A 5.30 g bullet moving at 963 m/s strikes a 610 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling

in the same direction with its speed reduced to 426 m/s. (a) What is the resulting speed of the block? (b) What is the speed of the bullet-block center of mass?

Answer:

a) V_{wf} = 4.67m/s

b) V = 8.29 m/s

Explanation:

Givens:

The bullet is 5.30g moving at 963m/s and its speed reduced to 426m/s. The wooden block is 610g.

a) From conservation of linear momentum

Pi = Pf

m_{b}V{b_{i} }  + V_{wi}  = m_{w} V_{wf} + m_{b}V_{bf}

where m_{b},V{b_{i} are the mass and the initial velocity of the bullet, m_{w} and V_{wi} are the mass and the initial velocity of the wooden block, and V_{wf} and V_{bf} are the final velocities of the wooden block and the bullet

The wooden block is initial at rest (V_{wi} = 0) this yields

m_{b}V{b_{i} }  = m_{w} V_{wf} + m_{b}V_{bf}

By solving for V_{wf} adn substitute the givens

V_{wf} = \frac{m_{b}V_{bi} - m_{b} V_{bf}    }{m_{W} }

= \frac{5.3(g)(963(m/s)-426(m/s) }{610(g)}

V_{wf} = 4.67m/s

b) The center of mass speed is defined as

V = \frac{m_{b} }{m_{b}+m_{w} } V_{bi}

substituting:

V = \frac{5.3(g)}{5.3(g)+610(g)} X 963(m/s)

V = 8.29 m/s

Each blade of a fan has a radius of 11 inches. If the fan’s rate of turn is 1440o /sec, find the following. (a) The angular spee
notka56 [123]

Answer:

a) 24.43 radians per second

b) 268.73 inches per second

Explanation:

a) The angular speed of the fan on Celsius degrees/second is 1400, so we should convert that value to radians using the fact that 2π rad = 360 °C:

\omega = 1400\frac{C}{s}=1400\frac{C}{s}*\frac{2\pi\,rad}{360\,C}

\omega = 1400\frac{C}{s}=24.43\frac{rad}{s}

b) Linear speed on a point of the blade is related with angular speed of the fan by the equation

v=\omega r

with v linear speed, ω angular speed and r the radius of the blades. So:

v=(24.43\frac{rad}{s})(11 in)

Radians isn't really a unity; it is dimensionless so we can put it or not. So:

v=268.73\frac{in}{s}

Which of the following is an example of a projective test?
IceJOKER [234]

Some examples of projective tests are the Rorschach Inkblot Test, the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), the Contemporized-Themes Concerning Blacks test, the TEMAS (Tell-Me-A-Story), and the Rotter Incomplete Sentence Blank (RISB).

You are trying to climb a castle wall so, from the ground, you throw a hook with a rope attached to it at 24.1 m/s at an angle o
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The value is  h  =  13.2 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The speed of the rope with hook is u =  24 .1 \  m/s

     The angle is  \theta = 65.0^o

      The speed at which it hits top of the wall is  v  =  16.3 m/s

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      v_y^2  =  u_y ^2 + *  2 (-g)* h

Here h is the height of the wall so

      [16.3 sin (65)]^2 =  [24.1 sin (65)] ^2+   2 (-9.8)* h

=>    h  =  13.2 \  m

an object has a mass of 50kg, a final height of 20m and an initial height of 8m. what is the amount of work done
Andrei [34K]

amount of work done is 5880 J

Given:

mass of object = 50kg

Final height = 20m

initial height = 8m

To Find:

amount of work done

Solution:

work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. You can calculate the energy transferred, or work done, by multiplying the force by the distance moved in the direction of the force.

The work done by gravity is given by the formula,

W = mgh

W = 50 x 9.8 x ( 20-8)

= 5880 J

So the work done is 5880 J

What causes a objects to move or stay still? claim and evidence
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

A force

Explanation:

A push or a pull is an example of a force and can cause an object to speed up, slow down, etc..  Newton's laws tell us that 1- an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it 2- the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. 3- The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.. However, forces like gravity and friction can resist movement.
