A small wooden block with mass 0.750 kg is suspended from the lower end of a light cord that is 1.72 m long. The block is initia

lly at rest. A bullet with mass 0.0100 kg is fired at the block with a horizontal velocity v0. The bullet strikes the block and becomes embedded in it. After the collision the combined object swings on the end of the cord. When the block has risen a vertical height of 0.800 m, the tension in the cord is 4.86 N.
What was the initial speed v0 of the bullet?

Answer:

v_{0}=319.2 m/s    

Explanation:

We need to use the momentum and energy conservation.

p_{0}}=p_{f}

mv_{0}=(m+M)V_{1}

Where:

  • m is the mass of bullet (m=0.01 kg)
  • M is the mass of the wooden (M=0.75 kg)
  • v(0) initial velocity of bullet
  • V(1) is the velocity of the combined object in the moment the bullet hist the block

Conservation of energy.

We have kinetic energy at first and kinetic and potential energy at the end.            

(1/2)(m+M)V_{1}^{2}=(1/2)(m+M)V_{2}^{2}+(m+M)gh

Here:

  • V(1) is the velocity of the combined at the initial position
  • h is the vertical height ( h = 0.800 m)

We can find V(2) using the definition of force at this point:

\Sigma F=(m+M)a_{c}=(m+M)(V_{2}^{2}/R)

T-(m+M)gcos(\theta)=(m+M)a_{c}=(m+M)(V_{2}^{2}/R)

cos(\theta) =(L-h)/L=(1.72-0.8)/1.72

\theta =57.66

Now, we can solve the equation to find V(2)

V_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{R*(T-(m+M)*g*cos(\theta))}{(m+M)}}

V_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{1.72*(4.86-(0.01+0.75)*9.81*cos(57.66))}{(0.01+0.75)}}

V_{2}=1.40 m/s        

Now we can find V(1) using the conservation of energy equation

(1/2)V_{1}^{2}=(1/2)V_{2}^{2}+gh

V_{1}=\sqrt{V_{2}^{2}+2gh}

V_{1}=\sqrt{1.40^{2}+2*9.81*0.8}          

V_{1}=4.20 m/s        

Finally, using the momentum equation we find v(0)

v_{0}=\frac{(m+M)V_{1}}{m}                

v_{0}=\frac{(0.01+0.75)*4.20}{0.01}

v_{0}=319.2 m/s        

I hope it helps you!

lianna [129]

Answer:

Their efforts would be expressed in units of Joules per second

Explanation:

The unit of their efforts can be derived from the formula of power which is given by the product of mass, acceleration and distance (the product is energy with unit joules) divided by time taken to complete the task (unit is seconds)

Therefore, the unit of their efforts would be joules per second

Fernanda is working on a physics project. she is experimenting by rolling a marble down a ramp and then seeing how far it rolls
Ratling [72]

The distance covered on the floor after leaving the ramp is the dependent variable.

  • As a result of the marble's size, the substance it is constructed of, and the angle at which it is placed onto the ground, the distance it rolls varies.
  • Therefore, the angle at which the marble is released onto the ground, the type of material used to make the stone, or its size can all be considered independent variables.
<h3>What is Independent variable?</h3>
  • There are independent and dependent variables in every experiment.
  • A variable is considered independent if its change is not influenced by the change in another variable or factor.
<h3>What is Dependent variable?</h3>

In any experiment, the dependent variable must be measured or determined, and it must change as the independent variable does.

What should you avoid doing to ensure your<br> farming practises were sustainable?
saw5 [17]
Sustainable crops are grown in a different manner from industrial crops. Sustainable crop farmers focus on ensuring that their farming practices can be sustained over time and do not cause undue damage to the environment.  

•Minimal to No Pesticide Use
•Limit Environmental Damage
•Focus on Soil Health
•Sustainable Seed and Plant Varieties

Mildred takes a pound of frozen hamburger meat out of the freezer and puts it into the refrigerator.
Hatshy [7]
The meat in the freezer is frozen. 
Everything else in the freezer is frozen too. 
Nothing in the refrigerator is frozen. 
The freezer is colder than the refrigerator.  <span>

Mildred takes a pound of frozen hamburger meat out of the freezer
and puts it into the refrigerator.  The meat is colder than anything
else that's in there.

Heat flows from the air in the refrigerator into the frozen hamburger (C)
and warms up the meat.  When the temperature of the meat warms up
to the temperature of the air in the refrigerator, the heat stops flowing.</span>
