The gravitational acceleration experienced by the bullet due to the earth's gravitational force is approximately equals to 9.81 m/s^2

At maximum point of height, vertical component of velocity equals to zero because it experiences a pause momentarily before coming back down.

Since -acceleration=(Final velocity-initial velocity) divided by time. Taking upwards to be positive, time taken= 10s

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

There are many formulas that can be used to calculate time taken, or final velocity, or initial velocity, etc.

However, the easiest formula to use in this situation would be:

v = u + at (where v= final velocity; u= initial velocity; a= acceleration; t= time)

At the bullet's highest point, it will not have any vertical velocity, and since we are trying to find the time it takes to reach the highest point, we take the final velocity as zero.

Initial velocity was given as 98 m/s in the vertical direction.

Acceleration due to gravity is -9,8 m/s² (negative due to taking the up direction as positive).

Plugging in the values:

t = (v-u) / a

t = (0-98 m/s) / -9,8 m/s²

t = 10 seconds

In a crash test, a truck with mass 2100 kg traveling at 22 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The fron
slega [8]

Answer:

a)   v_average = 11 m / s, b)  t = 0.0627 s

, c)    F = 7.37 10⁵ N

, d)   F / W = 35.8

Explanation:

a) truck speed can be found with kinematics

         v² = v₀² - 2 a x

The fine speed zeroes them

           a = v₀² / 2x

           a = 22²/2 0.69

           a = 350.72 m / s²

The average speed is

           v_average = (v + v₀) / 2

           v_average = (22 + 0) / 2

           v_average = 11 m / s

b) The average time

          v = v₀ - a t

          t = v₀ / a

          t = 22 / 350.72

          t = 0.0627 s

c) The force can be found with Newton's second law

             F = m a

             F = 2100 350.72

             F = 7.37 10⁵ N

.d) the ratio of this force to weight

             F / W = 7.37 10⁵ / (2100 9.8)

             F / W = 35.8

.e) Several approaches will be made:

- the resistance of air and tires is neglected

- It is despised that the force is not constant in time

- Depreciation of materials deformation during the crash

After coming down a slope, a 60-kg skier is coasting northward on a level, snowy surface at a constant 15 m>s. Her 5.0-kg cat
Vinil7 [7]

To solve this exercise, it is necessary to apply the concepts of conservation of the moment especially in objects that experience an inelastic colposition.

They are expressed as,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where,

m_1= mass of the skier

m_2= mass of the cat

v_1 = initial velocity of skier

v_2 = initial velocity of cat

v_f= final velocity of both

Re-arrange to find V_f we have,

V_f = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V_f = \frac{(60)(15)+(5)(-3.8)}{(60+5)}

V_f = 13.55m/s

Once the final velocity is found it is possible to calculate the change in kinetic energy, so

\Delta KE = KE_i-KE_f

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}(m_1v_1^2+m_2v^2_2)-\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v_f^2

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}((60)(15)^2+(5)(-3.8)^2)-\frac{1}{2}(60+5)(13.55)^2

\Delta KE = 819.1J

Therefore the amount of kinetic energy converted in to internal energy is 819J
