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:
7.5 cm
Explanation:
In the figure we can see a sketch of the problem. We know that at the bottom of the U-shaped tube the pressure is equal in both branches. Defining

Answer:
<h2>
d₂ = 3d</h2><h2>
The diameter of the second wire is 3 times that of the initial wire.</h2>
Explanation:
Using the formula for calculating the resistivity of an object to find the diameter.
Resistivity P = RA/L
R is the resistance of the material
A is the cross sectional area
L is the length of the material
Since A = πd²/4
P = R( πd²/4)/L
P = Rπd²/4L ... 1
If the second wire of the same material and length is found to have resistance R/9, the resistivity of the second material will be;
P₂ = (R/9)A₂/L₂
P₂ = (R/9)(πd₂²/4)/L₂
P₂ = (Rπd₂²/36)/L₂
P₂ = (Rπd₂²)/36L₂
Since the length and resistivity are the same;
P = P₂ and L =L₂
Equating 1 and 2;
Rπd²/4L = (Rπd₂²)/36L₂
Rπd²/4L = (Rπd₂²)/36L
d² = d₂²/9
d₂² = 9d²
Taking the square root of both sides;
√d₂² = √9d²
d₂ = 3d
Therefore the diameter of the second wire is 3 times that of the initial wire
