It is well known that bullets and other missiles fired at Superman simply bounce off his chest. Suppose that a gangster sprays S

uperman's chest with 6.4 g bullets at the rate of 92 bullets/min, and the speed of each bullet is 400 m/s. Suppose too that the bullets rebound straight back with no change in speed. What is the magnitude of the average force on Superman's chest from the stream of bullets

Answer:

Magnitude of the average force = 7.85 N

Explanation:

Data given:

Mass of bullets, m = 6.4 g

Rate of bullets/min, r = 92 bullets/min

Speed of each bullet, v = 400 m/s

Change in momentum here, Δ B = Bf - Bi

where f is the final and i is the initial

Note that change in momentum = force X time

So, Δ B = m(vf - vi)

              = 2mv

             = 2 X 0.0064 kg X 400 m/s        (convert g to kg)

            = 5.12 kg.m/s (for one bullet)

        so for the 92 bullets = 92 X 5.12 kg.m/s

           = 471.04 kg.m/s

         The force = Δ B ÷ Δt

where t = time measured in 60 seconds

        =  471.04 kg.m/s ÷ 60 seconds

       = 7.85 N

A car accelerates from rest at 3 m/s for 6 seconds. The velocity of the car after 6 seconds is what ?
Artist 52 [7]

vf = vi + at
then solve for v

so
v = a(t)
so v = (3m/s^2)(6s)

so v = 18m/s

What pushes against gravity in: a main sequence star, a white dwarf, a neutron star, and a black hole? electron degeneracy, neut
Inga [223]

Answer:

heat pressure, electron degeneracy, neutron degeneracy, and nothing

Explanation:

Main Sequence Star: It is a star in which nuclear fusion is happening in the core of the star. Hydrogen molecules fuse together to generate Helium. This nuclear fusion generates outward gas pressure and radiation pressure which balances the inward gravity thus creating an equilibrium which keeps the stars in shape.

White dwarf: It is the end stage of a medium sized star like the Sun. Outer layers of the star are thrown in the form a shell/bubble leaving a small and dense core in the center called as white dwarf. This core consists of carbon and oxygen. Nuclear fusion doesn't occur in the core of white dwarfs. The inward gravity is balanced by the electron degeneracy pressure. Thus these stars will keep on radiating the remaining heat and will turn in to a black dwarf at the end.

Neutron Star: This is the end stage of a supermassive star (1-3 times the mass of the Sun). At the last stage of the life the core collapses. In these stars the inward gravity is so huge that the pressure overcomes the electron degeneracy pressure and crushes together the electron and proton to form neutron. The neutron then stops the collapse and balances the inward gravity.

Black Hole: This is the end stage of a hyper massive stars weighing more than 3 times the mass of the Sun. The inward gravitational force is so huge that even the neutrons are not able to stop the collapse the core. thus the mass of the star collapses into a very small area of immense gravity. There is nothing that can balance this inward gravity.
