A 27-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 640 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit

y 500 m/s. Knowing that the bullet leaves a 50-mm scratch on the surface of the plate and assuming that it has an average speed of 600 m/s while in contact with the plate, determine the magnitude and direction of the impulsive force exerted by the plate on the bullet.

Answer:

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

Explanation:

To attempt this question, we use the formula for the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

I = F t = Δp

Next, we try to find the time that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), so we say

v = d / t

t = d / v

Given that

m = 26 g = 26 10⁻³ kg

d = 50 mm = 50 10⁻³ m

t = d/v

t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

F t = m v - m v₀

This is so, because the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

F = m (v-vo) / t

F = 26*10⁻³ (-500 - 640) / 8.33*10⁻⁵

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

The negative sign is as a result of the force exerted against the bullet

The least count of stopwatch is 0.2s.The time of 20 oscillations of a pendulum was measured to be 25s.Find the percentage error
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

0.8%

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of oscillations; n = 20

Time taken; t = 25 s

Formula for period of oscillation;

T = t/n = 25/20 = 1.25 s

We are told that the least count is 0.2 s. Thus, error is; ΔT = 0.2 s

percentage error in the measurement of time is given by;

(0.2/(20 × 1.25)) × 100% = 0.8%

How do terrestrial and giant planets differ? List as many ways as you can think of.
Leni [432]

Answer: The differences between terrestrial planets and the giant planets are s follows-

  1. The inner planets namely Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the terrestrial planets, whereas the outer planets namely Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are known as the outer planets.
  2. Inner planets are composed mainly of silicate materials as well as some metals, whereas the giant planets are comprised of water (in different states) and gases such as Hydrogen and Helium.
  3. The density of the inner planets are more in comparison to the outer planets, where earth has the highest of about 5.5 gm/cm³ and Saturn has the lowest of about 0.7 gm/cm³.
  4. Due to the location of the inner planets near to the sun, they have high boiling point, whereas outer planets are much far from the sun so they have a low boiling point.

Which of the following is not an example of a chemical reaction? Rust, Photosynthesis, Melting Ice, Heat from Fire?
FinnZ [79.3K]
Rust, photosynthesis, and heat from fire are all chemical reactions <span>because </span>new substances are formed and the chemical formula is changed. By doing this, bonds are broken and formed in the making of the new substance. Melting ice is physical change the molecules are still water molecules, it just changed physical form.

Two protons are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements must be true abo
ycow [4]

Answer:

(A)

Explanation:

We know , electric potential energy between two charge particles of charges "q" and "Q" respectively is given by kqQ/r where r is the distance between them.

Since the two charged particles are moving apart, the distance between them (r) increases and thus electrical potential energy decreases.
