A bullet is moving at a speed of 425.0 m/s when it hits a wall and comes to a stop. The bullet travels for a distance of 0.0780m. Determine the acceleration of the bullet.

The acceleration of the bullet is 1.158 x 10⁶ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

final velocity of the bullet, v = 425 m/s

distance traveled by the bullet before stopping, s = 0.078 m

the acceleration is given by the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

where;

u is the initial velocity of the bullet, = 0

a is the acceleration of the bullet = ?

v² = 2as

a = v² / 2s

a = (425²) / (2 x 0.078)

a = 1.158 x 10⁶ m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the bullet is 1.158 x 10⁶ m/s²

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
