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

Suppose a 2.0kg bird is flying at a speed of of 1m/s. It’s kinetic energy would be what?
Ganezh [65]

As we know that the formula of kinetic energy will be

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

now here we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 1 m/s

so from the above equation we have

KE = \frac{1}{2}(2)(1^2)

KE = 1 J

Question: Is a flame matter?<br> .<br> Claim: (Write a statement that answers the question)
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. <em><u>The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.</u></em>

A mass on a spring A oscillates at twice the frequency of the same mass on spring B. Which statement is correct?A.The spring con
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

A.The spring constant for B is one quarter of the spring constant for A.

Explanation:

If spring A oscillates at twice the frequency of spring B, and period is frequency inverted. It means spring B has a period twice of spring A's.

T_B = 2T_A

As T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}, and the 2 springs have the same mass

2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k_B}} = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k_A}}

\sqrt{k_A} = 2\sqrt{B}

k_A = 4k_B

k_B = k_A/4

So A.The spring constant for B is one quarter of the spring constant for A. is the correct answer.

An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

The angular frequency, ω, of a loaded spring is related to the period, T,  by

\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}

The maximum velocity of the oscillation occurs at the equilibrium point and is given by

v = \omega A

A is the amplitude or maximum displacement from the equilibrium.

v = \dfrac{2\pi A}{T}

From the the question, T = 0.58 and A = 25 cm = 0.25 m. Taking π as 3.142,

v = \dfrac{2\times3.142\times0.25\text{ m}}{0.58\text{ s}} = 2.71 \text{ m/s}

To determine the height we reached, we consider the beginning of the vertical motion as the equilibrium point with velocity, v. Since it is against gravity, acceleration of gravity is negative. At maximum height, the final velocity is 0 m/s. We use the equation

v_f^2 = v_i^2+2ah

v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity (same as v above), a is acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

h = \dfrac{v_f^2 - v_i^2}{2a}

h = \dfrac{0^2 - 2.71^2}{2\times-9.81} = 0.37 \text{ m}
