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!

What is the definition of visible white light wave (RoyGBive)
uranmaximum [27]

There's no such thing as a wave of white light.  Every light wave with
a certain wavelength has some color.  White light is a mixture of all
the different wavelengths with all of the different visible colors. 
They're ALL there in white light.  When they all enter your eye at
the same time, your brain gets the message of brightness with
no particular color, which we call "white light".

If a box is pulled with a force of 100 N at an angle of 25
love history [14]

The X and Y components of the force are 90.63 Newton and 42.26 Newton respectively.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Force = 100 Newton.
  • Angle of inclination = 25°

To determine the X and Y components of the force:

<h3>The horizontal component (X) of a force:</h3>

Mathematically, the horizontal component of a force is given by this formula:

F_x = Fcos \theta\\\\F_x =100 \times cos25\\\\F_x =100 \times 0.9063

Fx = 90.63 Newton.

<h3>The vertical component (Y) of tensional force:</h3>

Mathematically, the vertical component of a force is given by this formula:

F_y = Fsin \theta\\\\F_y =100 \times sin25\\\\F_y =100 \times 0.4226

Fy = 42.26 Newton.

n deep space, sphere A of mass 47 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass 110 kg is located on the axis at
Volgvan

Answer:

a)-1.014x 10^{-7J

b)3.296 x  10^{-7J

Explanation:

For Sphere A:

mass 'Ma'= 47kg

xa= 0

For sphere B:

mass 'Mb'= 110kg

xb=3.4m

a)the gravitational potential energy is given by

U_{i = -GMaMb/ d

U_{i= - 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 3.4 => -1.014x 10^{-7J

b) at d= 0.8m (3.4-2.6) and U_{i=-1.014x 10^{-7J

The sum of potential and kinetic energies must be conserved as the energy is conserved.

K_{i + U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

As sphere starts from rest and sphere A is fixed at its place, therefore K_{i is zero

U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

The final potential energy is

U_{f= - GMaMb/d

Solving for 'K_{f '

K_{f = U_{i + GMaMb/d => -1.014x 10^{-7 + 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 0.8

K_{f = 3.296 x  10^{-7J
