A 0.0130-kg bullet is fired straight up at a falling wooden block that has a mass of 1.58 kg. The bullet has a speed of 843 m/s

when it strikes the block. The block originally was dropped from rest from the top of a building and had been falling for a time t when the collision with the bullet occurs. As a result of the collision, the block (with the bullet in it) reverses direction, rises, and comes to a momentary halt at the top of the building. Find the time t.

Answer:

0.352 s

Explanation:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2. Then the speed of the block after it's fall down a time t (seconds) before the collision is:

v_o = gt(0)

Using the law of momentum conservation, the total momentum of the system after the collision must be same as before the collision. Let the upward be the positive direction:

m_uv_u - m_ov_o = (m_u + m_o)v(1)

where m_u = 0.013 kg, v_u = 843 m/s are the mass and speed of the bullet prior to the impact. m_o = 1.58 kg is the mass of the block. v is the speed of the system after the impact. We will focus on v for the next part:

As the system raise and come to a momentarily halt on top of the building (speed at top v_t = 0 m/s), let the vertical distance travel be h (m). We have the following equation of motion

v_t^2 - v^2 = 2gh

0^2 - v^2 = 2gh

v = \sqrt{2gh}(2)

As h is the same vertical distance that the block has fallen before the collision, we can solve for h in term of t:

h = gt^2/2(3)

If we plug eq. (3) into (2):

v = \sqrt{g^2t^2} = gt (4)

And plug eq (4) and (0) into eq (1), with all the numbers:

0.013*843 - 1.58gt = (0.013 + 1.58)gt

10.959 = 3.173gt

t = \frac{10.959}{3.173*9.81} = 0.352 s

The lons entering the mass spectrometer have the same charges. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 8.20 kV
Ratling [72]

The calculated magnitude is  6.73 x 10³ V/m.

AMU is described as being one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom (12C). C makes up more than 98% of the carbon that can be found in nature, making it the most prevalent isotope. The magnitude of the field is the change in potential across a small distance in the indicated direction divided by that distance.

Potential difference = 8.20 kV= 8.20 x 10³ V

radius= 19.4/100=0.194 m

total distance that is circumference of the circle= 2πr =2 x 3.14 x 0.194

                                                                               = 1.218 m

therefore Magnitude= 8.20 x 10³ / 1.218

                                  =6.73 x 10³ V/m

What is the relationship between thickness of lens and focal length?​
Ymorist [56]

Thick lens will have shorter and consequently thin lens will have greater focal length. Because, For a thick lens, the optical path length of the light is more, than for a thin lens, thus, the bending of light will be more in case of a thicker lens. Consequently, it has a shorter focal length.

In one cycle, a heat engine takes in 1000 J of heat from a high-temperature reservoir, releases 600 J of heat to a lower-tempera
Talja [164]

Answer:

η = 40 %  

Explanation:

Given that

Qa ,Heat addition= 1000  J

Qr,Heat rejection= 600 J

Work done ,W= 400 J

We know that ,efficiency of a engine given as

\eta=\dfrac{W(net)}{Q(heat\ addition)}

Now by putting the values in the above equation ,then we get

\eta=\dfrac{400}{1000}

η = 0.4

The efficiency in percentage is given as

η = 0.4  x 100 %

η = 40 %

Therefore the answer will be 40%.

Which statement is true regarding flexibility? A. joint's range of motion cannot be maintained with age. b.A joint's range of mo
Alex777 [14]
<span>the statement that is true regarding flexibility is : b. a joint's range of motion will be lost if the joint is not used regularly. Our body is like a machine. If we not constantly heat it up, our body will be more prone to injury. We can see that the old people who lived within the tribe in the middle of the mountain are far stronger than the one who lived in the city.</span>

The earth's radius is 6.37×106m; it rotates once every 24 hours.What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

v = 120 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

earth's radius; r = 6.37 × 10^(6) m

Angular speed; ω = 2π/(24 × 3600) = 7.27 × 10^(-5) rad/s

Now, we want to find the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator.

The angle will be;

θ = ¾ × 90

θ = 67.5

¾ is multiplied by 90° because the angular distance from the pole is 90 degrees.

The speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator will be:

v = r(cos θ) × ω

v = 6.37 × 10^(6) × cos 67.5 × 7.27 × 10^(-5)

v = 117.22 m/s

Approximation to 2 sig. figures gives;

v = 120 m/s
