A rifle bullet with mass 8.00g strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal s

urface. The block is attached to a coil spring. The impact compresses the spring 15.0cm. Calibration of the spring shows that a force of 0.75N is required to compress the spring 0.25cm. Find the magnitude of the block\'s velocity just after the impact. What is the initial speed of the bullet?

Answer:

block velocity   v = 0.09186 = 9.18 10⁻² m/s  and speed bollet   v₀ = 11.5 m / s

Explanation:

We will solve this problem using the concepts of the moment, let's try a system formed by the two bodies, the bullet and the block; In this system all scaffolds during the crash are internal, consequently, the moment is preserved.

Let's write the moment in two moments before the crash and after the crash, let's call the mass of the bullet (m) and the mass of the Block (M)

Before the crash

     p₀ = m v₀ + 0

After the crash

   p_{f} = (m + M) v

    p₀ = p_{f}

    m v₀ = (m + M) v                    (1)

Now let's lock after the two bodies are joined, in this case the mechanical energy is conserved, write it in two moments after the crash and when you have the maximum compression of the spring

Initial

    Em₀ = K = ½ m v2

Final

    E m_{f}= Ke = ½ k x2

   Emo = E m_{f}

   ½ m v² = ½ k x²

   v² = k/m  x²

Let's look for the spring constant (k), with Hook's law

   F = -k x

   k = -F / x

   k = - 0.75 / -0.25

   k = 3 N / m

Let's calculate the speed

  v = √(k/m)   x

  v = √ (3/8.00)   0.15

  v = 0.09186 = 9.18 10⁻² m/s

This is the spped of  the  block  plus bullet rsystem right after the crash

We substitute calculate in equation  (1)

   m v₀ = (m + M) v

  v₀ = v (m + M) / m

  v₀ = 0.09186 (0.008 + 0.992) /0.008

  v₀ = 11.5 m / s

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Sound waves are not able to travel in a vacuum, sound requires a medium such as air or a solid for example.  Satellites are indeed in space, but radio waves are not sound waves they are a form of light.  Light can travel in a vacuum so the messages that satellites beam back to Earth are light waves not sound waves, that is why it is possible.

Scilla [17]
-- Momentum is (mass) x (speed). 
Object B has 1.5 times as much momentum as Object A has.

-- Kinetic energy is (1/2) x (mass) x (speed) . 
Object B has 1.5 times as much kinetic energy as Object A has.

-- If they would both stop long enough to get on the scale,
Object B would weigh 1.5 times as much as Object A does.
