Answer:

Since energy can be measured as work, we can write energy = force x distance. Thus SI derived unit of energy has the units of newtons x meter or kg m2/s2.

To determine an athlete's body fat, she is weighed first in air and then again while she's completely underwater. it is found th

il63 [147K]

The difference in weight is due to the displacement of water (the buoyancy of water is acting on the athlete thus giving her smaller weight).<span>

The amount of weight displaced or the amount of buoyant force is: </span>

Fb = 690 N - 48 N

Fb = 642 N

From newtons law, F = m*g. Using this formula, we can calculate for the mass of water displaced:

m of water displaced = 642N / 9.8m/s^2

m of water displaced = 65.5 kg

Assuming a water density of 1 kg/L, and using the formula volume = mass/density:

V of water displaced = 65.5kg / 1kg/L = 65.5 L

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of athlete. Therefore:

V of athlete = 65.5 L

The mass of athlete can also be calculated using, F = m*g

m of athlete = 690 N/ 9.8m/s^2

m of athlete = 70.41 kg

Knowing the volume and mass of athlete, her average density is therefore:

average density = 70.41 kg / 65.5 L

<span>average density = 1.07 kg/L = 1.07 g/mL</span>

A 30 g bullet moving a horizontal velocity of 500 m/s comes to a stop 12 cm within a solid wall. (a) what is the change in the b

Sidana [21]

M = 30 g = 0.03 kg, the mass of the bullet
v = 500 m/s, the velocity of the bullet

By definition, the KE (kinetic energy) of the bullet is
KE = (1/2)*m*v²
= 0.5*(0.03 kg)*(500 m/s)² = 3750 J
Because the bullet comes to rest, the change in mechanical energy is 3750 J.

The work done by the wall to stop the bullet in 12 cm is
W = (1/2)*(F N)*(0.12 m) = 0.06F J

If energy losses in the form of heat or sound waves are ignored, then
W = KE.
That is,
0.06F = 3750
F = 62500 N = 62.5 kN

Answer:
(a) 3750 J
(b) 62.5 kN
