Answer:
The rise in height of combined block/bullet from its original position is 0.45m
Explanation:
Given;
mass of bullet, m₁ = 12 g = 0.012 kg
mass of block of wood, m₂ = 1 kg
initial speed of bullet, u₁ = 250 m/s.
initial speed of block of wood, u₂ = 0
From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, calculate the final speed of the combined block/bullet system.
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁+m₂)
where;
v is the final speed of the combined block/bullet system.
0.012 x 250 + 0 = v (0.012 + 1)
3 = v (1.012)
v = 3/1.012
v = 2.96 m/s
From the principle of conservation of energy, calculate the rise in height of the block/bullet combined from its original position.
¹/₂mv² = mgh
¹/₂v² = gh
¹/₂ (2.96)² = (9.8)h
4.3808 = 9.8h
h = 4.3808/9.8
h = 0.45 m
Therefore, the rise in height of combined block/bullet from its original position is 0.45m
The answer is true as gravity is powerful than any other force
Answer:
the value of force, F=4.0N
Explanation:
Firstly, recall velocity-time equation
- v=u+at
- (4)=(2)+a(5)
- a=0.4m/s²
Secondly, recall the Newton's 2nd Law
- <em>F</em><em>=</em><em>ma</em>
- <em>F</em><em>=</em><em>(</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>)</em><em>(</em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>4</em><em>)</em>
- <em>F</em><em>=</em><em>4</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>N</em>
Answer:
The value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m
Explanation:
Given;
equilibrium length of the spring, L = 10.0 cm
new length of the spring, L₀ = 14 cm
applied force on the spring, F = 40 N
extension of the spring due to applied force, e = L₀ - L = 14 cm - 10 cm = 4 cm
From Hook's law
Force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
F ∝ e
F = ke
where;
k is the spring constant
k = F / e
k = 40 / 0.04
k = 1000 N/m
Therefore, the value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m
