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.

Which explains upwelling in the oceans?
Leokris [45]

Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”

Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.

Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity.  Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.

The terminating pin strikes the preliminary, making it detonate. The flash from the groundwork touches off the black powder. Gas changed over from the consuming powder quickly extends in the cartridge. ... The shot's speed and getting away from gases produce a "blast."

a parent swings a 18.5 kg child in a circle of radius 1.05m, making 5 revolutions in 13.4s. what centripetal acceleration does t
Zolol [24]

Answer: 0.146 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The <u>centripetal acceleration</u> a_{c} of an object moving in a uniform circular path is given by the following equation:

a_{c}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}  (1)

Where:

V is the tangential velocity

r=1.05 m is the radius of the circle

On the other hand, the tangential velocity  is expressed as:

V=\omega r (2)

Where \omega is the angular velocity, which can be found knowing the child makes 5 revolutions in 13.4s:

\omega=\frac{5 rev}{13.4 s}=0.37 rev/s (3)

Substituting (3) in (2):

V=(0.37 rev/s)(1.05 m) (4)

V=0.39 m/s (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

a_{c}=\frac{(0.39 m/s)^{2}}{1.05 m}  (6)

Finally:

a_{c}=0.146 m/s^{2}
