Answer:

The final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a bullet is, m = 0.05 kg

Mass of wooden block is, M = 5 kg

Initial speed of bullet, v = 909 m/s

The bullet embeds itself in the block which flies off its stand. Let V is the final velocity of the bullet. The this case, momentum of the system remains conserved. So,

mv=(m+M)V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{m+M}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.05\times 909}{0.050+5}\\\\V=9\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

If you shout at a cliff wall that is 440 m away and the air temperature is at 25 °C, how long will it take before you hear your
ira [324]
The speed of sound at T=25°C is Vs=346 m/s. So the sound has to reach the cliff and return back to you so the path it needs to travel is s=2*440 m = 880 m.
Since the speed of sound is constant s=Vs*t, and t= s/Vs=880/346=2.54335 s. You will hear the echo after t=2.54335 s after you shouted.

The strength of the force of friction depends on which two factors?
Stolb23 [73]

Options A and D are correct. The strength of the force of friction depends on the objects' sizes and weights and the heat generated by the friction and the types of surfaces involved.

<h3 /><h3>What is the friction force?</h3>

It is a type of opposition force acting on the surface of the body that tries to oppose the motion of the body. its unit is Newton (N).

Mathematically, it is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction and normal reaction.

On resolving the given force and acceleration in the different components and balancing the equation gets. Components in the x-direction.

The strength of the force of friction depends on the two factors, as;

A. The objects' sizes and weights.

D. The heat generated by the friction and the types of surfaces involved.

Hence, options A and D are correct.

An object carries a +15.5 µC charge. It is 0.525 m from a -7.25 µC charge. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the ob
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

the force of attraction between the two charges is 3.55 N.

Explanation:

Given;

first charge carried by the object, q₁ = 15.5 µC

second charge carried by the q₂ = -7.25 µC

distance between the two charges, r = 0.525 m

The force of attraction between the two charges is calculated as;

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(15\times 10^{-6})(7.25\times 10^{-6})}{(0.525)^2} \\\\F = 3.55 \ N

Therefore, the force of attraction between the two charges is 3.55 N.

A 41 kg girl and a 5.0 kg sled are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, 15 m apart but connected by a rope of negligible ma
goldfiish [28.3K]

(a) 0.8 m/s^2

The force exerted on the sled is F = 4.0 N. We can calculate the acceleration of the sled by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 5.0 kg is the mass of the sled

a is the acceleration of the sled

Solving the equation for a, we find:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{4.0 N}{5.0 kg}=0.8 m/s^2

(b) 0.098 m/s^2

According to Newton's third law (action-reaction law), since the girl exerts a force on the sled, then the sled exerts an equal and opposite force on the girl as well. This means that the force exerted on the girl is also F = 4.0 N. As before, we can calculate the acceleration of the girl by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 41 kg is the mass of the girl

a is the acceleration of the girl

Solving the equation for a, we find:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{4.0 N}{41 kg}=0.098 m/s^2

(c) 5.8 s

Taking the initial position of the girl as x = 0, the position at time t of the girl is given by:

x(t)=\frac{1}{2}a_g t^2

where a_g = 0.098 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the girl.

The sled starts instead its motion from x = 15 m, so its position at time t is given by

x'(t)=15-\frac{1}{2}a_s t^2

where a_s=0.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the sled, and the negative sign is due to the fact that the sled accelerates in opposite direction to the girl's acceleration.

The girl and the sled meet when x(t) = x'(t). So, we find:

\frac{1}{2}a_g t^2=15-\frac{1}{2}a_s t^2\\(a_g+a_s) t^2=30 m\\t=\sqrt{\frac{30 m}{a_g+a_s}}=\sqrt{\frac{30 m}{0.8 m/s^2+0.098 m/s^2}}=5.8 s
