Answer:

30 m

Explanation:

Let's list out the known variables that we are given in this question.

  • v₀ = 15 m/s
  • v = 0 m/s
  • t = 4 s

We are trying to solve for displacement in the x-direction.

  • Δx = ?

Find which constant acceleration equation contains all 4 of these variables.

  • \displaystyle \triangle x = \Big (\frac{v+v_0}{2} \Big ) t

Plug the known values into the equation and solve for delta x.

  • \displaystyle \triangle x = \Big (\frac{0+15}{2} \Big ) \cdot 4
  • \displaystyle \triangle x = \Big (\frac{15}{2} \Big ) \cdot 4  
  • \displaystyle \triangle x =\frac{60}{2}
  • \triangle x = 30

The car goes 30 m after the driver begins to brake.

Q: Which direction are the force vectors pointing for a bullet fired from a gun. Assume that the bullet is traveling to the righ
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

D: Left, Down

Explanation:

Assuming that the bullet has already left the gun, there are only two forces acting on the bullet now, during its motion:

- The force of gravity (the weight of the object), acting downward

- The air resistance acting against the direction of motion (so, if the bullet is moving right, the air resistance acts to the left)

As a result of these two forces:

- The bullet will accelerates downward in the vertical direction, due to the force of gravity

- The bullet will decelerated (slow down) along the horizontal direction, due to the air resistance that acts against the direction of motion of the bullet

So, the bullet will acquire a parabolic path.

Therefore, the correct answer is

D: Left, Down

A rifle bullet with a mass of 11.5 g traveling toward the right at 251 m/s strikes a large bag of sand and penetrates it to a de
BabaBlast [244]

To look for the acceleration, it will come from:

vf^2=v0^2+2ad 
where:
vf = final velocity = 0 
v0 = initial velocity =251 m/s 
a = acceleration 
d= distance traveled = 0.237 m 

0=251^2+2a(0.237 ) 
a= -251 ^2 / (2*0.237) =-132 913.502 m/s/s 

we find the force from: 

F = ma = 0.0115kg*(-1.32x10^5m/s/s) = -1518 N 

the negative sign shows that the force is in the direction contradictory the bullet's motion

EC_1 + EP_1 = EC2 + EP_2

EC_2 = 0

EC_2 = EP_1 - EP_2

EC_2 = mg(H_1 - H_2) = 0.20 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * (3.25 m - 1.5m) = 3.43 J
