A bullet with a mass of 0.04-kg is traveling horizontally at 1400 m/s when it strikes a stationary target that is balanced on th

e top of a wooden post. The target has a mass of 9.96-kg. The target, with the bullet embedded, is knocked off of the post and moves to the right. How fast is the target with the bullet lodged in it traveling?

The speed of the target with the bullet lodged in it is 5.6 m/s.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

This is the rate of change of distance.

To calculate the speed of the target and the bullet lodged, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • V = mu/(m+M)............. Equation 1

Where:

  • V = Speed of the target and the bullet
  • m = mass of the bullet
  • M = mass of the target
  • u = Initial speed of the target

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 0.04 kg
  • u = 1400 m/s
  • M = 9.96 kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • V = (0.04×1400)/(0.04+9.96)
  • V = 56/10
  • V = 5.6 m/s

Hence, the speed of the target with the bullet lodged in it is 5.6 m/s.

The suspension cable of a 1,000 kg elevator snaps, sending the elevator moving downward through its shaft. The emergency brakes
tester [92]

Answer:

option (E) 1,000,000 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the suspension cable, m = 1,000 kg

Distance, h = 100 m

Now,

from the work energy theorem

Work done by the gravity = Work done by brake

or

mgh = Work done by brake

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 10 m/s²

or

Work done by brake  = 1000 × 10 × 100

or

Work done by brake = 1,000,000 J

this work done is the release of heat in the brakes

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) 1,000,000 J

A sprinter with a mass of 80 kg accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 s. What is the runner's acceleration?
sertanlavr [38]
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) = 9/3 = <em>3 m/s²</em> .

His mass makes no difference.

A car travels in a straight line for 5 h at a constant speed of 72 km/h. What is it’s acceleration
Luda [366]

Answer:

a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}

Explanation:

Given:

initial \:  velocity \:  (u) = 0 \\  \\ Final  \: Velocity \:  (v) = 72 km /h   \\  \\ Time \:  (t) = 5 \:  hours \\  \\ Acceleration \:  (a) =?  \\  \\  \because \: a =  \frac{v - u}{t}  \\  \\  \therefore \: a =  \frac{72 - 0}{5}  \\  \\ a =  \frac{72}{5}  \\  \\ a = 14.5 \: km {h}^{ - 2}  \\  \\ a =  \frac{14.5 \times 1000}{3600\times 3600} \: m {s}^{ - 2}   \\  \\ a = 0.00111882716 \\  \\ a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}
