b. Determine the average force exerted on the wall.
c. Assuming the bullets are spread out over an area of 3.0×10^−4m^2 obtain the average pressure they exert on this region of the wall.

Answer:

a. ΔP/Δt = 42.6 N

b. F = 42.6 N

c. P = 142042.4 Pa = 1.42 KPa

Explanation:

a.

First, we find the change in momentum of the bullets. For one bullet:

ΔP = m(Vf - Vi)

where,

ΔP = Change in Momentum = ?

m = mass of bullet = 5 x 10⁻³ kg

Vf = Final Speed = 1110 m/s

Vi = Initial Speed = 0 m/s (Since bullets are initially at rest)

Therefore,

ΔP = (3 x 10⁻³ kg)(1110 m/s - 0 m/s)

ΔP = 3.33 N.s

For 151 bullets:

ΔP = (151)(3.33 N.s)

ΔP = 502.83 N.s

Now, dividing this by time interval, Δt = 11.8 s

ΔP/Δt = 502.83 N.s/ 11.8 s

<u>ΔP/Δt = 42.6 N</u>

<u></u>

b.

According to Newton's Second Law, the force is equal to rate of change of linear momentum:

Average Force = F = ΔP/Δt

<u>F = 42.6 N</u>

<u></u>

c.

The pressure is given by:

Average Pressure = P = Average Force/Area

P = 42.6 N/ 3 x 10⁻⁴ m²

<u>P = 142042.4 Pa = 1.42 KPa</u>

A particle of mass m moves under the influence of a force given by F = (−kx + kx3/α2) where k and α are positive constants. a) F

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) F = (-kx + kx³/a²)

intensity of field

I = F / m

= (-kx + kx³/a²) / m

If U be potential function

- dU / dx = (-kx + kx³/a²) / m

U(x) = ∫ (kx - kx³/a²) / m dx

= k/m ( x²/2 - x⁴/4a²)

b )

For equilibrium points , U is either maximum or minimum .

dU / dx = x - 4x³/4a² = 0

x = ± a.

dU / dx = x - x³/a²

Again differentiating

d²U / dx² = 1 - 3x² / a²

Put the value of x = ± a.

we get

d²U / dx² = -2 ( negative )

So at x = ± a , potential energy U is maximum.

c )

U = k/m ( x²/2 - x⁴/4a²)

When x =0 , U = 0

When x= ± a.

U is maximum

So the shape of the U-x curve is like a bowl centered at x = 0

d ) Maximum potential energy

put x = a or -a in

U(max) = k/m ( x²/2 - x⁴/4a²)

= k/m ( a² / 2 - a⁴/4a²)

= k/m ( a² / 2 - a²/4)

a²k / 4m

This is the maximum total energy where kinetic energy is zero.

what will be the gravitational force between two bodies if the mass of each is doubled and the distance between them is halved?

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Gravitational force will be 16 times more.

Explanation:

we know;

Gravitational force (F) = (Gm1m2)/d^2

when mass of each is doubled and distance between them is halved;

F= (G2m1×2m2)/(d/2)^2

=(4Gm1m2)/(d^2/4)

=4×4(Gm1m2)/d^2

=16(Gm1m2)/d^2

=16F

Two blocks are on a horizontal frictionless surface. Block a is moving with an initial velocity

AfilCa [17]

The final velocity of the block A will be 2.5 m/sec. The principal of the momentum conversation is used in the given problem.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

In a given concern, mass m₁ is M, mass m₂ is 3M. Initial speed for the mass m₁ and m₂ will be u₁=5 and u₂=0 m/s respectively,

According to the law of conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision =Momentum after collision

m₁u₁+m₂u₂=(m₁+m₂)v

M×5+3M×0=[M+3M]v

The final velocity is found as;

V=51.25 m/s

The velocity of block A is found as;

$\rm V_f=\frac{(m_1-m_2)u_1}{m_1+m_2} +\frac{2m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2} \\\\ V_f=\frac{(M-3M)5+2\times3M\times0}{m_1+m_2} \\\\ V_f=2.5 m/s$

Hence, the final velocity of the block A will be 2.5 m/sec.

An above ground swimming pool of 30 ft diameter and 5 ft depth is to be filled from a garden hose (smooth interior) of length 10

STALIN [3.7K]

This question involves the concepts of dynamic pressure, volume flow rate, and flow speed.

It will take "5.1 hours" to fill the pool.

First, we will use the formula for the dynamic pressure to find out the flow speed of water:

$P=\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2P}{\rho}}$

where,

v = flow speed = ?

P = Dynamic Pressure = 55 psi $(\frac{6894.76\ Pa}{1\ psi})$ = 379212 Pa

$\rho$ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Therefore,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(379212\ Pa)}{1000\ kg/m^3}}$

v = 27.54 m/s

Now, we will use the formula for volume flow rate of water coming from the hose to find out the time taken by the pool to be filled:

$\frac{V}{t} = Av\\\\t =\frac{V}{Av}$

where,

t = time to fill the pool = ?

A = Area of the mouth of hose = $\frac{\pi (0.015875\ m)^2}{4}$ = 1.98 x 10⁻⁴ m²

V = Volume of the pool = (Area of pool)(depth of pool) = A(1.524 m)

V = $[\frac{\pi (9.144\ m)^2}{4}][1.524\ m]$ = 100.1 m³

Therefore,

$t = \frac{(100.1\ m^3)}{(1.98\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m^2)(27.54\ m/s)}\\\\$

<u>t = 18353.5 s = 305.9 min = 5.1 hours</u>
