A 5.00-g bullet is fired into a 900-g block of wood suspended as a ballistic pendulum. The combined mass swings up to a height o

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The value is $KE_b =0.710 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the bullet is $m_b = 5.00 \ g = 0.005 \ kg$

The mass of the wood is $m_w = 900 \ g = 0.90\ kg$

The height attained by the combined mass is $h = 8.0 \ cm = 0.08 \ m$

Generally according to the law of energy conservation

$KE _b = PE_c$

Here $KE_b$ is the kinetic energy of the bullet before collision.

and $PE_c$ is the potential energy of the combined mass of bullet and wood at the height h which is mathematically represented as

$PE_m = [m_b + m_w] * g * h$

$KE_b =PE_c = [0.005 + 0.90] * 9.8 *0.08$

=> $KE_b =0.710 \ J$

As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted o

STatiana [176]

Answer:

3335400 N/m² or 483.75889 lb/in²

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

A = Area = 1.5 cm²

m = Mass of woman = 51 kg

F = Force = mg

When we divide force by area we get pressure

$P=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{mg}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{51\times 9.81}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}\\\Rightarrow P=3335400\ N/m^2$

$1\ N/m^2=\frac{1}{6894.757}\ lb/in^2$

$3335400\ N/m^2=3335400\times \frac{1}{6894.757}\ lb/in^2=483.75889\ lb/in^2$

The pressure exerted on the floor is 3335400 N/m² or 483.75889 lb/in²

The rate (in cubic feet per hour) that a spherical snowball melts is proportional to the snowball's volume raised to the 2/3 pow

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A 3 feet radius snowball will melt in 54 hours.

Explanation:

As we can assume that the rate of snowball takes to melt is proportional to the surface area, then the rate for a 3 feet radius will be:

T= A(3 ft)/A(1 ft) * 6 hr

A is the area of the snowballs. For a spherical geometry is computing as:

A=4.pi.R^2

Then dividing the areas:

A(3 feet)/A(1 foot) = (4 pi (3 ft)^2)/(4 pi (1 ft)^2) = (36pi ft^2)/(4pi ft^2)= 9

Finally, the rate for the 3 feet radius snowball is:

T= 9 * 6 hr = 54 hr
