With his gun at chest level, a hunter taken by surprise as a lion suddenly charges towards him, fires at the lion. The bullet hits the lion on its chest while the butt of the gun hits the hunter on his chest too. Though the man is unhurt, the bullet breaks the lion's ribs. This is hecause 42 1) The ribs of a lion are not as strong as those of a human being The kinetic energy of the bullet is preater than the recoil kinetic energy of the gun Their momenta are the same but the much smaller size of the bullet causes it to exert a much greater pressure on the ribs of the lion than the butt of the gun (with its much greater arca) exerts on the ribs of the hunter 2) 3)
A ball of mass m = 1.65 kg is released from rest at a height h = 44.0 cm above a light vertical spring of force constant kas in Figure [a] shown below. The ball strikes the top of the spring and compresses it a distance d = 8.80 cm as in Figure [b] shown below. Neglecting any energy losses during the collision, find the following. 771 h b G (a) Find the speed of the ball just as it touches the spring. 2.94 m/s (b) Find the force constant of the spring. 2023.31 XkN/m
What happens to the kinetic energy that is lost during an inelastic collision?
Physical science please simplify A bullet with a mass of 24 g is fired at an enemy soldier at 750 m/s. After traveling 450 m, the bullet has lost 26% of its velocity to air resistance. How much kinetic energy has the bullet lost?
A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 7.20 km/h (2.0 m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force (in N) on a bumper that collapses 0.240 m while bringing a 870 kg car to rest from an initial speed of 2.0 m/s. (Enter a number.)
4. A big fish of 220 pounds chomps a prey of 0.557 kg which is initially stationary. To do so, it swam with energy equal to 272.27 joules. Find: a) its initial velocity, b) final velocity for both big fish and prey, c) Find the change in energy. Please answer correctly, comprehensively, and completely. Because based on experience, some expert answers were wrong. Thank you.
