Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

initial speed = v

initial momentum = p

final speed = 2v

final momentum = p'

The formula for relativistic momentum is given by

p = \frac{mv}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}     .... (1)

The new momentum is given by

p' = \frac{m\times 2v}{\sqrt{1-\frac{4v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}     .... (2)

By comparison, p' < 2p.

Thus, the option is (b) .

A rifle bullet with mass ma = 8.00 g strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass mb = 0.992 kg that rests on a frictionless,
Doss [256]

Answer:

the magnitude of the velocity of the block just after impact is 2.598 m/s and the original speed of the bullect is 324.76m/s.

Explanation:

a)  Kinetic energy of block = potential energy in spring  

½ mv² = ½ kx²

Here m stands for combined mass (block + bullet),

which is just 1 kg.  Spring constant k is unknown, but you can find it from given data:  

k = 0.75 N / 0.25 cm

= 3 N/cm, or 300 N/m.  

From the energy equation above, solve for v,

v = v √(k/m)  

= 0.15 √(300/1)

= 2.598 m/s.

b)  Momentum before impact = momentum after impact.

Since m = 1 kg,

v = 2.598 m/s,

p = 2.598 kg m/s.  

This is the same momentum carried by bullet as it strikes the block.  Therefore, if u is bullet speed,  

u = 2.598 kg m/s / 8 × 10⁻³ kg

= 324.76 m/s.

Hence, the magnitude of the velocity of the block just after impact is 2.598 m/s and the original speed of the bullect is 324.76m/s.

I REALLY NEED HELP WITH PHYSICS ASAP!!!<br>Vf^2 = v0^2 + 2a (xf - x0)<br><br><br>Solve for a
ELEN [110]

Answer:

a. solve for a

vf ^{2} = vo ^{2}  + 2a(xf - xo) \\ 2a(xf - xo) = vf^{2}    -  vo ^{2}   \\ a =  \frac{vf^{2} - vo^{2}  }{2(xf - xo)}    \\ a =  \frac{vf ^{2} - vo ^{2}  }{2xf - 2xo}

I hope I helped you ^_^
