Answer:

Force, F=2.27\times 10^4\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bullet, m = 4.79 g = 0.00479 kg

Initial speed of the bullet, u = 642.3 m/s

Distance, d = 4.35 cm = 0.0435 m

To find,

The magnitude of force required to stop the bullet.

Solution,

The work energy theorem states that the work done is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Its expression is given by :

F.d=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

Finally, it stops, v = 0

F.d=-\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2)

F=\dfrac{-mu^2}{2d}

F=\dfrac{-0.00479\times (642.3)^2}{2\times 0.0435}

F = -22713.92 N

F=2.27\times 10^4\ N

So, the magnitude of the force that stops the bullet is 2.27\times 10^4\ N

The probability that a battery will last 10 hr or more is 0.8, and the probability that it will last 15 hr or more is 0.11. Give
podryga [215]
We are given with the data that says the probability that a battery will last 10 hr or more is 0.8 and the probability <span>that it will last 15 hr or more is 0.11. In this case, the probability that the battery lasts at least 10 hours and even 15 hrs more is 0.11 / 0.8 or equal to 13.75 percent.</span>

Why is it important for body cell to have twice and many chromosomes as sex cells?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Why sex cells only need half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body?  As gametes are produced, the number of chromosomes must be reduced by half. Why? The zygote must contain genetic information from the mother and from the father, so the gametes must contain half of the chromosomes found in normal body cells.
