To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion.
By definition we know that the position of a body is given by
Where
Initial position
Initial velocity
a = Acceleration
t= time
And the velocity can be expressed as,
Where,
For our case we have that there is neither initial position nor initial velocity, then
With our values we have , rearranging to find a,
Therefore the final velocity would be
Therefore the final velocity is 81.14m/s
Answer:
(a) v-bullet = 399.04 m/s
(b) I = 2.38 kg m/s
(c) T = 2.59 N
Explanation:
(a) To calculate the initial speed of the bullet, you first take into account that the kinetic energy of both wood block and bullet, just after the bullet impacts the block, is equal to the potential gravitational energy of block and bullet when the cord is at 60° respect to the vertical.
The potential energy is given by:
(1)
U: potential energy
M: mass of the wood block = 1 kg
m: mass of the bullet = 6g = 6.0*10^-3 kg
g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2
h: distance to the ground
The distance to the ground is calculate d by using the information about the length of the cord and the degrees of the cord respect to the vertical:
The potential energy is:
Next, the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy of the block and the bullet at the beginning of its motion:
Next, you use the momentum conservation law, in order to calculate the speed of the bullet before the impact:
(2)
v1: initial velocity of the wood block = 0m/s
v2: initial speed of the bullet
v: speed of bullet and block = 2.38m/s
You solve the equation (2) for v2:
The speed of the bullet before the impact with the wood block is 399.04 m/s
(b) The impulse is gibe by the change in the velocity of the block, multiplied by the mass of the block:
The impulse is 2.38 kgm/s
(c) The force on the cord after the impact is equal to the centripetal force over the block and bullet. That is:
The force on the cord after the impact is 2.59N
Answer:
See the answers below.
Explanation:
We will solve this problem by calculating each part separately.
A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days.
Energy can be calculated by multiplying the value of the power of the equipment by the amount of time of use.
The cots of electricity is 5.6 cents per kWh. How much would it cost to operate the laptop for 24 hours a day for one week?
We know that the power of the latop is 75 [W], then we can calculate the cost, multiplying the value of the power by the value of the cost by the time of use of the computer.
A toaster oven is 85% efficient. It uses 1200 J of energy. How much thermal energy is it producing?
Efficiency is defined as the relationship between the energy obtained on the energy delivered. Almost always the energy delivered is greater than the energy obtained (first law of thermodynamics).
Therefore.
