A particular gun (10kg) is able to fire 20 gram bullets at a speed of 350 m/s. From this information, calculate roughly how much

energy contained in the powder in the bullet (Hint: you will need to calculate the recoil speed of the gun.) A. 2455 J B. 620 J C. Cannot be determined. D. 1230 J

Answer:

The answer is

D. 1230j

Explanation:

When a bullet is shot out of a gun the person firing experiences a backward impact, which is the recoil force, while the force propelling the bullet out of the gun is the propulsive force

given data

Mass of gun M=10kg

Mass of bullet m=20g----kg=20/1000 =0.02kg

Propulsive speed of bullet = 350m/s

Hence the moment of the bullet will be equal and opposite to that of the gun

mv=MV

where V is the recoil velocity which we are solving for

V=mv/M

V=0.02*350/10

V=7/10

V=0.7m/s

The energy contained in the bullet can be gotten using

KE=1/2m(v-V)²

KE=1/2*0.02(350-0.7)²

KE=1/2*0.02(349.3)²

KE=1/2*0.02*122010.49

KE=1/2*2440.20

KE=1220.1J

roughly the energy is 1230J

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to a light bulb? the electrical energy put into the light bulb equals the light
andrew-mc [135]
<span>The law of conservation of energy applies to a light bulb because the energy is being transformed into light and the light bulb is acting as a catalyst. The light bulb itself is not a form of energy, however when in combination with the electrical outlet to the bulb the electricity heats up the metal interior forming it into light. according to the law of conservation energy cannot be created or destroyed, but instead is formed into different kinds of energy. In relation to a light bulb electrical currents are forming heat energy by heating up the metal interior, then the bulb or glass around it allows to radiate light.</span>

A record player turntable initially rotating at 3313 rev/min is braked to a stop at a constant rotational acceleration. The turn
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

(A) It will take 22 sec to come in rest

(b) Work done for coming in rest will be 0.2131 J              

Explanation:

We have given the player turntable initially rotating at speed of 33\frac{1}{3}rpm=33.333rpm=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 33.333}{60}=3.49rad/sec

Now speed is reduced by 75 %

So final speed \frac{3.49\times 75}{100}=2.6175rad/sec

Time t = 5.5 sec

From first equation of motion we know that '

\alpha =\frac{\omega -\omega _0}{t}=\frac{2.6175-3.49}{4}=-0.158rad/sec^2

(a) Now final velocity \omega =0rad/sec

So time t to come in rest  t=\frac{0-3.49}{-0.158}=22sec

(b) The work done in coming rest is given by

\frac{1}{2}I\left ( \omega ^2-\omega _0^2 \right )=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.035\times (0^2-3.49^2)=0.2131J

1 kg air in a piston-cylinder assembly is heated at constant pressure, resulting the expansion of the volume. the initial temper
rewona [7]

Answer:

57,42 KJ

Explanation:

By a isobaric proces, the expresion for the works in the jpg adjunt. Then:

W = Pa(Vb - Va) = Pa*Vb - Pa*Va ---(1)

By the ideal gases law: PV=RTn

Then, in (1): (remember Pa = Pb)

W =  R*Tb*n - R*T*an = R*n*(Tb - Ta) --- (2)

Since we have 1 Kg air: How much is this in moles?

From bibliography: 28.96 g/mol

Then, in 1 Kg (1000 g) there are:

n =  34,53 mol

Finally, in (2):

W =  (8,3144 J/K.mol)*(34,53 mol)*(500K - 300K) = 51 419,9 J ≈ 57,42 KJ
