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 .

Definitely not A or B. It really depends on the size of the boulder... It should be kilograms, unless it's a extremely huge boulder.

Does passing a magnet through a coil of wire break off it’s electric current
hichkok12 [17]
A magnetic field is actually generated by a moving current (or moving electric charge specifically). The magnetic field generated by a moving current can be found by using the right hand rule, point your right thumb in the direction of current flow, then the wrap of your fingers will tell you what direction the magnetic field is. In the case of current traveling up a wire, the magnetic field generated will encircle the wire. Similarly electromagnets work by having a wire coil, and causing current to spin in a circle, generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow (again right hand rule).

So if you were to take a permenant magnet and cut a hole in it then string a straight wire through it... my guess is nothing too interesting would happen. The two different magnetic fields might ineteract in a peculiar way, but nothing too fascinating, perhaps if you give me more context as to what you might think would happen or what made you come up with this question I could help.

An object has traveled 20 meters in 40 seconds what is its average speed
Mice21 [21]

Hello,


To solve we need to know the formula for speed

The formula is D/T=S     (Distance of time=speed)

Now all we have to do is plug in the numbers.

20/40= 1/2 or 0.5

SO the speed is 0.5 m/s


Have a great day!

How much would you have to eat for your appendix to explode ? I ate so much on thanksgiving and i need to know i’m very scared
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

I don't think your appendix can explode because you ate too much honestly. It's not even possible to eat so much that your appendix explodes, and if you're feeling any pain it definitely isn't because your appendix is about to explode, believe me. Also you could just type it into the internet, that'd be a much faster solution.
