Answer:

Diamonds are formed in Mantle and they require large amount of temperature and pressure for their formation. These come up in higher layers due to volcanic eruptions. The pressure is caused by the downward force from the rocks in the crust

A 6.99-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +341 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (s

Ratling [72]

Answer:

a). 1.218 m/s

b). R=2.8 $^{-3}$

Explanation:

$m_{bullet}=6.99g*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=6.99x10^{-3}kg$

$v_{bullet}=341\frac{m}{s}$

Momentum of the motion the first part of the motion have a momentum that is:

$P_{1}=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}$

$P_{1}=6.99x10^{-3}kg*341\frac{m}{s} \\P_{1}=2.3529$

The final momentum is the motion before the action so:

a).

$P_{2}=m_{b1}*v_{fbullet}+(m_{b2}+m_{bullet})*v_{f}}$

$P_{2}=1.202 kg*0.554\frac{m}{s}+(1.523kg+6.99x10^{-3}kg)*v_{f}$

$P_{1}=P_{2}$

$2.529=0.665+(1.5299)*v_{f}\\v_{f}=\frac{1.864}{1.5299}\\v_{f}=1.218 \frac{m}{s}$

b).

kinetic energy

$K=\frac{1}{2}*m*(v)^{2}$

Kinetic energy after

$Ka=\frac{1}{2}*1.202*(0.554)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}*1.523*(1.218)^{2}\\Ka=1.142 J$

Kinetic energy before

$Kb=\frac{1}{2}*mb*(vf)^{2}\\Kb=\frac{1}{2}*6.99x10^{-3}kg*(341)^{2}\\Kb=406.4J$

Ratio = $\frac{Ka}{Kb}$

$R=\frac{1.14}{406.4}\\R=2.8x10^{-3}$

During the last shot of the game, the basketball goes from rest to 15 m/s and reaches the backboard in 0.41 s. What was the acce

Anna [14]

Answer: a= 37m

Explanation: V= 15 m/s (Velocity) t= 0.41s (time) formula: a= v/t

15 m/s / 0.41 (15 divided by 0.41) = 36.583m

There are 2 significant digits, 36, you look at the third digit, either round up or down in this case up to 36. a= 37m

F a forklift raises a 76-kg load a distance of 2.5 m, about how much work has it done?

sleet_krkn [62]

W= FxD. Since the weight is not put into force you’re going to convert it by multiplying it by 9.8 (gravity). 76kg x 9.8 = 7448. Then multiply that by the distance (2.5). Your answer is 1862.
