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

What tools/information do you think meteorologists need to predict the weather?
Over [174]

Answer:

Meteorologists use a variety of tools to help them gather information about weather and climate. Some more familiar ones are thermometers which measure air temperature, anemometers which gauge wind speeds, and barometers which provide information on air pressure.

A loop of wire is carrying current of 2 A . The radius of the loop is 0.4 m. What is the magnetic field at a distance 0.09 m alo
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

B=2.91\ \mu T

Explanation:

Given that,

The current in the loop, I = 2 A

The radius of the loop, r = 0.4 m

We need to find the magnetic field at a distance 0.09 m along the axis and above the center of the loop. The formula for the magnetic field at some distance is given as follows :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o}{4\pi }\dfrac{2\pi r^2 I}{(r^2+d^2)^{3/2}}

Put all the values,

B=10^{-7}\times \dfrac{2\pi \times 0.4^2 \times 2}{(0.4^2+0.09^2)^{3/2}}\\\\=2.91\times 10^{-6}\ T\\\\or\\\\B=2.91\ \mu T

So, the required magnetic field is equal to 2.91\ \mu T.

The tendency of two masses alone in the universe to drift together is a result of
torisob [31]
It is as a result of gravity.  (D)

This is as stated by Newton's law of universal gravitation. That two objects in the universe attract one another with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance apart.

The constant of proportionality is the Universal Gravitational Constant.

G = 6.673 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²
