A 2.9 gram bullet is shot into a tree stump. It enters at a velocity of 304 m/sec and comes to rest after having penetrated the

stump in a straight line. It takes 0.00043 sec to come to a stop after striking the stump. What was the force on the bullet during impact?

First convert grams to kilograms (so that the answer will be N) 1000g=1kg so 2.9g=.0029kg.

To solve for force we use the equation F=ma, so we need to find acceleration (a) .Next use the equation a=Δv/Δt. Δt is given as being .00043 seconds. Δv is the difference in velocities - final minus initial (this is important to discern the direction of the force vector); 0-304=-304. Now plugin and solve for a. The result is -706976.7442 m/s², or -710000 m/s² if you are using significant figures. 

Now use the values for mass and acceleration to solve for force. F=ma=-2050.232558N or F=- 2100N (if you are using significant figures).

Organ pipe A, with both ends open, has a fundamental frequency of 360 Hz. The third harmonic of organ pipe B, with one end open,
iragen [17]

Answer:

The length of the pipe A is L_A = 0.4763 m &  the length of the pipe B is L_B = 0.357 m

Explanation:

Fundamental  frequency  = 360 Hz

Velocity = 343 \frac{m}{s}

(a). Length of the pipe is given by

L = \frac{V}{2 f}

Put all the values in above equation we get

L = \frac{343}{2 (360)}

L_A = 0.4763 m

(b). Given that

The third harmonic of organ pipe B = the second harmonic of pipe A

\frac{n_B}{4L_B} = \frac{n_A}{2L_A}

Thus

L_B = \frac{2 n_{B} L_A }{4n_A}

Put all the values in above formula we get

L_B = \frac{2 (3)(0.4763) }{4(2)}

L_B = 0.357 m

Therefore the length of the pipe A is L_A = 0.4763 m &  the length of the pipe B is L_B = 0.357 m

What would be the best method for a scientist to use in order to obtain a precise measurement of star’s distance from Earth?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

D.). Radial Method - is the stars, and planets, that orbit around a common center of mass, The star will move towards, and away from earth. Light is shifted, as the star motion changes.

C.). Redshift Method - is described as, how light shifts toward shorter, or longer wavelengths; as objects in space, move closer, or farther away from us. If the star is moving away from us, The light it gets stretched a little, which makes it appear more red than it really is.

B.). Blueshift Method - is the opposite of redshift, its' a decrease in wavelength, due to its' motions towards Earth. If a star is moving closer to us, the light it gives off gets squeezed together, which makes it appear bluer than it actually is.

A.). Triangulation Method - is a method used to determine distances through parallax; The distance equals baseline divides by parallax. It is used to calculate stellar distances by using Earth's orbital diameter, as baseline, the angular displacement of a star is measured.

Therefore, Your answer: Letter Choice (A), Triangulation Method.

Hope that helps, (Answer: Letter Choice (A), Triangulation Method is used to obtain a precise measurement of a star's distance from Earth.).

Have a great day!!!!! : )

A 0.0250-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 550 m/s in a 3.00-kg rifle. The pain of the rifles kick is muchworse i
UNO [17]

(a) -4.6 m/s

We can solve this part by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, the total momentum of the bullet-rifle system before and after the shot must be equal.

Before the shot, the total momentum is zero:

p = 0 (1)

After the shot, the total momentum is:

p=mv+MV (2)

where

m = 0.0250 kg is the mass of the bullet

v = 550 m/s is the velocity of the bullet

M = 3.00 kg is the mass of the rifle

V is the recoil velocity of the rifle

Since momentum is conserved, (1) = (2), so we can solve for V:

0=mv+MV\\V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.0250)(550)}{3.00}=-4.6 m/s

And the negative sign means the rifle will move backward.

(b) 31.7 J

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

The rifle has a mass of

M = 3.00 kg

And a final speed of (speed = magnitude of velocity)

V = 4.6 m/s

Therefore, the kinetic energy it has gained is

K=\frac{1}{2}(3.00)(4.6)^2=31.7 J

(c) -0.5 m/s

In this case, we just need to repeat the problem as in part (a), applying the law of conservation of momentum:

0=mv+MV

where in this case, the mass of the rifle is

M = 28.0 kg

while the other data are unchanged:

m = 0.0250 kg is the mass of the bullet

v = 550 m/s is the velocity of the bullet

Solving for V, we find the new recoil velocity of the rifle:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.0250)(550)}{28.0}=-0.5 m/s

(d) 3.5 J

As in part b), we can apply the equation of the kinetic energy:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where in this case, we have:

M = 28.0 kg is the mass of the rifle+shoulder

V = 0.5 m/s is the recoil speed of the rifle+shoulder

Substituting into the equation,

K=\frac{1}{2}(28.0)(0.5)^2=3.5 J

(e) Player's momentum is larger

The momentum of the player is

p'=MV

where

M = 110 kg is the mass of the player

V = 8.00 m/s is his velocity

Substituting,

p'=(110)(8.00)=880 kg m/s

The momentum of the ball is

p=mv

where

m = 0.410 kg is the mass of the ball

v = 25.0 m/s is the velocity of the ball

Substituting,

p=(0.410)(25.0)=10.3 kg m/s

The player's momentum is much larger than the ball's momentum. This problem becomes similar to the previous one in the moment  when the player catches the ball: at that point, in fact, the velocity of the player-ball system will change such that their total combined momentum will be equal to the total momentum of the two individual objects before the catch.
