The correct arrangement of the question is;

If a projectile hits a stationary target, and the projectile continues to travel in the same direction,

A) the mass of the projectile is less than the mass of the target.

B) the mass of the projectile is equal to the mass of the target.

C) the mass of the projectile is greater than the mass of the target.

D) nothing can be said about the masses of the projectile and target without further information.

E) this is an unphysical situation and will not actually happen.

Answer:

Option C: The mass of the projectile is greater than the mass of the target.

Explanation:

We want to find what will happen when a projectile continues in motion after it hits a target.

Now, for the projectile to keep moving in that direction after it hits the target, it means it had a force bigger than the force of the target to overpower it and force it to move with it.

Now, from law of inertia, Force = ma.

But in this case acceleration is 0 because the speed of the projectile is constant.

Thus, the force depends on the mass. So for a higher force, the mass of the projectile has to be more than that of the stationary object.

Thus, option C is correct

when 82.5 calories of heat are given to a metallic rod of mass 150g its temperature raises from 20 degree celcius to 25 degree C
marishachu [46]

A 150-g metallic rod with a specific heat of 0.11 cal/g.°C absorbs 82.5 calories of heat and its temperature increases from 20 °C to 25 °C.

<h3>What is specific heat?</h3>

It is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount (usually one degree).

A metallic rod of mass 150 g (m) absorbs 82.5 cal of heat (Q) and its temperature raises from 20 °C to 25 °C. We can calculate the specific heat (c) of the metal using the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

c = Q / m × ΔT

c = 82.5 cal / 150 g × (25 °C - 20 °C) = 0.11 cal/g.°C

A 150-g metallic rod with a specific heat of 0.11 cal/g.°C absorbs 82.5 calories of heat and its temperature increases from 20 °C to 25 °C.

A bomb is dropped from a bomber traveling at the speed of 120 km / h, destroying a military objective located at a distance of 2
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

18 km

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s:

120 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 33.3 m/s

The time it takes the bomb to travel the 2000 meters is:

2000 m / (33.3 m/s) = 60 s

So it takes 60 seconds for the bomb to fall.  The distance it fell is therefore:

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

Δy = (0 m/s) (60 s) + ½ (10 m/s²) (60 s)²

Δy = 18,000 m

Δy = 18 km

The equations of kinematics describe the motion of an
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The equations of kinematics is applied for the motion with constant acceleration (including zero), but the condition is that the acceleration should be in the direction of the motion (positive or negative).

In circular motion, the acceleration is radial (centripetal), which means that the acceleration is always perpendicular to the motion of the object, therefore the equations of kinematics cannot be applied.
