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!

Gayle runs at a speed of 3.85 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After s
enot [183]

Answer:

Final velocity at the bottom of hill is 15.56 m/s.

Explanation:

The given problem can be divided into four parts:

1. Use conservation of momentum to determine the speed of the combined mass (Gayle and sled)

From the law of conservation of momentum (perfectly inelastic collision), the combined velocity is given as:  

p_i = p_f  

m_1u_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

v = \frac{(m_1u_1 + m_2v_2)}{(m_1 + m_2)}

v=\frac{[50.0\ kg)(3.85\ m/s) + 0]}{(50.0\ kg + 5.00\ kg)}= 3.5\ m/s  

2. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed after traveling a vertical height of 5 m.

The velocity of Gayle and sled at the instant her brother jumps on is found from the law of conservation of energy:  

E(i) = E(f)  

KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)  

0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)  

v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]}

Here, initial velocity is the final velocity from the first stage. Therefore:  

v(f) = \sqrt{[(3.5)^2+2(9.8)(5.00-0)]}= 10.5\ m/s

3. Use conservation of momentum to find the combined speed of Gayle and her brother.  

Given:

Initial velocity of Gayle and sled is, u_1(i)=10.5 m/s

Initial velocity of her brother is, u_2(i)=0 m/s

Mass of Gayle and sled is, m_1=55.0 kg

Mass of her brother is, m_2=30.0 kg

Final combined velocity is given as:

v(f) = \frac{[m_1u_1(i) + m_2u_2(i)]}{(m_1 + m_2)}  

v(f)=\frac{[(55.0)(10.5) + 0]}{(55.0+30.0)}= 6.79 m/s  

4. Finally, use conservation of energy to determine the final speed at the bottom of the hill.

Using conservation of energy, the final velocity at the bottom of the hill is:  

E(i) = E(f)  

KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)  

0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)  

v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]} \\v(f)=\sqrt{[(6.79)^2 + 2(9.8)(15 - 5.00)]}\\v(f)= 15.56\ m/s

If 20 beats are produced within a single second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves tr
zhuklara [117]

The correct choice is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

In fact, the beat frequency is given by the difference between the frequencies of the two waves:

f_B = |f_1 -f_2|

In this problem, the beat frequency is f_B=20 Hz, therefore the only pair of frequencies that gives a difference equal to 20 Hz is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.
