ipn [44]

Answer:

t=0.42s

Explanation:

Here you have an inelastic collision. By the conservation of the momentum you have:

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

m1: mass of the bullet

m2: wooden block mass

v1: velocity of the bullet

v2: velocity of the wooden block

v: velocity of bullet and wooden block after the collision.

By noticing that after the collision, both objects reach the same height from where the wooden block was dropped, you can assume that v is equal to the negative of v2. In other words:

$m_1(-v_1)+m_2v_2=(m1+m2)(-v2)$

Where you assumed that the negative direction is upward. By replacing and doing v2 the subject of the formula you get:

$-(0.0129kg)(767m/s)+(1.17kg)v_2=(1.1829kg)(-v_2)\\\\v_2=4.20m/s$

Now, with this information you can use the equation for the final speed of an accelerated motion and doing t the subject of the formula. IN other words:

$v_2=v_o+gt\\\\t=\frac{v_2-v_o}{g}=\frac{4.2m/s-0m/s}{9.8m/s^2}=0.42s$

hence, the time is t=0.42 s

Liula [17]

<span>A gymnast with mass m1 = 43 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 = 115 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam.
1)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
2)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?
3)How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip?
Now the gymnast (not holding any additional mass) walks directly above the right support.

4)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
5)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?</span>

A truck on the freeway originally moving at 6.6 meters/second accelerates uniformly with acceleration a = 2.8 meters/second2 for

Sonja [21]

Answer:

139.514 metres

Explanation:

Initial velocity of the truck = 6.6 m/s

Acceleration of the truck = 2.8 m/s^2

Time interval = 7.9 s

Therefore we use the formula,

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

*where s(the distance travelled)...u(the initial velocity)...t(the time period)

; s = 6.6(7.9) + 1/2 (2.8)(7.9)^2

; s = 52.14 + 87.374

The distance moved by the truck = 139.514m

. If she

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

9 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Avi is, $m=40\ kg$

Spring constant is, $k=176,400\ N/m$

Compression in the spring is, $x=20\ cm=0.20\ m$

Let the maximum height reached be 'h' m.

Now, as the spring is compressed, there is elastic potential energy stored in the spring. This elastic potential energy is transferred to Avi in the form of gravitational potential energy.

So, by law of conservation of energy, decrease in elastic potential energy is equal to increase in gravitational potential energy.

Decrease in elastic potential energy is given as:

$EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\EPE=\frac{1}{2}\times 176400\times (0.20)^2\\EPE=88200\times 0.04=3528\ J$

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is given as:

$GPE=mgh=40\times 9.8\times h=392h$

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is equal decrease in elastic potential energy. Therefore,

$392h=3528\\\\h=\frac{3528}{392}\\\\h=9\ m$

Therefore, Avi will reach a maximum height of 9 meters.
