Answer:

33.4°C .

Explanation:

mass of bullet, m = 15 g = 0.015 kg

velocity of bullet, v = 1502 m/s

mass of wax, M = 2.5 kg

Initial temperature of wax, T1 = 31°C

Let T2 be the final temperature of wax.

Specific heat of wax, c = 0.7 cal/g°C = 0.7 x 1000 x 4 J/kg°C = 2800 J/kg°C

The kinetic energy of the bullet is converted into heat energy which is used to heat the wax.

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}= M \times c \times \left ( T_{2}-T_{1} \right )

0.5\times 0.015\times 1502 \times 1502 = 2.5 \times 2800 \times\left ( T_{2}-31 \right )

2.42 =\left ( T_{2}-31 \right )

T_{2}=33.4^{o}C

thus, the final temperature of wax is 33.4°C .

The two cars collide at right angles in the intersection of two icy roads. Car A has a mass of 1965 kg and car B has a mass of 1
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

U2 = 47.38m/s = initial velocity of B before impact

Explanation:

An example of the diagram is shown in the attached file because of missing angle of direction in the question

Mass A, B are mass of cars

A = 1965

B =1245

U1 = initial velocity of A = 52km/hr

U2 = initial velocity of B

V = common final velocity of two cars

BU2 = (A + B)*V sin ¤ ...eq1 y plane

AU1 = (A + B) *V cos ¤ ....equ 2plane

From equ 2

V = AU1/(A + B)*cos ¤

Substitute V into equation 1

We have

U2 = (AU1/B)tan ¤ where ¤ = angle of direction which is taken to be 30°

Substitute all parameters to get

U2 = (1965/1245)*52 * tan 30°

U2 = 47.38m/s

A circular loop of wire has radius of 9.50 cmcm. A sinusoidal electromagnetic plane wave traveling in air passes through the loo
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The induced emf  is  \epsilon  = 0.1041 \  V  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  radius of the circular loop is  r =  9.50 \ cm  =  0.095 \ m

     The  intensity of the wave is  I  =  0.0215 \ W/m^2

      The wavelength is  \lambda =  6.90\ m

Generally the intensity is mathematically represented as

         I  =  \frac{ c *  B^2  }{ 2 * \mu_o  }

Here  \mu_o is the permeability of free space with value  

         \mu_o  =  4 \pi *10^{-7} N/A^2

B is the magnetic field which can be mathematically represented from the equation as

          B  =  \sqrt{ \frac{ 2 *  \mu_o  *  I  }{ c} }

substituting values

          B  =  \sqrt{ \frac{ 2 *  4\pi *10^{-7} *   0.0215  }{ 3.0*10^{8}} }

          B  =  1.342 *10^{-8} \  T

The  area is mathematically represented as

       A =  \pi r^2

substituting values

       A =  3.142 *   (0.095)^2

       A = 0.0284

The angular velocity is mathematically represented as

        w =  2 *  \pi  *  \frac{c}{\lambda }

substituting values          

       w =  2 *  3.142   *  \frac{3.0*10^{8}}{ 6.90 }  

        w =  2.732 *10^{8} rad  \ s^{-1}  

Generally the induced emf is mathematically represented as

        \epsilon  =  N *  B  *  A  *  w * sin (wt )

At maximum induced emf  sin (wt)  =  1

    So

         \epsilon  =  N *  B  *  A  *  w

substituting values

         \epsilon  = 1  *    1.342 *10^{-8}   *  0.0284  *2.732 *10^{8}  

         \epsilon  = 0.1041 \  V

What is the direction of friction if a ball is rolling on the ground?
morpeh [17]
The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.
