Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.
the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have
11.05 = 3.5 * a
acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 = 3.16 m /s^-2
Answer:
F = 2.6692 x 10⁻⁹ N
Explanation:
Given,
The mass of the rock, m = 10 kg
The mass of the boulder, M = 100 kg
The distance between them, d = 5 m
The gravitational force between the two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. It is given by the formula
<em> F = GMm/d² newton</em>
Where,
G - Universal gravitational constant
Substituting the given values,
F = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ x 100 x 10 / 5²
F = 2.6692 X 10⁻⁹ N
Hence, the force between the two bodies is, F = 2.6692 X 10⁻⁹ N
There are different options here but all of them work by approximating and assuming.
i) that the boulder is above ground.
ii) that the bottom surface of the boulder is known.
iii) the shape of the boulder is taken into account.
The most accurate way is measuring it by displacement method but the boulder is immovable hence the volume can be calculated by measuring the boulder or a waterproof box to be built around the boulder and calculate the volume occupied by boulder.
All the above methods are estimating methods.
*Another way to find the density is through specific gravity.
S.G = <u>Density</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>object</u>
Density of water
If the material that makes the boulder is known that is if it's stone or a mineral then the specific gravity can be found.
If the boulder is purely rock then S.G lies between 3 - 3.5 and the density of water is known thus the density of the boulder can be found without moving the boulder.
This is what I think after correction and allthe best!
-- As far as we know, the forces on the wheelbarrow are balanced.
-- That tells us that the net force on the wheelbarrow is zero, just
as if there were no forces acting on it at all.
-- That tells us that the wheelbarrow's acceleration is zero ... its
speed and direction of motion are not changing.
-- That tells us that the wheelbarrow is moving in a straight line
at a constant speed. It's very possible that relative to us, the speed
may be zero, but we can't tell that from the given information.
