Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

Pressure around scuba is

P = 10^5 Pa

1 Pa = 1 N/m²

Then

P = 10^5 N/m²

Descending height

h = 10m

Change in force per unit square centimetre

We know that,

Pressure = Force / Area

Then,

Force / Area is the required question we are finding

Then,

Force / Area = 10^5 N / m²

So, let convert the m² to cm²

100cm = 1m

(100cm)² = (1m)²

10⁴cm² = 1m²

Then,

Force / Area = 10^5 N/m² × 1m² / 10⁴cm²

Force / Area = 10 N/cm²

So, the force per unit square centimeters is 10.

Which four equations can be used to solve for acceleration

emmainna [20.7K]

The four equations for acceleration are obtained from the three equations of motion and from second law of motion.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. So the change in velocity with respect to time can be determined using the three equations of motions.

So from the first equation of motion, v = u + at , we can determine the value of acceleration if time taken, final and initial velocity is known. The equation can be re-written as $a = \frac{v-u}{t}$

Similarly, from the second equation of motion, s = ut + 1/2 at², we can determine the equation for acceleration as $a = 2*\frac{s-ut}{t^{2} }$

So this is second equation for acceleration.

Then from the third equation of motion, $v^{2}- u^{2} = 2* a *s$

the acceleration equation is determined as $a = \frac{v^{2}-u^{2} }{2s}$

In addition to these three equation, another equation is present to determine the acceleration with respect to force from the Newton's second law of motion. F = Mass × acceleration. From this, acceleration = Force/mass.

So, these are the four equations for acceleration.

A 9.00 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 1.20 kg wooden block resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic fr

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The initial speed of bullet is "164 m/s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

mass of bullet,

$m'=9.00 \ g$

or,

$=0.009 \ kg$

mass of wooden block,

$m=1.20 \ kg$

speed,

$s=0.390 \ m$

Coefficient of kinetic friction,

$\mu=0.20$

As we know,

The Kinematic equation is:

⇒ $v^2=u^2+2as$

then,

Initial velocity will be:

⇒ $u=v^2-2as$

$=v^2-2 \mu gs$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $u=\sqrt{0-2\times 0.20\times 9.8\times 0.390}$

$=\sqrt{-1.5288}$

$=1.23 \ m/s$

As we know,

The conservation of momentum is:

⇒ $mu=m'u'$

or,

⇒ Initial speed, $u'=\frac{mu}{m'}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{1.20\times 1.23}{0.009}$

⇒ $=\frac{1.476}{0.009}$

⇒ $=164 \ m/s$
