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

The sound level at a distance of 2.30 m from a source is 115 dB. At what distance will the sound level have the following values
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

distance is 13 m for 100 dB

distance is 409 km for 10 dB

Explanation:

Given data

distance r = 2.30 m

source β = 115 dB

to find out

distance at sound level 100 dB and 10 dB

solution

first we calculate here power and intensity and with this power and intensity we will find distance

we know sound level  β  = 10 log(I/I_{0})        ......................a

put here value (I/I_{0}) = 10^−12 W/m² and  β = 115

115  = 10 log(I/10^−12)

so

I = 0.316228 W/m²

and we know power = intensity × 4π r²    ...............b

power = 0.316228 × 4π (2.30)²

power = 21.021604 W

we know at 100 dB intensity is 0.01 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 0.01 × 4π r²

so by solving r

r = 12.933855 m    = 13 m

distance is 13 m

and

at 10 dB intensity is 1 × 10^–11 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 1 × 10^–11 × 4π r²

by solving r we get

r = 409004.412465 m = 409 km

Why is the perfect mechine is not possible in the real life?​
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Because the mechanical advantage of the machine is affected by friction and weight but velocity ratio is not. So, mechanical advantage is less than velocity rate. Thus, the machine's efficiency is less than 100% and can't be a perfect machine
