Answer:

The bullet will rise 320 meters above the point of projection.

Explanation:

Assuming that air friction is negligent we can use the kinematic equation:

$v_{2} ^2=v_{1} ^2+2(-a)d\\0\frac{m^2}{s^2} =6400\frac{m^2}{s^2} +2(-10\frac{m}{s^2} )d\\-6400\frac{m^2}{s^2} =(-20\frac{m}{s^2}) d\\320m=d$

*acceleration is negative (-a) as it is acting in the opposite direction of the motion of the bullet.*

Which will result in a greater increase in kinetic energy, doubling the velocity or doubling the mass.

Naddik [55]

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. It is calculated by 1/2mv², where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity.
Therefore, kinetic energy is dependent on both mass of the body and the velocity. An increase in mass increases the kinetic energy, an increase in velocity also increases kinetic energy of the body. Thus, doubling the mass and doubling the velocity will both increase the kinetic energy of the body.

A gas exerts less pressure when it has a

Vika [28.1K]

The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces.The more particles that hit the walls, the higher the pressure.

A lamp hangs from the ceiling at a height of 2.6 m. The lamp has a mass of 3.8 kg. The screws holding the lamp break, and it fal

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m

mass of the lamp = 3.8kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.

Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height

Gravitational potential energy = 3.8*2.6*9.81

Gravitational potential energy = 96.923 Joules

b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

m = mass of the body (in kg)

v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)

To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion $v^{2} = u^{2}+2gh$

$v^{2} = 0^{2}+2(9.81)(2.6) \\v^{2} = 51.012\\v =\sqrt{51.012}\\ v = 7.14m/s$

Since mass = 3.8kg

$K.E = 1/2 * 3.8 *7.14^{2}\\ K.E = 96.86Joules$

c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s

a waves amplitude is 0.5 meters. If the amplitude is increased to 1 metro, how does its energy change

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The energy becomes 4 times greater.

Explanation:

We know that the energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude

E ∝ Amplitude^2

Since the original amplitude = 0.5 m

and the new amplitude becomes = 1 m

We are doubling the amplitude. This means that the new energy will be affected by a factor of 4

E_new ∝ (2*Amplitude)^2 =

E_new ∝ 4*(Amplitude)^2

E_new = 4*E
