Answer:
The value is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the bullet is
The mass of the wood is
The height attained by the combined mass is
Generally according to the law of energy conservation
Here is the kinetic energy of the bullet before collision.
and is the potential energy of the combined mass of bullet and wood at the height h which is mathematically represented as
So
=>
Answer:
The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds
The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s
The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward
The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal
Explanation:
A ball is thrown horizontally
That means the vertical component of the initial velocity
The initial velocity is the horizontal component
The ball is thrown from the top of a 60 m
That means the vertical displacement component y = 60 m
→ y = t +
gt²
where g is the acceleration of gravity and t is the time
y = -60 m , g = -9.8 m/s² ,
Substitute these values in the rule
→ -60 = 0 + (-9.8)t²
→ -60 = -4.9t²
Divide both sides by -4.9
→ 12.2449 = t²
Take √ for both sides
∴ t = 3.5 seconds
* <em>The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds </em>
The initial velocity is the horizontal component
The ball lands 100 meter from the base of the building
That means the horizontal displacement x = 100 m
→ x = t
→ t = 3.5 s , x = 100 m
Substitute these values in the rule
→ 100 = (3.5)
Divide both sides by 3.5
→ = 28.57 m/s
<em>The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s</em>
The vertical component of the final velocity is
→ =
+ gt
→ = 0 , g = -9.8 m/s² , t = 3.5 s
Substitute these values in the rule
→ = 0 + (-9.8)(3.5)
→ = -34.3 m/s
<em>The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward</em>
The final velocity v is the resultant vector of and
→ Its magnetude is
→ Its direction
→ = 28.6 ,
= -34.3
Substitute this values in the rules above
→
→ Its direction
The negative sign means the direction is below the horizontal
<em>The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal</em>
