Answer:

\Delta T=\frac{v_{i}^{2}}{4c}

Explanation:

Let the mass of bullet is m, initial velocity of bullet is vi and c be the specific heat of the bullet.

Kinetic energy, K = 1/2 mvi^2

According to the question, 50% of the kinetic energy is equal to the heat energy absorbed by the bullet.

50% of K = mass of bullet x specific heat x rise in temperature

1/4 mvi^2 = m x c x ΔT

\Delta T=\frac{v_{i}^{2}}{4c}

A small 0.14 kg metal ball is tied to a very light (essentially massless) string that is 0.9 m long. The string is attached to t
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a) v=2.743m/s

b) a_c = 8.363m/s^2

c) T=2.543N

Explanation:

First, calculate the height of the ball at the starting point:

y' = 0.9cos(55)

y' = 0.516

At this point, just in the moment the ball is released, all the energy of the system is potencial gravitational energy. When it is at the bottom all the potencial energy is transformed into kinetic energy:

E_p=E_k\\mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}

Solving for v:

v=\sqrt{2gh}

if h is the height loss: (l-y')

v=2.743m/s

The centripetal acceleration is the acceleration caused by the tension force exercised by the string, and is pointing outside of the trayectory path (at the lowest point, directly dawn):

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

a_c = 8.363m/s^2

To calculate tension, just make the free body diagram of forces in the ball, noticing the existence of the centripetal acceleration:

\sum{F_y}=ma_c=T-W\\T=ma_c+W\\T=m(a_c+g)\\T=0.14(8.363+9.8)\\T=2.543N

How far does the moon move away from earth every year?
Oxana [17]
The moon is moving away from Earth at a rate of approximately 3.78 cm per year.
This migration of the Moon from the Earth is mainly due to the action of the Earth tides. It can be explained as follows:
- the Moon exerts a gravitational force on the Earth, which is stronger at the Equator (since the Equator is closer to the Moon), creating the tides
- However, the Earth rotates faster on its axis (one rotation every 24 hours) than the Moon (one rotation every 27 days), therefore the tidal bulge on Earth tries to pull the Moon "ahead" in its orbit. As a result, the Moon tends to sped up.
<span>- As opposite reaction, the Earth tends to slow down in its rotation, with a loss of angular momentum. Since the angular momentum must be conserved, the radius of the orbit of the Moon becomes larger, and this explains why the Moon is moving away from the Earth.</span>

1.Are BEVs or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles a more promising transportation technology for the future?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1. Yes, BEVs or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are a more promising transportation technology for the future.

2. Yes, car companies should be require to produce electric cars.

Explanation:

  • BEV stands for battery electric vehicle which is a type of electric vehicle. These vehicle and hydrogen fuel vehicles are a promising transportation technology for future as traditional vehicles along with other factors have polluted the earth so much that now we have to minimize the carbon footprint. The natural resources of fuel are also getting scare. So, these batteries assisted and eco-friendly are the need of the present and are vital in playing a important role in transportation in future.
  • Car companies should be require to produce electric cars as some companies like Tesla has already their electric car in the market lately. The countries in the scandinavian region have adopted the policy to promote and use this vehicles so company come forward to provide eco-friendly and price competitive vehicles so everyone can take the advantage.
