A 4.10 g bullet moving at 837 m/s strikes a 820 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling

in the same direction with its speed reduced to 467 m/s. (a) What is the resulting speed of the block? (b) What is the speed of the bullet-block center of mass?

Answer:

(a) 1.85 m/s

(b) 4.1 m/s

Explanation:

Data

  • bullet mass, Mb = 4.10 g
  • initial bullet velocity, Vbi = 837 m/s
  • wooden block mass, Mw = 820 g
  • initial wooden block  velocity, Vwi = 0 m/s
  • final bullet velocity, Vbf = 467 m/s

(a) From the conservation of momentum:

Mb*Vbi + Mw*Vwi = Mb*Vbf + Mw*Vwf

Mb*(Vbi - Vbf)/Mw = Vwf

4.1*(837 - 467)/820 = Vwf

Vwf = 1.85 m/s

(b) The speed of the center of mass speed is calculated as follows:

V = Mb/(Mb + Mw) * Vbi

V = 4.1/(4.1 + 820) * 837

V = 4.1 m/s

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

distance between two crests = 8 m

The distance between the two crests is called wavelength.

So, wavelength, λ = 8 m

frequency = 2 Hz

Let v be the velocity of wave.

v = f x λ

v = 2 x 8

v = 16 m/s

There are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram. if a boys mass is 40kg, what is his height in pounds?
sasho [114]
The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this- 

\frac{1}{2.2} = \frac{40}{x}

Solve for x by using cross multiplication.

40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88

Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.

A mechanic uses a wrench that is 22 cm long to tighten a spark plug. If the mechanic exerts a force of 58 N to the end of the wr
Licemer1 [7]

The maximum torque she can apply to the spark plug is 12.76 Nm.

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force obtained by taking the product of force and the radius of the applied force.

τ = Fr

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • r is the radius

The maximum torque she can apply to the spark plug is calculated as follows;

τ = 58 x (0.22)

τ = 12.76 Nm

Thus, the maximum torque she can apply to the spark plug is 12.76 Nm.
