A bullet (m=20g) shot with a speed of 800 m/s hits an oak tree and sticks 4cm inside it.

Hi there!

We can begin by converting cm to m:

4cm = 0.04 m

Use the following equation:

vf² = vi² + 2ad

The final velocity is 0 m/s, so:

0 = vi² + 2ad

vi² = -2(a)d

Plug in given values to solve for the acceleration:

800²/2(0.04) = -a

a = -8,000,000 m/s²

Find the force using the equation:

F = ma

F = (0.02)(-8,000,000) = -160,000 N

Nookie1986 [14]
On Earth, gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the downwsrd speed of any falling object, every second. Beginning from zero downward speed, the speed grows to (8 x 9.8) = 78.4 m/s downward after 8 sec.

What orientation of velocity and acceleration will cause something to initially speed up?
Temka [501]
-- If acceleration and velocity are in the same direction,
then the object is speeding up.

-- If acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions,
then the object is slowing down.

-- If acceleration is perpendicular to velocity, then the object
is moving on a circular curve at constant speed.

An object 5.Ocm in the length is placed at a distance of 20cm in front of convex mirror
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Position = \frac{60}{7}\ cm behind the mirror

Nature = Virtual and Erect

Size = \frac{15}{7}\ cm : Diminished

Explanation:

Sign convention-Distance measured to the left of pole is negative and to the right of pole is positive.

Object distance = u = -20 cm

Focal length = f = Radius of curvature/2 = 30/2 = 15 cm

We have to use mirror formula to find image distance.

\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}\\ \frac{1}{-20}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15}\\ \frac{1}{v}=\frac{7}{60}\\v=\frac{60}{7}\ cm

Since the image distance is positive, it is formed behind the mirror or a virtual image is formed.

Magnification = =\frac{h_{image}}{h_{object}}=-\frac{v}{u}=\frac{60}{7\times20}=\frac{3}{7}

Height of the object = 5 cm

Height of the image = 5\times\frac{3}{7}=\frac{15}{7}\ cm

Since the height of the image is positive and less than the size of object,it is erect and diminished.

Two football players collide head-on in midair while trying to catch a thrown football. The first player is 98.5 kg and has an i
romanna [79]

Answer:

v_f=0.825m/s

Explanation:

We must use conservation of linear momentum before and after the collision, p_i=p_f

Before the collision we have:

p_i=p_1+p_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where these are the masses are initial velocities of both players.

After the collision we have:

p_f=(m_1+m_2)v_f

since they clong together, acting as one body.

This means we have:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f

Or:

v_f=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

Which for our values is:

v_f=\frac{(98.5kg)(6.05m/s)+(119kg)(-3.5m/s)}{(98.5kg)+(119kg)}=0.825m/s
