a ballistic pendulum is used to measure the speed of high-speed projectiles. A 6 g bullet A is fired into a 1 kg wood block B su

spended by a cord of length l =2.2m. The block then swings through a maximum angle of theta = 60. Determine (a) the initial speed of the bullet vo, (b) the impulse imparted by the bullet on the block, (c) the force on the cord immediately after the impact

Answer:

(a) v-bullet = 399.04 m/s

(b) I = 2.38 kg m/s

(c) T = 2.59 N

Explanation:

(a) To calculate the initial speed of the bullet, you first take into account that the kinetic energy of both wood block and bullet, just after the bullet impacts the block, is equal to the potential gravitational energy of block and bullet when the cord is at 60° respect to the vertical.

The potential energy is given by:

U=(M+m)gh       (1)

U: potential energy

M: mass of the wood block = 1 kg

m: mass of the bullet = 6g = 6.0*10^-3 kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

h: distance to the ground

The distance to the ground is calculate d by using the information about the length of the cord and the degrees of the cord respect to the vertical:

h=l-lsin\theta\\\\h=2.2m-2,2m\ sin60\°=0.29m

The potential energy is:

U=(1kg+6*10^{-3}kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.29m)=2.85J

Next, the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy of the block and the bullet at the beginning of its motion:

U=\frac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2\frac{U}{M+m}}=\sqrt{2\frac{2.85J}{1kg+6*10^{-3}kg}}=2.38\frac{m}{s}

Next, you use the momentum conservation law, in order to calculate the speed of the bullet before the impact:

Mv_1+mv_2=(M+m)v    (2)

v1: initial velocity of the wood block = 0m/s

v2: initial speed of the bullet

v: speed of bullet and block = 2.38m/s

You solve the equation (2) for v2:

M(0)+mv_2=(M+m)v    

v_2=\frac{M+m}{m}v=\frac{1kg+6*10^{-3}kg}{6*10^{-3}kg}(2.38m/s)\\\\v_2=399.04\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the bullet before the impact with the wood block is 399.04 m/s

(b) The impulse is gibe by the change in the velocity of the block, multiplied by the mass of the block:

I=M\Delta v=M(v-v_1)=(1kg)(2.38m/s-0m/s)=2.38kg\frac{m}{s}

The impulse is 2.38 kgm/s

(c) The force on the cord after the impact is equal to the centripetal force over the block and bullet. That is:

T=F_c=(M+m)\frac{v^2}{l}=(1.006kg)\frac{(2.38m/s)^2}{2.2m}=2.59N    

The force on the cord after the impact is 2.59N

trapecia [35]

Answer:

we can say that with a smaller magnitude , the field will point is in same direction

Explanation:

we have given that

solenoid is filled with a diamagnetic material and with air, magnetic field pointing along its axis in the positive x direction

so in small magnitude, the field will point is in same direction

The c-cl bond dissociation energy in cf3cl is 339 kj/mol. What is the maximum wavelength of photons that can rupture this bond?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

3.53*10^{-7} m

Explanation:

Photon that can rupture the bonds are those with the energy of the bond dissociation energy. If we want to know the energy for each molecule we have to take into account that:

1mol=6.022*10^{23}molecule

Hence, we have

E_d=339\frac{10^{3}J}{mol}*\frac{1mol}{6-022*10^{23}molecules}=5.62*10^{-19}J/molecule

but the energy is also:

E_d=h\nu =\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\frac{hc}{E_d}

where h is the Planck's constant and c is the speed of ligth. By replacing we obtain:

\lambda=\frac{(6.62*10^{-34}Js)(3*10^{8}m/s)}{5.62*10^{-19}J}=3.53*10^{-7}m

hope this helps!

Which type of heat transfer can happen through empty space?
Scilla [17]
<h2>Answer: Heat transfer by radiation</h2>

Explanation:

There are three ways in which the thermal transfer (heat) occurs:

1. By Conduction, when the transmission is by the <u>direct contact.</u>  

2. By Convection, heat transfer<u> in fluids</u> (like water or the air, for example).  

3. By <u>Radiation</u>, by the electromagnetic waves (they can travel through any medium and in vacumm or empty space)

Since outter space is vacuum (sometimes called "empty"), energy cannot be transmitted by convection, nor conduction. It must be transmitted by electromagnetic waves that are able to travel with or without a medium.
