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

The amount of air resistance acting on an object depends on the objects
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Shape of the object

Explanation:

This depends on the shape of the object. For a spherical object, a unitless value of 0.47 is typical. The magnitude of the velocity squared. The faster you go, the greater the air resistance force

Two forces are applied on a body. One produces a force of 480-N directly forward while the other gives a 513-N force at 32.4-deg
n200080 [17]

Answer:

F = (913.14 , 274.87 )

|F| = 953.61 direction 16.71°

Explanation:

To calculate the resultant force you take into account both x and y component of the implied forces:

\Sigma F_x=480N+513Ncos(32.4\°)=913.14N\\\\\Sigma F_y=513sin(32.4\°)=274.87N

Thus, the net force over the body is:

F=(913.14N)\hat{i}+(274.87N)\hat{j}

Next, you calculate the magnitude of the force:

F=\sqrt{(913.14N)+(274.87N)^2}=953.61N

and the direction is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{274.14N}{913.14N})=16.71\°
