Answer:

The equation that will express this result os

h = 0 = vy t - 1/2 g t^2    so the net height traveled by the bullet is zero

vy t = 1/2 g t^2

vy = 1/2 g t

vy = 1/2 * 9.8 * t       you could use -9.8 to indicate vy and g are in different directions

tx = sx/ vx  = 46.4 / 471 = .0985 sec    time to travel up and down to original height

th = .0985 / 2 = .0493 sec        time to reach maximum height

vy = g ty = 9.8 * .0493 sec = .483 m/s    initial vertical speed

Sy = vy t - 1/2 g t^2 = .483 * .0493 - 1.2 9.8 (.0493^^2)

Sy = .0238 - 4.9 ( .0493)^2 = .0238 - .0119 = .0119 m

Height to which bullet will rise - if the gun is aimed at this height then in .0985 seconds the bullet will fall to zero height

Check:    .483 / 9.8 =  .0493   time to reach zero vertical speed

total travel time = 2 * .0493 = .0986 sec

471 * .0986 = 46.4 m   total distance traveled by bullet

It takes 500 J of work to compress a spring 10 cm. What is the force constant of the spring? (b) When a 3.0 kg block is pushed a
NARA [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Energy stored in spring = 1/2 k x² = .5 x k 0.1²

500 = 5 x 10⁻³ k ,

k = (500/5) x 10³ = 10⁵ N/m

b )

k = 4.5 x 10¹ = 45 N/m

Stored energy = 1/2 k x² = .5 x 45 x 8² x 10⁻⁴ =1440 x 10⁻⁴ J

This energy gets dissipated by friction .

work done by friction = μ mg d

d is the distance traveled under friction

so 1440 x 10⁻⁴ = μ x 3 x 9.8 x 2

μ = 245 x 10⁻⁴  or 0.00245 which appears to be very small. .

Como surgiu a capoeira?
xz_007 [3.2K]
La capoeira se desarrolló en Brasil, derivada de las tradiciones traídas a través del Océano Atlántico por africanos esclavizados y alimentadas por el ardiente deseo de libertad. Pronto se practicó ampliamente en las plantaciones como un medio para romper los lazos de la esclavitud, tanto física como mentalmente.

The equation of a progressive
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Amplitude = 0.02m

Frequency = 640 Hz

Wavelength, λ = 0.5m

v = 320 m/s

Explanation:

Given the wave equation :

y=0.02 sin2π/0.5 (320t - x) where x and y are in

meters and t is in second

Comparing the above relation with the general wave equation :

y(x, t) = Asin2π/λ(wt - kx)

The amplitude, A = 0.02

From the equation :

2π/0.5 = 2π/λ

λ = 0.5 m

320t = vt

Hence, v = 320 m/s

Recall :

v = fλ

320 = f * 0.5

f = 320 / 0.5

f = 640 Hz

Which of the following modifications to a solenoid would be most likely to decrease the strength of its magnetic field?
Goryan [66]

By reading the fine details of the question, carefully and analytically, I have determined that there's no list of modifications to choose from.

The strength of the magnetic field of a solenoid depends on the electric current in its coil windings, the number of wire turns in its coil windings, and the material in its core.

In order to <em>DE</em>crease the strength of its magnetic field, any one or more of these steps could do the job:

-- DEcrease the electric current in its coil windings.  This can be accomplished by decreasing the voltage of the power source that energizes the coil, and/or increasing the resistance of the wire in the coil.

-- DEcrease the number of wire turns in the coil.

-- If the solenoid has anything in its core, change the core to something with a lower magnetic 'permeability'.  An Iron core will produce the greatest magnetic field strength.  Air, vacuum, or NO core will produce the lowest magnetic field strength.

What distance separates Earth and the Sun? A 300,000 km per second B Eight light-minutes C 149 million light-seconds D One light
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

B Eight light-minutes

Explanation:

In the case when the distance separated earth and the sun so here we orbit the sun for a 150 million km distance and the light moves would be 300,000 kilometers per second

Now divide this

= 150 million ÷ 300,000 kilometers per second

= 500 seconds

This 500 seconds represent 8 minutes and 20 seconds

Hence, option B is correct
