Sledding down a hill, you are traveling at 10 m/s when you reach the bottom. You (inertia 80 kg ) then move across horizontal sn

ow toward a 400-kg boulder but jump off the sled (inertia 8.0 kg ) the instant before it hits the boulder. The boulder is sitting on very slick ice and moves freely when the sled hits it. The sled bounces back, moving at 6.0 m/s. At what speed does the boulder move after the sled hits it?

Answer:

V = 0.32 m /s

Explanation:

Momentum of the man on the sledge along with sledge

= (80+8) x 10 = 880 kg. m/s When the man jumps off the sledge , the velocity of the sledge will remain intact at 10 m/s

When the sledge hits the boulder and bounces back the momentum of the sledge - boulder system will remain conserved .

change in momentum of sledge = 8 x (10 +6 )

= 128  kg m/s

Change in the momentum of boulder

= 400 V -0

= 400V

400V = 128

V = 0.32 m /s

A bullet with a mass m b = 11.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity v b = 249 m/s. The block is attached to a spring tha
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.358Kg

Explanation:

The potential energy in the spring at full compression = the initial kinetic energy of the bullet/block system

0.5Ke^2 = 0.5Mv^2

0.5(205)(0.35)^2 = 12.56 J = 0.5(M + 0.0115)v^2

Using conservation of momentum between the bullet and the block

0.0115(265) = (M + 0.0115)v

3.0475 = (M + 0.0115)v

v = 3.0475/(M + 0.0115)

plugging into Energy equation

12.56 = 0.5(M + 0.0115)(3.0475)^2/(M + 0.0115)^2

12.56 = 0.5 × 3.0475^2 / ( M + 0.0115 )

12.56 = 0.5 × 9.2872/ M + 0.0115

12.56 = 4.6436/ M + 0.0115

12.56 ( M + 0.0115 ) = 4.6436

12.56M + 0.1444 = 4.6436

12.56M = 4.6436 - 0.1444

12.56 M = 4.4992

M = 4.4992÷12.56

M = 0.358 Kg

How do i figure out this question?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

0.75 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The formula for density:

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

Where m is the mass and V is the volume.

So, we can substitute values for m and V:

\rho = \frac{277}{370}\approx0.75

Therefore, the density is 0.75 g/cm^3 (watch the units!)
