A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 109-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface a

nd connected to a spring having spring constant 152 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. If the bullet-block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 78.0 cm, what was the speed of the bullet at impact with the block?

Answer:

v₀ = 280.6 m / s

Explanation:

we have the shock between the bullet and the block that we can work with at the moment and another part where the assembly (bullet + block) compresses a spring, which we can work with mechanical energy,

We write the mechanical energy when the shock has passed the bodies

   Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²

We write the mechanical energy when the spring is in maximum compression

Em_{f} = K_{e} \\= \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\    Em_0 = Em_{f}

½ (m + M) v² = ½ k x²

Let's calculate the system speed

   v = √ [k x² / (m + M)]

   v = √[152 ×0.78² / (0.012 +0.109) ]

   v = 27.65 m / s

This is the speed of the bullet + Block system

Now let's use the moment to solve the shock

Before the crash

   p₀ = m v₀

After the crash

p_{f} = (m + M) v

The system is formed by the bullet and block assembly, so the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved

 p_0 =  p_{f}

  m v₀ = (m + M) v

  v₀ = v (m + M) / m

let's calculate

v₀ = 27.83 (0.012 +0.109) /0.012

  v₀ = 280.6 m / s

If a certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.33 x 10^14Hz what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light. Is this as
geniusboy [140]
In calculating the energy of a photon of light, we need the relationship for energy and the frequency which is expressed as:
 
E=hv

where h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10-34 J s)and v is the frequency.
E = 6.626 x 10-34 J s (<span>7.33 x 10^14 /s) = 4.857 x 10^-19 J</span>

Derive the formula for the moment of inertia of a uniform, flat, rectangular plate of dimensions l and w, about an axis through
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

A uniform thin rod with an axis through the center

Consider a uniform (density and shape) thin rod of mass M and length L as shown in (Figure). We want a thin rod so that we can assume the cross-sectional area of the rod is small and the rod can be thought of as a string of masses along a one-dimensional straight line. In this example, the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the rod and passes through the midpoint for simplicity. Our task is to calculate the moment of inertia about this axis. We orient the axes so that the z-axis is the axis of rotation and the x-axis passes through the length of the rod, as shown in the figure. This is a convenient choice because we can then integrate along the x-axis.

We define dm to be a small element of mass making up the rod. The moment of inertia integral is an integral over the mass distribution. However, we know how to integrate over space, not over mass. We therefore need to find a way to relate mass to spatial variables. We do this using the linear mass density of the object, which is the mass per unit length. Since the mass density of this object is uniform, we can write

λ = m/l (orm) = λl

If we take the differential of each side of this equation, we find

d m = d ( λ l ) = λ ( d l )

since  

λ

is constant. We chose to orient the rod along the x-axis for convenience—this is where that choice becomes very helpful. Note that a piece of the rod dl lies completely along the x-axis and has a length dx; in fact,  

d l = d x

in this situation. We can therefore write  

d m = λ ( d x )

, giving us an integration variable that we know how to deal with. The distance of each piece of mass dm from the axis is given by the variable x, as shown in the figure. Putting this all together, we obtain

I=∫r2dm=∫x2dm=∫x2λdx.

The last step is to be careful about our limits of integration. The rod extends from x=−L/2x=−L/2 to x=L/2x=L/2, since the axis is in the middle of the rod at x=0x=0. This gives us

I=L/2∫−L/2x2λdx=λx33|L/2−L/2=λ(13)[(L2)3−(−L2)3]=λ(13)L38(2)=ML(13)L38(2)=112ML2.

How will unbalanced forces affect the speed and direction of an object
azamat

Answer:

Explanation:

Unbalanced forces will result in the presence of acceleration. The formula

F net = ma

says that if there is a net force present and the object in question has a mass, then an acceleration is present. Now acceleration is constant in this situation because nowhere does it say the acceleration is changing. If acceleration is constant then the velocity is increasing at a steady pace (think linear function!).

The direction of the object depends on the direction that the net force is in. If the net force is to the left, then that object will accelerate to the left.

Hope this helps :)
