Answer: The force needed is 140.22 Newtons.

Explanation:

The key assumption in this problem is that the acceleration is constant along the path of the barrel bringing the pellet from velocity 0 to 155 m/s. This means the velocity is linearly increasing in time.

The force exerted on the pellet is

F = m a

In order to calculate the acceleration, given the displacement d,  

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\implies a=\frac{2d}{t^2}

we will need to determine the time t it took for the pellet to make the distance through the barrel of 0.6m. That time can be determined using the average velocity of the pellet while traveling through the barrel. Since the velocity is a linear function of time, as mentioned above, the average is easy to calculate as:

\overline{v}=\frac{1}{2}(v_{end}-v_{start})=\frac{1}{2}(155-0)\frac{m}{s}=77.5\frac{m}{s}

This value can be used to determine the time for the pellet through the barrel:

t = \frac{d}{\overline{v}}=\frac{0.6m}{77.5\frac{m}{s}}\approx0.00774s

Finally, we can use the above to calculate the force:

F = ma = m\frac{2d}{t^2} = 0.007kg\cdot \frac{2\cdot 0.6 m}{0.00774^2 s^2}\approx 140.22N

How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The Gravitational Force is reduced 4 times

Explanation:

The equation of Gravitational force follows:

F = (G*m1*m2)/r^2

Assume that G*m1*m2 = 1 and r = 1:

F = 1/1^2 = 1 N

Multiply the radius by 2

F = 1/2^2 = 1/4 N

So doubling the distance reduces the force 4 times.

Marc and Linh stretch out a long spring on the classroom floor. Marc holds one end of the spring still. Linh creates waves in th
Soloha48 [4]

The speed of the wave created by Linh in the spring by moving the other end right and left with a frequency of 2 Hz is 1m/s.

<h3>How to calculate speed of a wave?</h3>

The speed of a wave can be calculated by using the following formula:

Speed = Wavelength x Frequency

According to this question, Linh creates waves in the spring by moving the other end right and left with a frequency of 2 Hz. If wave crests are 0.5 m apart, the speed can be calculated as follows:

speed = 2Hz × 0.5m

speed = 1m/s

Therefore, the speed of the wave created by Linh in the spring by moving the other end right and left with a frequency of 2 Hz is 1m/s.
