A parachute is a device used to slow down an object that is falling towards the ground. without a parachute the gravity is more than air resistance. But, as the parachute opens, the air resistance increases.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is 23437500 newtons.

Explanation:

Let suppose that shells are not experiencing any effect from non-conservative forces (i.e. friction, air viscosity) and changes in gravitational potential energy are negligible. The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel can be estimated by Work-Energy Theorem, represented by the following formula:

F\cdot \Delta s = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}) (1)

Where:

F - Explosive force, measured in newtons.

\Delta s - Barrel length, measured in meters.

m - Mass of the shell, measured in kilograms.

v_{o}, v_{f} - Initial and final speeds of the shell, measured in meters per second.

If we know that m = 1250\,kg, v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{f} = 750\,\frac{m}{s} and \Delta s = 15\,m, then the explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is:

F = \frac{m\cdot (v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2})}{2\cdot \Delta s}

F = \frac{(1250\,kg)\cdot \left[\left(750\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right]}{2\cdot (15\,m)}

F = 23437500\,N

The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is 23437500 newtons.

<span>If you think about it, changing the scale to which something is measured does not affect the repeatability of the measurement. For instance, if you have a meter stick which was labeled incorrectly, that doesn't affect the fact that every measurement you take of a certain fixed distance will still be the same. Precision does not equal accuracy.</span>

A block of mass M slides down a frictionless plane inclined at an angle (theta) with the horizontal. The normal reaction force e
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)

Explanation:

See attached for a sketch.

From the attachment.

.

N = normal reaction force on block

W = weight of the block

theta = angle of the inclined plane to the horizontal

From the sketch, we can see that

N is equal in magnitude but opposite direction to Wy

N = Wy

And

Wy = Wcos(theta)

Wx = Wsin(theta)

Then,

N = Wy = Wcos(theta)

But W = mass × acceleration due to gravity = mg

N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)
