A 5.30 g bullet moving at 963 m/s strikes a 610 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

a) $V_{wf}$ = 4.67m/s

b) V = 8.29 m/s

Explanation:

Givens:

The bullet is 5.30g moving at 963m/s and its speed reduced to 426m/s. The wooden block is 610g.

a) From conservation of linear momentum

Pi = Pf

$m_{b}V{b_{i} } + V_{wi} = m_{w} V_{wf} + m_{b}V_{bf}$

where $m_{b},V{b_{i}$ are the mass and the initial velocity of the bullet, $m_{w}$ and $V_{wi}$ are the mass and the initial velocity of the wooden block, and $V_{wf}$ and $V_{bf}$ are the final velocities of the wooden block and the bullet

The wooden block is initial at rest $(V_{wi} = 0)$ this yields

$m_{b}V{b_{i} } = m_{w} V_{wf} + m_{b}V_{bf}$

By solving for $V_{wf}$ adn substitute the givens

$V_{wf}$ = $\frac{m_{b}V_{bi} - m_{b} V_{bf} }{m_{W} }$

= $\frac{5.3(g)(963(m/s)-426(m/s) }{610(g)}$

$V_{wf}$ = 4.67m/s

b) The center of mass speed is defined as

$V = \frac{m_{b} }{m_{b}+m_{w} } V_{bi}$

substituting:

$V = \frac{5.3(g)}{5.3(g)+610(g)} X 963(m/s)$

V = 8.29 m/s

Whenever two apollo astronauts were on the surface of the moon, a third astronaut orbited the moon. assume the orbit to be circu

almond37 [142]

Missing question:
"Determine (a) the astronaut’s orbital speed v and (b) the period of the orbit"

Solution

part a) The center of the orbit of the third astronaut is located at the center of the moon. This means that the radius of the orbit is the sum of the Moon's radius r0 and the altitude ( $h=430 km=4.3 \cdot 10^5 m$ ) of the orbit:
$r= r_0 + h=1.7 \cdot 10^6 m + 4.3 \cdot 10^5 m=2.13 \cdot 10^6 m$
This is a circular motion, where the centripetal acceleration is equal to the gravitational acceleration g at this altitude. The problem says that at this altitude, $g=1.08 m/s^2$ . So we can write
$g=a_c= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where $a_c$ is the centripetal acceleration and v is the speed of the astronaut. Re-arranging it we can find v:
$v= \sqrt{g r}= \sqrt{(1.08 m/s^2)(2.13 \cdot 10^6 m)}=1517 m/s = 1.52 km/s$

part b) The orbit has a circumference of $2 \pi r$ , and the astronaut is covering it at a speed equal to v. Therefore, the period of the orbit is
$T= \frac{2 \pi r}{v} = \frac{2\pi (2.13 \cdot 10^6 m)}{1517 m/s} =8818 s = 2.45 h$
So, the period of the orbit is 2.45 hours.

An object that is initially not rotating has a constant torque of 3.6 N⋅m applied to it. The object has a moment of inertia of 6

Korolek [52]

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is equal to Net Torque divided by rotational inertia, which is the rotational equivalent to Newton’s 2nd Law. Therefore, angular acceleration is equal to 3.6/6 which is 0.6. Hope this helped!
