Answer:
The bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the bullet, 
Mass of the pendulum, 
The center of mass of the pendulum rises a vertical distance of 10 cm.
We need to find the bullet's initial speed if it is assumed that the bullet remains embedded in the pendulum. Let it is v. In this case, the energy of the system remains conserved. The kinetic energy of the bullet gets converted to potential energy for the whole system. So,
V is the speed of the bullet and pendulum at the time of collision
Now using conservation of momentum as :
Put the value of V from equation (1) in above equation as :
So, the bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.
Potential energy is the store she energy from an object this could include rubber bands. Kinetic energy is the energy that deals with motion a good example is a person running
As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.
The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb
Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.
Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2
Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s
Hence time t= 1.5 s
From equation of kinematics we know that -
S=ut + 0.5at^2 [ here S is the distance travelled]
For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.
Hence S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}
⇒ -S =0-11.025 m
⇒ S= 11.025 m
=11 m
Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .
Hence the correct option is B.
