Answer:

We are Given:

initial velocity (u) = 0m/s

final velocity (v) = 25 m/s

time (t) = 10 seconds

acceleration (a) = a m/s/s

From the first equation of motion, we know that:

v = u + at

solving for a, we get:

a = (v-u) / t

now, plugging the given values in this equation

a = (25 - 0) / 10

a = 25 / 10

a = 2.5 m/s/s

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 2.5 m/s/s

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin

lyudmila [28]

Part a) The work done by the gas on the bullet is the integral of the force in dx, where x is the distance covered by the bullet inside the barrel with respect to the origin:
$W= \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {F} \, dx = \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {(16000+10000x-26000x^2)} \, dx =$
$=16000x+10000 \frac{x^2}{2} - 26000 \frac{x^3}{3}$
By substituting the length of the barrel, L=0.540 m, we find the total work done by the gas on the bullet:
$W=16000(0.540m)+10000 \frac{(0.540m)^2}{2} - 26000 \frac{(0.540m)^3}{3} =$
$=8733 J=8.73 kJ$

part b) The resolution of the problem is the same, we just have to use the new length of the barrel (L=0.95 m) inside the final formula, and we find the new value of the work:
$W=16000(0.95m)+10000 \frac{(0.95m)^2}{2} - 26000 \frac{(0.95m)^3}{3} =$
$=12280 J=12.28 kJ$
