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 an object is rolling without slipping, how does its linear speed compare to its rotational speed? If an object is rolling wit
salantis [7]

Answer:

v = r\omega

Explanation:

If the object is rolling without slipping, every unit of rotated angle equals to a distance perimeter rotated.

Suppose the object complete 1 revolution within time t. The angular distance is 2π rad. Its angular velocity is 2π/t

The distance it covered is its circumference, which is 2πr, and so the speed is 2πr/t

So the linear speed compared to angular speed is

\frac{v}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi r/t}{2\pi /t} = r

v = r\omega

If 2000 kg cannon fires 2 kg projectile having muzzle velocity 200 m/s then the KINETIC ENERGY of the CANNON will be ("E4" means
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

M V = m v        conservation of momentum (Caps-cannon  Small-projectile)

V = m / M * V = 2 / 2000 * 200 m/s = .2 m/s    recoil velocity of cannon

KE = 1/2 M V^2 = 2000 / 2 kg * (.2 m/s)^2  = 40 kg m^2/s^2 = 40 J

Kay [80]

Answer:

The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.  Columns (groups) and rows (periods) indicate elements that share similar characteristics. The table makes trends in element properties apparent and easy to understand. The table provides important information used to balance chemical equations. Atoms are important because they form the basic building blocks of all visible matter in the universe. There are 92 types of atoms that exist in nature, and other types of atoms can be made in the lab. The different types of atoms are called elements. Hydrogen, gold and iron are examples of elements comprised of unique types of a single kind of atom.
