The correct choice is

A) rifling

Rifling is a pattern of sequence of raised and recessed portions. These raised portions are known as lands and recessed portions as grooves. these lands and grooves helps in providing spin to the bullet as it is fired. This spin makes the bullet to penetrate deeper into the target and cause severe damage.

It's called rifling, to stabilise the bullet.

An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Part a) $\frac{5}{9}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Part b) $\frac{9}{5}\ \frac{sec}{rev}$

Explanation:

Part a) what is its frequency, in rev/s

we have that

An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM

$33\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$33\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}=\frac{33*3+1}{3}=\frac{100}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}$

Remember that

$1\ min=60\ sec$

Convert rev/min to rev/sec

$\frac{100}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}=\frac{100}{3}(\frac{1}{60})=\frac{100}{180}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Simplify

$\frac{5}{9}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Part b) what is it period, in seconds

we know that

The period is the reciprocal of the frequency

therefore

the frequency is

$\frac{9}{5}\ \frac{sec}{rev}$

Near the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.6 m. The front runner has a velocity of

morpeh [17]

Answer:17.08 s

Explanation:

Given

distance between First and second Runner is 45.6 m

speed of first runner $(v_1)$ =3.1 m/s

speed of second runner $(v_2)$ =4.65 m/s

Distance between first runner and finish line is 250 m

Second runner need to run a distance of 250+45.6=295.6 m

Time required by second runner $t=\frac{295.6}{4.65}=63.56 s$

time required by first runner to reach finish line $=\frac{250}{3.1}=80.64 s$

Thus second runner reach the finish line 80.64-63.56=17.08 s earlier

A circuit contains a 1.5 volt battery and a bulb with a resistance of 3 ohms. Calculate the current

Vitek1552 [10]

The formula that links voltage (V), resistance (R) and current intensity (I) is

$V=RI$

Solve this formula for I to get

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}$

Plug your values for V and R and you'll get the current.

Why is it important that two different metals are used in building an electrochemic<br> cell?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

They need a galvanic difference. Or saying that less technically, they need to have different electron attraction, so that one can collect electrons (oxidation/reduction) and flow current from the other. :)
