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

Yanka [14]

Answer:

h = 1.02 m

Explanation:

This is a fluid mechanics exercise, where the pressure is given by

       P = P_{atm} + ρ g h

The gauge pressure is

      P - P_{atm}  = ρ g h

In this case the upper part of the tube we have the atmospheric pressure. and the diver can exert a pressure 10 KPa below the outside pressure, this must be the gauge pressure

     P_{m} =    P - P_{atm}

     P_{m} = ρ g h

     h =P_{m} / ρ g

calculate

     h = 10 103 / (1000 9.8)

     h = 1.02 m

This is the depth at which man can breathe

A seesaw is 4.0m long with a pivot at its midpoint. A boy who weighs 400N sits at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot. His sister
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the seesaw, L = 4.0 m

weight of the boy, W₁ = 400 N

position of the boy from the pivot, d₁ = 1.5 m

weight of her sister, W₂ = 300 N

First, make a sketch of this information given;

                 0---0.5m---------------------Δ--------------------------4m

                         ↓<--------1.5m-------> <---------x--------->↓

                        400 N                                          300N

Apply the principle of moment about the pivot, to determine the value of x;

Sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

400(1.5) = 300(x)

600 = 300x

x = 600/300

x = 2 cm

Thus, the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Raising 100 grams of water from 40 to 60 °C (the specific heat capacity of water is 1
ANTONII [103]
C. 2000 calories.

Explanation/calculation:

Specific heat capacity = calories / mass * (final temperature - initial temperature)

1 = calories / 100 * (60 - 40)
1 = calories / 100 * 20
1 * (100 * 20) = calories
1 * 2000 = calories
2000 = calories
