Answer:

The answer to your question is F = 16 N

Explanation:

Data

mass = 8 g

vo = 800 m/s

distance = 20 cm

force = ?

vf = 0 m/s

Process

1.- Calculate the acceleration of the bullet

Formula

  a = (vf² - vo²)/2d

Substitution

  a = (0 - 800)/2(0.2)

  a = -800/0.4

  a = 2000 m/s²

2.- Convert 8g to kg

           1000 g   --------------- 1 kg

                 8 g   -------------- x

             x = (8 x 1)/1000

             x = 0.008 kg

3.- Calculate the force

Formula

      F = ma

Substitution

      F = (0.008)(2000)

Simplification and result

      F = 16 N

Perform the calculation and report your answer using sig figs. 657.70 - 26.543
Anton [14]

Answer:

The answer is 631.157

Explanation:

The question requested that the answer to the subtraction of 26.543 from 657.70 must be written using significant figures.

Here are a few tips about how to Identify significant figures.

1) It should be noted that <u>the number "0" is what is usually (but not always) affected</u> while trying to identify significant figures. Hence, <u>all other numbers/digits are always significant</u>. For example, 26.543 has five significant figures.

2) The zeros found between these "other numbers/digits" are also significant. For example, 2202 has four significant figures.

3) In the case of a decimal, the tailing zeros or the final zero is also significant. 657.70 and 657.07 have five significant figures.

Now, back to the question

657.70  - 26.543  = 631.157.

Our final answer does not have a zero, hence all the digits (six) are significant.

What is the most likely reason it is dangerous to break open a compressed gas tank?
erastova [34]
The main reason why it's very dangerous to open compress gas tank is it can cause major disaster not only in human but also in plants and animals. Compress gas is flammable. And it's like a bomb the damage of gas tank is very catastrophic. It is very harmful if mishandled.

The four tires of an automobile are inflated to a gauge pressure of 2.2 105 Pa. Each tire has an area of 0.023 m2 in contact wit
Stels [109]

Answer:

Force, F = 20240 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Pressure exerted by the four tires of an automobile, P=2.2\times 10^5\ Pa

Area of each tire, A=0.023\ m^2

Area of 4 tires,  A=0.092\ m^2

We know that the pressure exerted by an object is equal to the force per unit area. Its formula is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

F=P\times A

F=2.2\times 10^5\times 0.092

F = 20240 N

So, the weight of the automobile is 20240 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
