It is well known that bullets fired at Superman simply bounce off his chest. Suppose that a gangster sprays Superman's chest wit

h bullets of mass m = 1.7 g at a rate of R = 165 bullets/min. The speed of each bullet is v = 380 m/s. Suppose the bullets rebound with no change in speed. What is the average force exerted by the stream of bullets on Superman's chest?

Answer:

1.77 N

Explanation:

Mass of bullet m = 1.7 x 10⁻³ kg

velocity v = 380 m /s .

Momentum of one bullet

= 1.7 x 10⁻³ x 380

= 646 x 10⁻³ kg m/s

momentum of 165 bullets

= 165 x 646 x 10⁻³ kg m/s

= 106.59 kg m/s

Final momentum after bouncing

= 0

change in momentum

= 106.59  - 0

= 106.59 kg m/s

This change occurs in one minute

so rate of change in momentum

= 106.59 / 60 kg m/s per second

= 1.77 kg m/s per second

rate of change in momentum = force

This is force on superman's chest

Force required = 1.77 N .

Number of conducting plates of a multiplate capacitor is 5. The no. Of capacitors is
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

4 capacitors

Explanation:

Given

n = 5 --- conducting plates

Required

The number of capacitor (c)

This is calculated as:

c = n - 1

So, we have:

c = 5 - 1

c = 4

A flat coil of wire consisting of 15 turns, each with an area of 40 cm 2, is positioned perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic fi
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

0.54 A

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Number of turns, N = 15

Area of coil, A = 40 cm² = 0.004 m²

Change in magnetic field, ΔB = 5.1 - 1.5 = 3.6 T

Time interval, Δt = 2 secs

Resistance of the coil, R = 0.2 ohms

To get the magnitude of the current, we have to first find the magnitude of the EMF induced in the coil:

|V| = |(-N * ΔB * A) /Δt)

|V| = | (-15 * 3.6 * 0.004) / 2 |

|V| = 0.108 V

According to Ohm's law:

|V| = |I| * R

|I| = |V| / R

|I| = 0.108 / 0.2

|I| = 0.54 A

The magnitude of the current in the coil of wire is 0.54 A
