Bullets spin when shot from a rifle or handgun. What causes this spinning?

Physics

Answer:

The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.

A uniform rod of mass 1.90 kg and length 2.00 m is capable of rotating about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicula
astraxan [27]

Complete Question:

A uniform rod of mass 1.90 kg and length 2.00 m is capable of rotating about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its length. A mass m1 = 5.40 kgis  attached to one end and a second mass m2 = 2.50 kg is attached to the other end of the rod. Treat the two masses as point particles.

(a) What is the moment of inertia of the system?

(b) If the rod rotates with an angular speed of 2.70 rad/s, how much kinetic energy does the system have?

(c) Now consider the rod to be of negligible mass. What is the moment of inertia of the rod and masses combined?

(d) If the rod is of negligible mass, what is the kinetic energy when the angular speed is 2.70 rad/s?

Answer:

a) 8.53 kg*m² b) 31.1 J c) 7.9 kg*m² d) 28.8 J

Explanation:

a) If we treat to the two masses as point particles, the rotational inertia of each mass will be the product of the mass times the square of the distance to the axis of rotation, which is exactly the half of the length of the rod.

As the mass has not negligible mass, we need to add the rotational inertia of the rod regarding an axis passing through its centre, and perpendicular to its length.

The total rotational inertia will be as follows:

I = M*L²/12 + m₁*r₁² + m₂*r₂²

⇒ I =( 1.9kg*(2.00)²m²/12) + 5.40 kg*(1.00)²m² + 2.50 kg*(1.00)m²

⇒ I =  8.53 kg*m²

b)  The rotational kinetic energy of the rigid body composed by the rod and  the point masses m₁ and m₂, can be expressed as follows:

Krot = 1/2*I*ω²

if ω= 2.70 rad/sec, and I = 8.53 kg*m², we can calculate Krot as follows:

Krot = 1/2*(8.53 kg*m²)*(2.70)²(rad/sec)²

⇒ Krot = 31.1 J

c) If the mass of the rod is negligible, we can remove its influence of the rotational inertia, as follows:

I = m₁*r₁² + m₂*r₂² = 5.40 kg*(1.00)²m² + 2.50 kg*(1.00)m²

I = 7.90 kg*m²

d) The new rotational kinetic energy will be as follows:

Krot = 1/2*I*ω² = 1/2*(7.9 kg*m²)*(2.70)²(rad/sec)²

Krot= 28.8 J

If a board with an area of 3m2 has a 12 N force exerted on it, what is the pressure on the board?
Cerrena [4.2K]
4 N/cm^2 is the answer. the way you get this is the formula for pressure is P=F/A. So you would plug in the numbers which would make the equation P=12/3 which you know equals 4. The units for pressure is N/cm^2 or N/m^2

I hope this helps
