The law you need is :
lets call the constant c = 4pi*epsilon naught*r2.
where r is radius ( or seperation of the charges). epsilon naught is a constant of about 8.85*10^-12 or something like that. and 4 pi is just 4 times pi.
the actual equation is
FORCE= (q1*q2)/c
Yes, since it depends on the normal and resultant
Answer:
0.4113772 s
Explanation:
Given the following :
Mass of bullet (m1) = 8g = 0.008kg
Initial horizontal Velocity (u1) = 280m/s
Mass of block (m2) = 0.992kg
Maxumum distance (x) = 15cm = 0.15m
Recall;
Period (T) = 2π√(m/k)
According to the law of conservation of momentum : (inelastic Collison)
m1 * u1 = (m1 + m2) * v
Where v is the final Velocity of the colliding bodies
0.008 * 280 = (0.008 + 0.992) * v
2.24 = 1 * v
v = 2.24m/s
K. E = P. E
K. E = 0.5mv^2
P.E = 0.5kx^2
0.5(0.992 + 0.008)*2.24^2 = 0.5*k*(0.15)^2
0.5*1*5.0176 = 0.5*k*0.0225
2.5088 = 0.01125k
k = 2.5088 / 0.01125
k = 223.00444 N/m
Therefore,
Period (T) = 2π√(m/k)
T = 2π√(0.992+0.008) / 233.0444
T = 2π√0.0042910
T = 2π * 0.0655059
T = 0.4113772 s
Acceleration is the change in velocity
