M = 30 g = 0.03 kg, the mass of the bullet
v = 500 m/s, the velocity of the bullet
By definition, the KE (kinetic energy) of the bullet is
KE = (1/2)*m*v²
= 0.5*(0.03 kg)*(500 m/s)² = 3750 J
Because the bullet comes to rest, the change in mechanical energy is 3750 J.
The work done by the wall to stop the bullet in 12 cm is
W = (1/2)*(F N)*(0.12 m) = 0.06F J
If energy losses in the form of heat or sound waves are ignored, then
W = KE.
That is,
0.06F = 3750
F = 62500 N = 62.5 kN
Answer:
(a) 3750 J
(b) 62.5 kN
Explanation:
At the top of the tree, the velocity of the pebble is purely horizontal so we can calculate it as
Two forces F<span>1 and </span>F<span>2 act on the screw eye. The resultant force </span>FR<span> has a magnitude of 125 lb and the coordinate direction angles shown in (Figure 1) . Determine the magnitude of </span>F<span>2. Determine the coordinate direction angle </span>α<span>2 of </span>F<span>2. Determine the coordinate direction angle </span>β<span>2 of </span>F<span>2. Determine the coordinate direction angle </span>γ<span>2 of </span>F<span>2.</span>
The trains take <u>57.4 s</u> to pass each other.
Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.
therefore,
The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,
If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.
The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.
Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,
Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for 
Express the time in seconds.
Thus, the trains cross each other in <u>57.4 s</u>.
