A 12.0 g bullet was fired horizontally into a 1 kg block of wood. The bullet initially had a speed of 250 m/s. The block of wood

was hanging from a 2 m long piece of (massless) string. After the collision the block/bullet combined object swings upward on the string. Find the height the block/bullet combined object rises.
a. 0.66m
b. 0.45m
c. 0.12 m
d. 0.35 m
e. 0.27m

Answer:

So height though which combination of block bullet rises is 0.45 m

Explanation:

We have given mass of the bullet $m_1=12gram=0.012kg$

Velocity of the bullet $v_1=250m/sec$

Mass of block of wood $m_2=1kg$

Block is at rest so $v_2=0m/sec$

From conservation of momentum.

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v$

$0.012\times 250+0\times 0=(1+0.012)v$

$v=2.964m/sec$

From third equation of motion

$h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{2.964^2}{2\times .8}=0.45m$

So option (b) will be the correct answer.

A ball with a weight of 2 N is attached to the end of a cord of length 2m . The ball is whirl in a vertical circle counterclockw

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

we agree with

Edgar: The net force on the ball at the top position is 9 N. Both the tension and the weight are acting downward so you have to add them.

Explanation:

Weight of the ball is given as

$W = 2N$

so we have

$m = \frac{W}{g}$

$m = 0.204 kg$

now tension force at the top is given as

$T_{top} = 7 N$

$T_{bottom} = 15 N$

Now at the top position by force equation we can say that ball will have two downwards forces

1) Tension force

2) Weight of the ball

so net force on the ball is given as

$F_{net} = T + W$

$F_{net} = 7 + 2 = 9 N$

So we agree with

Edgar: The net force on the ball at the top position is 9 N. Both the tension and the weight are acting downward so you have to add them.

What is the relationship between power and voltage

FrozenT [24]

Answer

Voltage is how fast the electrons flow. Power is a use of voltage times the volumes of electrons. The higher the voltage the more power you have with the same current.

uniform disk with mass 40.0 kg and radius 0.200 m is pivoted at its center about a horizontal, frictionless axle that is station

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tangential velocity is $v= 0.868 m/s$

The magnitude of the resultant acceleration at that point is $a = 4.057 m/s^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the uniform disk is $m_d = 40.0kg$

The radius of the uniform disk is $R_d = 0.200m$

The force applied on the disk is $F_d = 30.0N$

Generally the angular speed i mathematically represented as

$w = \sqrt{2 \alpha \theta}$

Where $\theta$ is the angular displacement given from the question as

$\theta = 0.2000 rev = 0.2000 rev * \frac{2 \pi \ rad }{1 rev}$

$=1.257\ rad$

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration which is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of \ inertia} = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}$

The moment of inertial is mathematically represented as

$I = \frac{1}{2} m_dR^2_d$

Substituting values

$I = 0.5 * 40 * 0.200^2$

$= 0.8kg \cdot m^2$

Considering the equation for angular acceleration

$\alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of \ inertia} = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}$

Substituting values

$\alph$ $\alpha = \frac{(30.0)(0.200)}{0.8}$

$= 7.5 rad/s^2$

Considering the equation for angular velocity

$w = \sqrt{2 \alpha \theta}$

Substituting values

$w =\sqrt{2 * (7.5) * 1.257}$

$= 4.34 \ rad/s$

The tangential velocity of a given point on the rim is mathematically represented as

$v = R_d w$

Substituting values

$= (0.200)(4.34)$

$v= 0.868 m/s$

The radial acceleration at hat point is mathematically represented as

$\alpha_r = \frac{v^2}{R}$

$= \frac{0.868^2}{0.200^2}$

$= 3.7699 \ m/s^2$

The tangential acceleration at that point is mathematically represented as

$\alpha _t = R \alpha$

Substituting values

$\alpha _t = (0.200) (7.5)$

$= 1.5 m/s^2$

The magnitude of resultant acceleration at that point is

$a = \sqrt{\alpha_r ^2+ \alpha_t^2 }$

Substituting values

$a = \sqrt{(3.7699)^2 + (1.5)^2}$

$a = 4.057 m/s^2$
