A 12.0-g bullet is fi red horizontally into a 100-g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact, the bl

ock slides 7.5 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.650, what was the speed of the bullet immediately before impact?

Answer:

$v_1 = 91.3 m/s$

Explanation:

By energy conservation and work energy theorem we can say that after bullet hits the block, it will move on the rough floor and comes to rest

so here work done by frictional force = change in kinetic energy

so we know that

$W_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

$-\mu mg d = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)$

$-0.650(9.81)(7.5) = \frac{1}{2}(0 - v_i^2)$

$47.8 = \frac{1}{2}v^2$

$v = 9.78 m/s$

now by momentum conservation we have

$m_1 v_1 = (m_1 + m_2) v$

$12 v_1 = (100 + 12) 9.78$

$v_1 = 91.3 m/s$

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t

netineya [11]

Here we have mass that moves at ceratin speed. This means that we have momentum. The law that must be observed is law of conservation of momentum. It states that momentum before certain event is equal to a momentum after that event. Here we have three masses so we can write this as:
$m_{1} v_{1i} + m_{2} v_{2i} + m_{3} v_{3i} = m_{1} v_{1f} + m_{2} v_{2f} + m_{3} v_{3f}$
Before the firecracker blows a coconut does not move, so left side is equal to 0:
$0 = m_{1} v_{1f} + m_{2} v_{2f} + m_{3} v_{3f}$

We know that m1=m2=m and m3=2m. Also we are asked to find v3f so we can rewrite formula:
$v_{3f} = - \frac{m_{1} v_{1f} + m_{2} v_{2f} }{ m_{3} }$

We must take in consideration that two parts with same mass do not move in same direction. The center of mass of these two parts moves between them at angle of 45° with respect to both south and west. The speed of a center of mass is:
$v_{f} = \sqrt{ v_{1f}^{2}+ v_{2f}^{2} } \\ \\ v_{f} = 33.9m/s$
This speed we can insert into formula for v3f:
$v_{3f} = - \frac{m*33.9+m*33.9 }{ 2m } \\ \\ v_{3f} = - \frac{2m*33.9 }{ 2m } \\ \\ v_{3f} = - 33.9m/s$

We can see that part of a coconut with biggest mass has same speed as center of mass of two other parts. Negative sign shows that direction is opposite to direction of two pats. Biggest part moves towards north-east.

Two identical conducting spheres, having charges of opposite sign, attract each otherwith a force of 0.108 n when separated by 5

lisov135 [29]

Let's start from the final situation. After the two spheres are connected with the conducting wire, the total charge distributes equally between the two spheres (because they are identical). We can call the charge on each sphere $Q/2$ , with Q being the total charge.
The electrostatic force in this situation is 0.0360 N, so we can write
$F=k \frac{( \frac{Q}{2} )^2}{r^2}$
where k is the Coulomb's constant and $r=50.0 cm=0.50 m$ is the separation between the two spheres. Using F=0.0360 N, we can find the value of Q, the total charge shared between the two spheres:
$Q= \sqrt{ \frac{4Fr^2}{k} } = \sqrt{ \frac{4(0.0360 N)(0.50 m)^2}{8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}} }=2.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C$

Now let's go back to the initial situation, before the conducting wire was attached; in this situation, the two spheres have a charge of $q_1$ and $q_2$ , whose sum is Q:
$Q=q_1 + q_2$
The electrostatic force between the two spheres in the initial situation is:
$F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$
And since we know F=0.108 N, we find
$q_1 q_2 = \frac{Fr^2}{k} = \frac{(0.108 N)(0.50 m)^2}{8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2}}=3.0 \cdot 10^{-12} C$
But the problem tells us that the two spheres have charges of opposite sign, so we must put a negative sign:
$-3.0 \cdot 10^{-12} C = q_1 q_2$

So now we have basically a system of 2 equations:
$2.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C = Q = q_1 + q_2$
$-3.0 \cdot 10^{-12} C = q_1 q_2$
If we solve it, we find the initial charge on the two spheres:
$q_1 = -1 \cdot 10^{-6}C$
$q_2 = +3 \cdot 10^{-6 } C$
