kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy stored in the brakes.
Power is defined as the rate at which the body is doing work:
Work is defined as displacement done by the force times that displacement:
We know that we need 62N to move the box, so when we apply this force along the path of 10m we have done:
of work.
Now we just divide that by 5s to get how much power is required:
Answer:
Solving for time :
(There are 4 formulas from linear motion. These formulas are very helpful as it allows us to prevent complicated calculations. Choose among the four that has : 1. The most constants known
2. The unknown constant that we want to solve)
s = (1/2)(u+v)t <--- one of the formulas
from linear motion
s (distance) = 0.05m
u (initial velocity) = 100m/s
v (final velocity) = 0 m/s (it stops)
t (time taken for change in velocity) = to be found
0.05 = (1/2)(100+0)t
t = 0.001 seconds
Solving for the resistant force :
Since the bullet hits the bag with an impulsive force and stops, the force that stops the bullet is the resistant force.
When the bullet stops :
F net = 0
F r = F imp
F r = (mu -mv)/t
F r = (0.01x100-0.01x0)/0.001
F r = 1/0.001
F r = 1000N
