Answer:

vo = 227 m/s

Explanation:

Let's analyze the problem, we have two parts one during the crash for which we will use the moment and another when it slides where we will use the energy. As we give the data of the latter let's start here

Before starting let's reduce the unit to the SI system

    m = 6.00 g (1kg / 1000g) = 6.00 10⁻³ kg

    M = 1.12 kg

We write the energy at two points, one initial right after the crash and another when the body has stopped

Just after shock

The bodies are united, so the mass is the sum of the mass of the bullet and the block

    Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²

When the body has stopped

    Em_{f} = 0

When in the system there is friction force the variation the mechanical energy is equal to the work of the friction force. Notice that the force of friction opposes the movement so that their work is negative

    W fr = ΔEm = Em_{f} -Em₀

    -fr d = 0 - ½ (m + M) v²

To find the force of friction let's use Newton's second law

Axis y

    N-W = 0

    N = W = (m + M) g

The equation for the force of friction is

    fr = μ N

    fr = μ (m + M) g

Let's replace in the work and energy equation

    -μ (m + M) g d = 0 - ½ (m + M) v²

From here we can find the system speed. Let's calculate

    v³ = 2 μ g d

    v = √ (2μ gd)

    v = √ (2 0.250 9.8 0.300)

    v = 1.21 m / s

Now let's solve the crash, let's look for the moment before and after it

Before the crash

    po = m vo

After the crash

    p_{f} = (m + M) v

The system is formed by the bullet and the block, therefore, the forces during the impact are internal and the amount of movement is conserved

    po = p_{f}

    m vo = (m + M) v

    vo = v (m + M) / m

    vo = 1.21 (0.00600 + 1.12) /0.00600

    vo = 227 m / s

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

362.41 km/h

Explanation:

F = Force

m = Mass = 84 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

C = Drag coefficient = 0.8

ρ = Density of air = 1.21 kg/m³

A = Surface area = 0.04 m²

v = Terminal velocity

F = ma

F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow mg=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\frac{mg}{\rho CA}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\frac{20\times 9.81}{1.21\times 0.8\times 0.04}}\\\Rightarrow v=100.66924\ m/s

Converting to km/h

100.66924\times 3.6=362.41\ km/h

The terminal velocity of the stone is 362.41 km/h

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

soccer

Explanation:

soccer can inprove your health because you use all parts of your body playing it. You use your legs because you are running and you use your arms for doing throw ins. Soccer is also good for you because you are not playing for too long. Usually one soccer game is only 1 hour.
