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!

A 2kg toy car traveling at 2m/s strikes a second toy car at rest. The mass of the second toy car is 3. The two stock together an
Nutka1998 [239]
Mass of first car = Initial mass (Mi) = 2 kg
Initial velocity (Vi) = 2 m/s

Mass of both cars together = Final mass (Mf) = 2 + 3 kg = 5 kg
Final Velocity (Vf) = ?

Applying law of conservation of momentum,

Mi x Vi = Mf x Vf
2 x 2 = 5 x Vf
Vf = 4/5 = 0.8 m/s

A 7.0kg object rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. What is the magnitude of the horizontal
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

16.1 N

Explanation:

From the question,

F = ma.............................. Equation 1

Where F = horizontal force, m = mass of the object, a = acceleration .

Given: m = 7.0 kg, a = 2.3 m/s²

Substitute this values into equation 1

F = (7.0×2.3)

F = 16.1 N.

Hence the magnitude of the horizontal force is 16.1 N

A speed-time graph is shown below:
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

It traveled 4 centimeters.

Explanation:

In a speed versus time graph, the distance travelled is given by the area under the graph.

In this graph we have the following:

- The speed of the object is v = 1 cm/s between time t = 0 s and t = 4 s

- The speed of the object is v = 0 cm/s between time t = 4 s and t = 8 s

Since the speed in the second part is zero, the distance travelled in the second part is zero. So, the only distance travelled by the object is the distance travelled during the first part, which is equal to the area of the first rectangle:

d=v\Delta t=(1)(4-0)=4 cm
