A bullet with a mass ????=12.5 g and speed ????=86.4 m/s is fired into a wooden block with ????=113 g which is initially at rest

on a horizontal surface. The bullet is embedded into the block. The block-bullet combination slides across the surface for a distance ???? before stopping due to friction between the block and surface. The coefficients of friction are ????????=0.753 and ????????=0.659. (a) What is the speed (m/s) of the block-bullet combination immediately after the collision? (b) What is the distance d (m)?

Answer:

a) 8.61 m/s, b) 5.73 m

Explanation:

a) During the collision, momentum is conserved.

mv = (m + M) V

(12.5 g) (86.4 m/s) = (12.5 g + 113 g) V

V = 8.61 m/s

b) After the collision, energy is conserved.

Kinetic energy = Work done by friction

1/2 (m + M) V² = F d

1/2 (m + M) V² = N μk d

1/2 (m + M) V² = (m + M) g μk d

1/2 V² = g μk d

d = V² / (2g μk)

d = (8.61 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s² × 0.659)

d = 5.73 m

Notice we used the kinetic coefficient of friction.  That's the friction when an object is moving.  The static coefficient of friction is the friction on a stationary object.  Since the bullet/block combination is sliding across the surface, we use the kinetic coefficient.

A bus and a bicycle have a head-on collision. Compare the force of impact between the bus and the bicycle; compare the accelerat
kati45 [8]

The force of impact is same for both bus and the bicycle. The acceleration of bicycle will be greater than the acceleration of bus.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The interaction that occurs between two objects refers to collision. this makes the two objects to come in contact with each other. The third law of Newton states that, when there occurs a collision between two objects, then the force that is applied on each object will be same. But, the direct in which the force is impacted will be in opposite direction.

The magnitude of the forces will be equal but the direction will not be same. The collision results in gaining the momentum by one object and losing momentum by another. The acceleration is mainly associated with the mass of the object. When the object has smaller mass, it will be accelerated more. In the given example, as bus is heavier than bicycle, the bicycle will have greater acceleration than the bus.

A race car, traveling at constant speed, makes one lap around a circular track of radius 200 m. When the car has traveled halfwa
mario62 [17]

The magnitude of the displacement of the car from the starting point to halfway around the track is 256 m.

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the race track is a circular track, the distance for one lap will be equal to the circumference of the circular track. And the circumference will be equal to the circumference of the circle.

Since the radius of the track is given as 200 m, then the circumference of the circular track will be

Circumference = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 200

So the circumference of the circular track = 1256 m.

So the starting point or position of the track is considered as zero and if the car has traveled half way means, the car has covered half of the circumference of the track.

As the circumference = 1256 m, then half of the circumference of the circle = 1256/2 = 256 m.

So the displacement is the measure of difference between the final position and initial position. As here the initial position is zero and the final position is the halfway around the track which is equal to 256 m.

Then Displacement = Final-Initial = 256-0= 256 m.

So the magnitude of the displacement of the car from the starting point to halfway around the track is 256 m.

A beaker contains 450g of water at a temperature of 24C, The therman capacity of the beaker is negligible and no heat is gained
valentina_108 [34]
Given:

450 grams of water (Tw = 24 C) 
Thermal capacity of the beaker = negligible
Q = 0 
Tice = 0 C
Tfinal = 8 C

450g * (Tf - Tw) + m_ice * (Tice - Tw) = 0

450g * (8 - 24) + m_ice (0 - 24) = 0 

solve for m_ice
