An insulator is a material that provides resistance to the flow of electric current. Insulators include rubber, plastic, glass since they do not allow electricity to flow through them.

A 10-g bullet moving horizontally with a speed of 1.8 km/s strikes and passes through a 5.0-kg block initially at rest on a hori

UNO [17]

Answer:

6.4 J

Explanation:

m = mass of the bullet = 10 g = 0.010 kg

v = initial velocity of bullet before collision = 1.8 km/s = 1800 m/s

v' = final velocity of the bullet after collision = 1 km/s = 1000 m/s

M = mass of the block = 5 kg

V = initial velocity of block before collision = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of the block after collision = ?

Using conservation of momentum

mv + MV = mv' + MV'

(0.010) (1800) + (5) (0) = (0.010) (1000) + (5) V'

V' = 1.6 m/s

Kinetic energy of the block after the collision is given as

KE = (0.5) M V'²

KE = (0.5) (5) (1.6)²

KE = 6.4 J

A farmer lifts his hay bales into the top loft of his barn by walking his horse forward with a constant velocity of 1 ft/s. Dete

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The velocity of the hay bale is - 0.5 ft/s and the acceleration is $6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Constant velocity of the horse in the horizontal, $v_{x} = 1 ft/s$

Distance of the horse on the horizontal axis, x = 10 ft

Vertical distance, y = 20 ft

Now,

Apply Pythagoras theorem to find the length:

$20^{2} + 10^{2} = l^{2}$

$l^{2}= 500$

Now,

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 500$ (1)

Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t 't':

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 0$

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = - y\frac{dy}{dt}$

where

$\frac{dx}{dt}$ = Rate of change of displacement along the horizontal

$\frac{dy}{dt}$ = Rate of change of displacement along the vertical

$v_{x}$ = velocity along the x-axis.

$v_{y}$ = velocity along the y-axis

$xv_{x} = -yv_{y}$

$v_{y} = - 10\times \frac{1}{20} = - 0.5 ft/s$

$|v_{y}| = 0.5\ ft/s$

Acceleration of the hay bale is given by the kinematic equation:

$v_{y}^{2} = u_{y} + 2ay$

$(-0.5)^{2} =0 + 2ay$

$0.25 = 2ay$

$\frac{0.25}{2y} = a$

$a = \frac{0.25}{2\times 20} = 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}$
