max height occurs when v = 0.
v(t) = ds(t)/dt
v(t) = 80 - 32t
0 = 80 - 32t
t = 5/2

s(5/2) = 80(5/2) - 16(5/2)^2
s(5/2) = 100
Answer: 100 ft

96 = 80t - 16t²
t = 3, 2
(80 ± √256) / 32 using the quadratic equation.

v(2) = 16
v(3) = -16

Some giant ocean waves have a wavelength of 25 m and a frequency of
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The frequency equation for waves is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} where f is the frequency, v is the velocity, and lambda is the wavelength. Filling in:

.26=\frac{v}{25} so

v = .26(25) and

v = 6.5 meters/second
