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

A mass suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down as indicated. Consider the following possibilities. A At some point du
dangina [55]

A mass suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down, (as stated but not indicated).

A). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity but its acceleration is non-zero (can be either positive or negative).  <em>Yes. </em> This statement is true at the top and bottom ends of the motion.

B). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity and zero acceleration.  No.  If the mass is bouncing, this is never true.  It only happens if the mass is hanging motionless on the spring.

C). At some point during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity (can be either positive or negative) but has zero acceleration.  <em>Yes.</em>  This is true as the bouncing mass passes through the "zero point" ... the point where the upward force of the stretched spring is equal to the weight of the mass.  At that instant, the vertical forces on the mass are balanced, and the net vertical force is zero ... so there's no acceleration at that instant, because (as Newton informed us), A = F/m .  

D). At all points during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity and has nonzero acceleration (either can be positive or negative).  No.  This can only happen if the mass is hanging lifeless from the spring.  If it's bouncing, then It has zero velocity at the top and bottom extremes ... where acceleration is maximum ... and maximum velocity at the center of the swing ... where acceleration is zero.

Calculate the force of an 8kg object pushing up from the table
zepelin [54]

The correct answer to the question is: 78.4 N.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the mass of the object is given as m = 8 Kg.

We are asked to calculate the force of 8 Kg object pushing up from the table.

The force pushing up from the table is nothing else than the normal reaction.

The normal reaction of the object is equal to the weight of the object as the object is simply resting on the table.

Hence, normal reaction = Weight

                                               = mg

                                               = 8 × 9.8 N.

                                                = 78.4 N.

Here, g is known as acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, the force of the object pushing up from the table is 78.4 N.

A bullet of mass 20g is horizontally fired with a velocity of 150m/s from a pistol of mass 2 kg. What is the
kiruha [24]

Answer:

m1 = 20g (= 0.02 kg)

Mass of pistol, m2 = 2 kg

Initial velocity of the bullet (u1) and pistol (u2) = 0

Final velocity of the bullet, v1 = +150m s-1

Let v be the recoil velocity of the pistol.

Total momentum of the pistol and bullet after it is fired is

= (0.02 kg x 150 m s-1) + (2 kg x v m s-1)

= (3 + 2v) kg m s-1

Total momentum after the fire = Total momentum before the fire

3 + 2v = 0

→v = -1.5 m/s

zhenek [66]

Answer:

        v = √k/m    x

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the energy conservation relationships

starting point. Fully compressed spring

        Em₀ = K_{e} = ½ k x²

final point. Cart after leaving the spring

        Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        ½ k x² = ½ m v²

        v = √k/m    x
