specific gravity of the unknown sample = 2.68

Explanation:

True weight of solid=31.6 N

Apparent weight=19.8 N

loss in weight= 31.6-19.8=11.8 N

Loss in weight= weight of the liquid displaced

so weight of water displaced= 11.8 N

now specific gravity= weight of object/ weight of liquid displaced

specific gravity= 31.6/11.8

specific gravity= 2.68

A block of mass m=1.2 kg is held at rest against a spring with a force constant k=730N/m. Initially the spring is compressed a d
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

potential energy of compressed spring

= 1/2 k d²

= 1/2 x 730 d²

= 365 d²

This energy will be given to block of mass of 1.2 kg in the form of kinetic energy .

Kinetic energy after crossing the rough patch

= 1/2 x 1.2 x 2.3²

= 3.174 J

Loss of energy

= 365 d² - 3.174  

This loss is due to negative work done by frictional force

work done by friction = friction force x width of patch

= μmg d ,   μ = coefficient of friction , m is mass of block , d is width of patch

= .44 x 1.2 x 9.8 x .05

= .2587 J

365 d² - 3.174   = .2587

365 d² = 3.4327

d² = 3.4327 / 365

= .0094

d = .097 m

= 9.7 cm

If friction increases , loss of energy increases . so to achieve same kinetic energy , d will have to be increased so that initial energy increases so compensate increased loss .

A bullet of mass m=26g is fired into a wooden block of mass M=4.7kg. The block is attached to a string of length 1.5m. The bulle
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

u = 449 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the bullet, m = 26 g

Mass of the wooden block,M = 4.7 Kg

height of the block,h = 0.31 m

initial speed of the block, u = ?

Using conservation of energy

(M+ m)gh = \dfrac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2

gh = \dfrac{1}{2}v^2

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 0.31}

v = 2.47 m/s

Now, using conservation of momentum to calculate the speed of the bullet.

m u + M u' = (M+m)v

m u  = (M+m)v

0.026 x u  = (4.7+0.026) x 2.47

u = 449 m/s

Hence, the speed of the bullet is equal to 449 m/s.
