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 .

A spherical mirror is polished on both sides. When the concave side is used as a mirror, the magnification is 4.4. What is the m
patriot [66]

Answer:

m = \frac{-4.4}{7.4}

Explanation:

magnification is the ratio of distance of image to distance of object

i.e. m = -\frac{d_i}{d_o}

d_i = -4.4 d_o

As per the lens equation,

\frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{f}

We will calculate the focal length of the mirror

\frac{1}{yd_o} + \frac{1}{-4.4d_o} = \frac{1}{f} \\\frac{4.4 -1}{4.4} \frac{1}{d_o} =  \frac{1}{f}\\f = \frac{4.4}{3.4}  d_o

Now for convex mirror only the sign will change

Thus, focal length would be equal to

f = - \frac{4.4}{3.4} d_o

Plugging this value into lens equation, we get

\frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{f} \\\frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{-3.4}{4.4} \frac{1}{d_o} \\\frac{7.4}{4.4} \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{d_i}\\\frac{d_i}{d_o} = \frac{4.4}{7.4} \\m =-  \frac{d_i}{d_o} \\\\m = - \frac{4.4}{7.4}

If a ball rolls off a cliff that is 40.0 meters tall and lands 10.0 meters from the base of the cliff, with what initial horizon
IrinaVladis [17]

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

initial velocity along vertical=0

velocity along horizontal Vx

acceleration along the vertical=9.8 m/s²

displacement along vertical,h=40 m

distance along horizontal= 10 m

using the kinematic equation

h= vi*t + 1/2 g t²

40=0(t) + 1/2 (9.8)t²

t²=8.163

t=2.857 s

now the displacement along vertical= x= Vx* t

10=Vx (2.857)

Vx=3.5 m/s
