A bullet of mass 0.1 kg traveling horizontally at a speed of 100 m/s embeds itself in a block of mass 3 kg that is sitting at re

st on a nearly frictionless surface. (a) What is the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block? v = m/s (b) Calculate the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block before the collision: Ki = J (c) Calculate the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block after the collision: Kf = J

Answer:

(a) the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block is 3.226 m/s

(b) the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block before the collision is 500J

(c) the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block after the collision is 16.13J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m₁ = 0.1 kg

initial speed of bullet, u₁ = 100 m/s

mass of block, m₂ = 3 kg

initial speed of block, u₂ = 0

Part (A)

Applying the principle of conservation linear momentum, for inelastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block

(0.1 x 100) + (3 x 0) = v (0.1 + 3)

10 = 3.1v

v = 10/3.1

v = 3.226 m/s

Part (B)

Initial Kinetic energy

Ki = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²

Ki =  ¹/₂(0.1 x 100²) +  ¹/₂(3 x 0²)

Ki = 500 + 0

Ki = 500 J

Part (C)

Final kinetic energy

Kf = ¹/₂m₁v² + ¹/₂m₂v²

Kf = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)

Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(0.1 + 3)

Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(3.1)

Kf = 16.13 J

Does passing a magnet through a coil of wire break off it’s electric current
hichkok12 [17]
A magnetic field is actually generated by a moving current (or moving electric charge specifically). The magnetic field generated by a moving current can be found by using the right hand rule, point your right thumb in the direction of current flow, then the wrap of your fingers will tell you what direction the magnetic field is. In the case of current traveling up a wire, the magnetic field generated will encircle the wire. Similarly electromagnets work by having a wire coil, and causing current to spin in a circle, generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow (again right hand rule).

So if you were to take a permenant magnet and cut a hole in it then string a straight wire through it... my guess is nothing too interesting would happen. The two different magnetic fields might ineteract in a peculiar way, but nothing too fascinating, perhaps if you give me more context as to what you might think would happen or what made you come up with this question I could help.

What do you need to know to be able to determine how far a projectile travels horizontally?
Effectus [21]
As for me, there are two suitable answers for the question represented above and here is a short explanation why I consider these two to be correct : 
D. The horizontal velocity of the projectile and <span>B. The length of time before it lands 
</span>v_x = v*cos(x) [&#10;&#10;d_x = v_x(t) + ½at² -- this led me to answers! Hope everything is clear! Regards!<span>
