Answer:
The distance the block will slide before it stops is 3.3343 m
Explanation:
Given;
mass of bullet, m₁ = 20-g = 0.02 kg
speed of the bullet, u₁ = 400 m/s
mass of block, m₂ = 2-kg
coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.24
Step 1:
Determine the speed of the bullet-block system:
From the principle of conservation of linear momentum;
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
where;
v is the speed of the bullet-block system after collision
(0.02 x 400) + (2 x 0) = v (0.02 + 2)
8 = v (2.02)
v = 8/2.02
v = 3.9604 m/s
Step 2:
Determine the time required for the bullet-block system to stop
Apply the principle of conservation momentum of the system
when the system stops, vf = 0
3.9604 -2.352t = 0
2.352t = 3.9604
t = 3.9604/2.352
t = 1.684 s
Thus, time required for the system to stop is 1.684 s
Finally, determine the distance the block will slide before it stops
From kinematic, distance is the product of speed and time
Now, recall that t = 1.684 s
S = 3.9604(1.684) - 1.176(1.684)²
S = 6.6693 - 3.3350
S = 3.3343 m
Thus, the distance the block will slide before it stops is 3.3343 m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 72km/hr
Final velocity = 0km/hr
Time taken = 25s
Unknown:
Acceleration = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;
1000m = 1km
3600s = 1hr
72km/hr;
1km/hr = 0.278m/s
72km/hr = 0.278 x 72 = 20.02m/s
Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;
Acceleration =
Acceleration = = -0.8m/s
The car is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s
