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 radio wave has a speed of 3.00 x10^8 and a frequency of 100 MHz. What is the wavelength?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Wavelength of radio is wave is 3 m

Explanation:

Wavelength of radio is wave is

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v=3 \times 10^8 m\s\\f=100 Mhz

wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8}{100\times 10^6} \\\\\lambda=3 m\\

What are the differences and relationships between speed, velocity, and acceleration
melamori03 [73]

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.

A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails first up and then down past an open window. the pot was in view for a total of 0.49 s,
Alika [10]

For this case, let's assume that the pot spends exactly half of its time going up, and half going down, i.e. it is visible upward for 0.245 s and downward for 0.245 s. Let us take the bottom of the window to be zero on a vertical axis pointing upward. All calculations will be made in reference to this coordinate system. <span>

An initial condition has been supplied by the problem: 

s=1.80m when t=0.245s 

<span>This means that it takes the pot 0.245 seconds to travel upward 1.8m. Knowing that the gravitational acceleration acts downward constantly at 9.81m/s^2, and based on this information we can use the formula:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) 

to solve for v, the initial velocity of the pot as it enters the cat's view through the window. Substituting and solving (note that gravitational acceleration is negative since this is opposite our coordinate orientation): 

(1.8m)=(v)(0.245s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(0.245s)^2 

v=8.549m/s 

<span>Now we know the initial velocity of the pot right when it enters the view of the window. We know that at the apex of its flight, the pot's velocity will be v=0, and using this piece of information we can use the kinematic equation:

(v final)=(v initial)+(a)(t) 

to solve for the time it will take for the pot to reach the apex of its flight. Because (v final)=0, this equation will look like 

0=(v)+(a)(t) 

Substituting and solving for t: 

0=(8.549m/s)+(-9.81m/s^2)(t) 

t=0.8714s 

<span>Using this information and the kinematic equation we can find the total height of the pot’s flight:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) </span></span></span></span>

s=8.549m/s (0.8714s)-0.5(9.81m/s^2)(0.8714s)^2

s=3.725m<span>

This distance is measured from the bottom of the window, and so we will need to subtract 1.80m from it to find the distance from the top of the window: 

3.725m – 1.8m=1.925m</span>

 

Answer:

<span>1.925m</span>

Arocket launches at an angle of 33.6 degrees from the horizontal at a
babymother [125]

Answer:

Y component = 32.37

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of projection of the rocket is, \theta=33.6

Initial velocity of the rocket is, u=58.5

A vector at an angle \theta with the horizontal can be resolved into mutually perpendicular components; one along the horizontal direction and the other along the vertical direction.

If a vector 'A' makes angle \theta with the horizontal, then the horizontal and vertical components are given as:

A_x=A\cos \theta(\textrm{Horizontal or X component})\\A_y=A\sin \theta(\textrm{Vertical or Y component})

Here, as the velocity is a vector quantity and makes an angle of 33.6 with the horizontal, its Y component is given as:

u_y=u\sin \theta

Plug in the given values and solve for u_y. This gives,

u_y=(58.5)(\sin 33.6)\\u_y=58.5\times 0.55339\\u_y=32.373\approx32.37(\textrm{Rounded to two decimal places})

Therefore, the Y component of initial velocity is 32.37.
