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 .

Which is an IUPAC name for a covalent compound
Elena L [17]
In naming covalent compound (binary) based in IUPAC naming, we have 4 rules to be followed:

1. The first element of the formula will use the normal name of the given element. for example: CO2 ( Carbon Dioxide), Carbon is the element name of the first element of the formula.

2. The second element is named as if they are treated like an anion but put in mind that these are no ions in a covalent compound but we put -ide on the second element as if it is an anion.

3. Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atom of the elements in the compound. for example: mono- 1 atom, di- 2atoms, tri- 3 atoms and etc

4. Prefix "mono"is never used in naming the first element. For example: Carbon dioxide, there should be no monocarbon dioxide.

Electrons are accelerated in the picture tube of a television through potential difference of 8.00 * 10 ^ 3 V. (Use the values q
maria [59]

Answer:

\lambda=1.37\times 10^{-11}\ m

Explanation:

Give that,

The potential difference of the electrons, V=8\times 10^{3}\ V

We need to find the wavelength of the electrons.

Using the conservation of energy,

2meV=\dfrac{h^2}{\lambda^2}\\\\\lambda=\sqrt{\dfrac{h^2}{2meV}}

Put all the values,

\lambda=\sqrt{\dfrac{(6.63\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 8\times 10^3}}\\\\\lambda=1.37\times 10^{-11}\ m

So, the wavelength of the electrons is 1.37\times 10^{-11}\ m.
