A 0.01 kg bullet is fired at a 0.5 kg block initially at rest. The bullet, moving with an initial speed of 400 m/s, emerges from

the block with a speed of 300 m/s. What is the speed of the block after the collision?

Use the law of conservation of momentum to solve this problem. We have a system of two bodies (bullet and block). Initially, only the bullet has a non-zero momentum. After the collision, both have some momentum and we know the part for the bullet, so it is simple to isolate the part for the block. Call v_t0 the initial bullet speed, v_t1 new bullet speed, v_k speed of block. (similarly for masses):

m_t\cdot v_{t0}=m_t\cdot v_{t1} + m_k\cdot v_k\implies\\v_k=\frac{m_t\cdot v_{t0}-m_t\cdot v_{t1}}{m_k}=\frac{0.01kg\cdot(400-300)m/s}{0.5kg}=2\frac{m}{s}

The block will move with a speed of 2 m/s in the direction of the bullet.

A transformer has a primary coil with 106 turns and a secondary coil of 340 turns. The AC voltage across the primary coil has a
UkoKoshka [18]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to transformers, that is to say passive electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to one or more circuits.

From the mathematical definition we have that the relationship between the voltage of the first coil and the second coil is proportional to the number of loops of the first and second loop, that is:

\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}

Where

V_p =  input voltage on the primary coil.

V_s=input voltage on the secondary coil.

N_p=  number of turns of wire on the primary coil.

N_s = number of turns of wire on the secondary  coil.

Replacing our values we have:

V_p = 128V

N_p = 106

N_s = 340

Replacing,

\frac{V_s}{128} = \frac{340}{106}

V_s = 410.56V

From the same relations of number of turns and the voltage of the first and second coil we also have the relation of electricity and voltage whereby:

V_s I_s = V_p I_p

Where

I_p= Current Primary Coil

I_s = Current secundary Coil

Therefore:

I_s = \frac{V_p I_p}{V_s}

I_s = \frac{(128)(6)}{410.56}

I_s = 1.87 A

Therefore the maximum values for the secondary coil of the voltage is 410.56V and Current is 1.87A

A 15 g bullet traveling horizontally at 865 m/s passes through a tank containing 13.5 kg of water and emerges with a speed of 53
blagie [28]

Answer:

0.0613°C

Explanation:

the given parameters are m=15gm=15×10⁻³  V₁=865m/s  V₂=534m/s

the bullet moves with different kinetic energies before and after the penetration, therefore

Kinetic energy before - kinetic energy after = 1/2 × m × ( V₁² - V₂²)

                                                                         =\frac{1}{2} × 15×10⁻³ × (865² - 534²)

                                                                         = 3.47 × 10⁻³J

 this loss in energy is transferred to the water, therefore

change in temperature = \frac{Q}{m  C}

where c = heat capacity of water = 4.19 x 10^3

          m = mass of water = 13.5 kg

= {3.47 × 10⁻³} / {13.5 x  4.19 x 10^3 }

=0.0613°C

A speed-time graph is shown below:
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: 0.5 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Average acceleration a_{ave} is the variation of velocity \Delta V over a specified period of time \Delta t:

a_{ave}=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}}

Where:

\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{o} being V_{o}=0 cm/s the initial velocity and V_{f}=4 cm/s the final velocity  (according to the information given from the described graph)

\Delta t=8 s

Then:

a_{ave}=\frac{4 cm/s -0 cm/s}{8 s}}

a_{ave}=0.5 m/s^{2}
