Answer:

The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is μk=0.441

Explanation:

Let

mb = bullet mass = 0.02 kg

vb = bullet speed  = 300 m/s

mw = mass of the wood block = 1 kg

d = distance covered by the block plus the bullet = 4 m

u = speed of the bullet plus the block

g = gravity = 9.8 m/s2

μk = coefficient of friction, variable unknown

We will use the following expression to calculate the coefficient of friction:

μk = \frac{(\frac{mb*vb}{mb+mw})^{2}  }{2*g*d}

Replacing known values:

μk=\frac{(\frac{(0.02kg)*(300m/s)}{0.02kg+1kg})^{2}  }{2*9.8m/s^{2}*4m }=0.441

The coefficient of friction is a dimensionless value

Approximately what core temperature is required before hydrogen fusion can begin in a star?
valkas [14]

Answer:

The temperature required is near about 3 million kelvin

Explanation:

The brilliance of the star results from the nuclear reaction that take place in the core of the star and radiate a huge amount of thermal energy resulting from the fusion of hydrogen into helium.

For this reaction to take place, the temperature of the star's core must be near about 3 million kelvin.

The hydrogen atoms collide and starts and the energy from the collision results in the heating of the gas cloud. As the temperature comes to near about 1.5\times 10^{7 {\circ}C, the nuclear fusion reaction takes place in the core of the gas cloud.

The huge amount of thermal energy from the nuclear reaction gives the gas cloud a brilliance resulting in a protostar.

A 1210 kg rollercoaster car is
ratelena [41]

Answer: 4.98 m/s

Explanation:

You solve these kinetic energy, potential energy problems by using the fact P.E.+ K.E. = a constant as long as friction is ignored.

PEi = 0 in this case

KEi = ½mVi² = PEf+KEf = mghf + ½mVf²

½1210*8.31² = 1210*9.8*2.26 + ½1210*Vf²

½1210*Vf² = ½1210*8.31² - 1210*9.8*2.26

Vf² = 8.31² - 2*9.8*2.26 = 4.98² so Vf = 4.98m/s

Answer:

Their number should increase

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that causes the ejection of electrons from that metal as light shined onto a metal surface. Only certain frequencies of light can cause the ejection of electrons. However, if the frequency of the incident light is too low then no electrons were ejected even if the intensity of the light was very high. If the frequency of the light was higher then electrons were able to be ejected from the metal surface even if the intensity of the light was very low.

According to the accepted wave theory, light of any frequency will cause electrons to be emitted. Kinetic energy emitted by the electrons depends upon the intensity of light.

According to the accepted wave theory, number of electrons being ejected by the metal should increase
