What happens when velocity and acceleration are at right angles to each other

1 answer:

7 0

You get circular motion, where the acceleration is pointing towards the center of the circle, as long as they are constant, and not fluctuating.

Taya2010 [7]

Complete question:

A 3.53-g lead bullet traveling at 428 m/s strikes a target, converting its kinetic energy into thermal energy. Its initial temperature is 40.0°C. The specific heat is 128 J/(kg · °C), latent heat of fusion is 24.5 kJ/kg, and the melting point of lead is 327°C.

(a) Find the available kinetic energy of the bullet. J

(b) Find the heat required to melt the bullet. J

Answer:

Part (a) the available kinetic energy of the bullet is 323.32 J

Part (b) the heat required to melt the bullet is 216.17 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet = 3.53 g = 0.00353 kg

velocity of the bullet = 428 m/s

initial temperature of the bullet = 40.0°C

final temperature of the bullet = 327°C

specific heat capacity, c= 128 J/(kg · °C)

latent heat of fusion, Hf = 24.5 kJ/kg

Part (a) the available kinetic energy of the bullet. J

KE = ¹/₂ × mv²

KE = ¹/₂ × 0.00353 × 428²

= 323.32 J

Part (b) the heat required to melt the bullet. J

This is the thermal energy required to increase the temperature of the bullet and the heat energy required to melt the bullet.

Quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of the bullet:

Q = mcΔT

= 0.00353 × 128 × (327-40)

= 0.00353 × 128 × 287

= 129.68 J

Quantity of heat required to melt the bullet:

$Q = mH_f$

Q = 0.00353 × 24500

= 86.49 J

TOTAL energy required to melt the bullet = 129.68 J + 86.49 J

= 216.17 J

A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet. The planet has the same mass as Earth but has a

AVprozaik [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.

Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x $10^{24}$ Kg

Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?

By formula, g = $\frac{GM}{r^{2} }$

where g is the acceleration due to the gravity

G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x $10^{-11}$ $m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}$

M is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Substituting the values, we get

g = $\frac{(6.67 * 10^{-11}) (5.972 * 10^{24}) }{5733^{2} }$

g = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$

A car with two people traveling down the road has a mass of 100 kg and a velocity of 5 m/s. The car pulls over and picks up two

Andrej [43]

Answer:

New_momentum = 750 [kg.m/s]

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as

M = mass* velocity

Original momentum

M_old = 100 Kg * 5 m/s = 500 [kg.m/s]

If the car pulls over and picks up two people. The mass of the car is now 150 kg, but the velocity stays the same.

New momentum

M_new = 150 Kg * 5 m/s = 750 [kg.m/s]
