Answer:

The bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bullet, m_b=11\ g=0.011\ kg

Mass of the pendulum, m_p=19\ kg

The center of mass of the pendulum rises a vertical distance of 10 cm.

We need to find the bullet's initial speed if it is assumed that the bullet remains embedded in the pendulum. Let it is v. In this case, the energy of the system remains conserved. The kinetic energy of the bullet gets converted to potential energy for the whole system. So,

\dfrac{1}{2}(m_b+m_p)V^2 =(m_b+m_p)gh\\\\V=\sqrt{2gh} \ .................(1)

V is the speed of the bullet and pendulum at the time of collision

Now using conservation of momentum as :

m_bv=(m_p+m_b)V

Put the value of V from equation (1) in above equation as :

v=\dfrac{(m_p+m_b)}{m_b}\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\dfrac{(1.9+0.011)}{0.011}\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.1}\\\\v=243.21\ m/s

So, the bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.

Answer: Create a hypothesis

Explanation:

From the information given, information has been gathered and the identification to ascertain if there's a change. Then, an hypothesis has to be created in order to know what the problem is.

One has to carry out some research in order to know what went wrong and should also validate the hypothesis by consulting with ones peers. By doing this, the most likely causes of the issues will be gotten.

Between 1911 and 1990, the top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of 1.2 mm/y.T
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Angular speed, \omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s

Explanation:

It is given that,    

The top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of, v = 1.2 mm/yr

1\ mm/yr=3.171\times 10^{-11}\ m/s

Velocity, v=3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s

Height of the tower, h = 55 m

The height of the tower is equivalent to the radius. Let \omega is the angular speed of the tower’s top about its base. The relation between the angular speed and the angular speed is given by :

v=r\omega

\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}

\omega=\dfrac{3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s}{55\ m}

\omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s

So, the average angular speed of the tower’s top about its base is 6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
