The emerging velocity of the bullet is <u>71 m/s.</u>

The bullet of mass <em>m</em> moving with a velocity <em>u</em>  has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed <em>v</em> when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force <em>F</em> on the bullet and the thickness of the block is <em>x</em> then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

W=Fx

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

W=Fx=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v^2)......(1)

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v<em>₁.</em>

Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

F(\frac{x}{2} )=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v_1^2)......(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v<em>₁.</em>

\frac{\frac{Fx}{2} }{Fx} =\frac{(u^2-v_1^2)}{(u^2-v^2)} \\\frac{100^2-v_1^2}{100^2-10^2} =\frac{1}{2} \\v_1^2=5050\\v_1=71.06 m/s

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s

How long does it take a microwave of power 0.2kW to sue 10000 J of energy
olasank [31]

Answer:

50s .

Explanation:

\frak{\pink{Given}}\begin{cases}\textsf{ The power of microvave is 0.2kW .}\\\textsf{ Amount of energy is 10000 J .}\end{cases}

Here the power of the microwave is 0.2kW . And as we know that ,

  • Rate of doing work is called power .

So from the definition , we have ;

\sf\longrightarrow Power =\dfrac{Work}{time}

  • Here the work done is equal to the energy consumed by the microwave i.e. 10000 J .So we can write it as ,

\sf\longrightarrow Power =\dfrac{Energy}{time}

\sf\longrightarrow 0.2kW = \dfrac{10^4 J }{t} \\

\sf\longrightarrow 0.2 * 1000 W =  \dfrac{10^4 J }{t}

Cross multiply ,

\sf\longrightarrow t = \dfrac{ 10^4 }{ 0.2 * 10^3}s=\dfrac{10^4}{2*10^2} s

Simplify ,

\sf\longrightarrow \boxed{\bf t = 50s}

<h3>Hence the time taken is 50s .</h3>
