On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The acceleration due to gravity on t

he moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hits the ball with a speed of 14 m/s at an angle 20 ∘ above the horizontal. For how much more time was the ball in flight?

Answer:

4.86 seconds

Explanation:

Velocity of projection, u = 14 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 20°

Formula for the time of flight

T=\frac{2uSin\theta }{g}

For earth

Te = (2 x 14 x Sin 20) / 9.8

Te = 0.98 s

For moon

g' = g/6 = 1.64 m/s^2

Tm = ( 2 x 14 x Sin 20) / 1.64

Tm = 5.84 seconds

Tm - Te = 5.84 - 0.98 = 4.86 s

So, it takes 4.86 s more time of flight on moon than the earth.

A 30 g bullet moving a horizontal velocity of 500 m/s comes to a stop 12 cm within a solid wall. (a) what is the change in the b
Sidana [21]
M = 30 g = 0.03 kg, the mass of the bullet
v = 500 m/s, the velocity of the bullet

By definition, the KE (kinetic energy) of the bullet is
KE = (1/2)*m*v²
      = 0.5*(0.03 kg)*(500 m/s)² = 3750 J
Because the bullet comes to rest, the change in mechanical energy is 3750 J.

The work done by the wall to stop the bullet in 12 cm is
W = (1/2)*(F N)*(0.12 m) = 0.06F J

If energy losses in the form of heat or sound waves are ignored, then
W = KE.
That is,
0.06F = 3750
F = 62500 N = 62.5 kN

Answer:
(a) 3750 J
(b) 62.5 kN

Sound waves have relatively long wavelengths. We can hear people around the corner before we can see them. Which wave behavior d
pogonyaev
I'd say diffraction since sound waves can bend around objects like corners. Let's say you're in the hallway and you can hear sound coming from a door. The sound waves diffract around the door and spread out into the hallway, making it possible for you to hear.  
Also, you can hear it before you see it because light waves are shorter than sound waves and hardly diffract around doors.

How long would this acceleration last
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
It would last as long as the applied force continued, or until the accelerating object hit something.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

IGNEOUS ROCKS

Explanation: Igneous rocks are those rocks that solidify from magma.

Igneous rock is divided into two ,they are:

1. Intrusive

Igneous rocks crystallized belowearth"s crust. Its cooling material is called lava.

2 Extrusive igneous rock is also known as known as volcanic rocks
