Answer:

All fraction of kinectic energy is lost to barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg

Explanation:

A ball of mass 0.50 kg is fired with velocity 160 m/s ...

The kinetic energy is given by 1/2mv²

Kinectic energy of the ball = 1/2 *0.5*160²

Kinectic energy = 1/4 *25600

Kinectic energy = 6400 joules.

If no energy is lost to fiction, and the ball sticks to a barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg with initial velocity zero, all kinetic energy is lost to the barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg.

Mary takes 6.0 seconds to run up a flight of stairs that is 102 meters long. If Mary's weight is 87 newtons, what power has Mary
fredd [130]

Answer: 1479watts

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy expended or work done in a specific time.

Mathematically,

Power = Workdone/time taken

Since work done is force × distance

Power = force × distance/time

Force = Mary's weight = 87N

Distance = height of the flight = 102meters

Time = 6.0seconds

Substituting in the formula we have;

Power = 87 × 102/6

Power = 1,479watts

Note that the time must be in seconds before usage. If its given in minutes, you will have to convert to seconds

When a nerve cell depolarizes, charge is transferred across the cell membrane, changing the potential difference. For a typical
laila [671]

Answer:

I = 18 x 10⁻⁹ A = 18 nA

Explanation:

The current is defined as the flow of charge per unit time. Therefore,

I = q/t

where,

I = Average Current passing through nerve cell

q = Total flow of charges through nerve cell

t = time period of flow of charges

Here, in our case:

I = ?

q = (9 pC)(1 x 10⁻¹² C/1 pC) = 9 x 10⁻¹² C

t = (0.5 ms)(1 x 10⁻³ s/1 ms) = 5 x 10⁻⁴ s

Therefore,

I = (9 x 10⁻¹² C)/(5 x 10⁻⁴ s)

<u>I = 18 x 10⁻⁹ A = 18 nA</u>

What is required to specify the position of an object?(๑•ᴗ•๑)♡​
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

To describe the motion of any object, we must be able to describe its position x. It reflects it at any particular time. In other words, we need to specify its position relative to the conventional frame of reference.

Calculate the number of moles in 100g of water​
dsp73

5.55 mol H2O

Explanation:

Water has a molar mass of 18.01528 g/mol. We can then calculate the number of moles of water as

100 g H20 × (1 mol H2O/18.01528 g H20)

= 5.55 mol H2O

A bullet whose mass is 30.2 g leaves a rifle with a muzzle velocity of 1,000 m/s. It strikes a block of wood (mass 5 kg), initia
AveGali [126]
This problem here is an example of inelastic collision where kinetic energy is not conserved but momentum is. We calculate as follows:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v3
v3 = m1v1 + m2v2  / m1 + m2
v3 = (30.2)(1000) + (5000)(0) / (30.2 + 5000)
v3 = 6.00 m/s
