The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a projectile such as a bullet. The projectile of mass m is fired

into a large block of wood or other material of mass M which is suspended like a pendulum. As a result of the collision, the pendulum and projectile together swing up to a maximum height ℎ. Determine the relationship between the initial horizontal speed v of the projectile and the maximum height ℎ.

Answer:

Relation between initial speed of bullet and height h is given as

v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}

Explanation:

As we know that system of block and bullet swings up to height h after collision

So we have

(m + M)gh = \frac{1}{2}(m + M)v_1^2

so we have

v_1 = \sqrt{2gh}

so speed of the block + bullet just after the impact is given by above equation

Now we also know that there is no force on the system of bullet + block in the direction of motion

So we can use momentum conservation

mv = (m + M)v_1

now we have

v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}

Carlos gives a grocery cart a 60-N push. The cart has a mass of 40 kg. What is the cart's acceleration?
andre [41]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.5 m/s²

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Force as 60 N

Mass of the Cart as 40 kg

We are required to calculate the acceleration of the cart.

  • From the newton's second law of motion, the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the resultant force.
  • That is, F = ma , where m is the mass and a is the acceleration

Rearranging the formula we can calculate acceleration, a

a = F ÷ m

  = 60 N ÷ 40 kg

  = 1.5 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 1.5 m/s²

A 20-turn coil of area 0.32 m2 is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.055 T so that the perpendicular to the plane of the co
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

1.5 * 10^-2 Tm^2

Explanation:

Electric Flux = B.A cos(theta)

B = 0.055 T

A = 0.32 m^2

theta = 30

Electric Flux = (0.055 T).(0.32 m^2).Cos(30) = 0.0152 = 1.5 * 10^-2 Tm^2

What does -9.8 m/s mean? And what does it mean if something has a negative velocity?
a_sh-v [17]

I can't guess what -9.8 m/s means until you tell me where it came from,
or what 'm/s' means.

If perhaps it has something to do with the acceleration of gravity on Earth,
then the correct figure is ' -9.8 m/s² '.  That means that any object that
has no other force acting on it except gravity has its speed changing by
9.8 meters per second every second.  Since it's gravity doing the job,
then the object's speed is either increasing down, or decreasing up. 

If an object has negative velocity, then it's moving in the direction opposite
to the direction that you decided to call positive when you started doing the
problem.

For example, if you decide that up is positive and down is negative, and
then somebody drops a stone from the top of a tall building, then the
gravitational force on the stone is negative (pointing down), its velocity
is negative (it's falling towards down), and its acceleration is negative (its
speed towards down is getting faster and faster).  Everything is negative,
only because you decided that up is positive and down is negative.  It's
nothing to be worried about.
