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

Which of the following is true about a rigid body in dynamic equilibrium? The body can have translational motion, but it cannot
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "The rigid body can have rotational and transnational motion, as long as it's transnational and angular accelerations are equal to zero."

Explanation:

A rigid body by definition does not deform when forces act on it. In case of static equilibrium a rigid body cannot have any sort of motion while in case of dynamic equilibrium it can move but with constant velocities only thus having no acceleration weather transnational or angular.

Rafael is driving his car at 26 m/s. What is the shortest distance in which he can brake and stop if the coefficient of static f
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

86.14 meters.

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

velocity of car = 26 m/s

the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road

µ = 0.4 (kinetic)

Let us take g = 9.81 m/s^2

Required

The distance x = distance in m

We know that

N = Fg = mg\\\\F_\mu  = -\mu N = \mu F_g = \mu mg\\\\KE = (1/2) mv^2

W = F*x  (Work is force times distance)

Step two:

Conservation of energy gives  

KE = W

Substituting gives  

(1/2) mv^2 = F \mu x\\\\(1/2) mv^2 = \mu mgx\\\\mv^2 = 2 \mu mgx

Solving for distance (x) gives  

x = mv^2  / 2 \mu mg

Simplifying

x = v^2 / 2 \mu g

Substitute:  

x = v^2 / 2 \mu g

x= 26^2/2*0.4*9.81

x=676/7.848\\\\x=86.14

Therefore, the minimum braking distance is 86.14 meters.
