How many minutes in a century?

a ballistic pendulum is used to measure the speed of high-speed projectiles. A 6 g bullet A is fired into a 1 kg wood block B su

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

(a) v-bullet = 399.04 m/s

(b) I = 2.38 kg m/s

(c) T = 2.59 N

Explanation:

(a) To calculate the initial speed of the bullet, you first take into account that the kinetic energy of both wood block and bullet, just after the bullet impacts the block, is equal to the potential gravitational energy of block and bullet when the cord is at 60° respect to the vertical.

The potential energy is given by:

$U=(M+m)gh$ (1)

U: potential energy

M: mass of the wood block = 1 kg

m: mass of the bullet = 6g = 6.0*10^-3 kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

h: distance to the ground

The distance to the ground is calculate d by using the information about the length of the cord and the degrees of the cord respect to the vertical:

$h=l-lsin\theta\\\\h=2.2m-2,2m\ sin60\°=0.29m$

The potential energy is:

$U=(1kg+6*10^{-3}kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.29m)=2.85J$

Next, the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy of the block and the bullet at the beginning of its motion:

$U=\frac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2\frac{U}{M+m}}=\sqrt{2\frac{2.85J}{1kg+6*10^{-3}kg}}=2.38\frac{m}{s}$

Next, you use the momentum conservation law, in order to calculate the speed of the bullet before the impact:

$Mv_1+mv_2=(M+m)v$ (2)

v1: initial velocity of the wood block = 0m/s

v2: initial speed of the bullet

v: speed of bullet and block = 2.38m/s

You solve the equation (2) for v2:

$M(0)+mv_2=(M+m)v$

$v_2=\frac{M+m}{m}v=\frac{1kg+6*10^{-3}kg}{6*10^{-3}kg}(2.38m/s)\\\\v_2=399.04\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the bullet before the impact with the wood block is 399.04 m/s

(b) The impulse is gibe by the change in the velocity of the block, multiplied by the mass of the block:

$I=M\Delta v=M(v-v_1)=(1kg)(2.38m/s-0m/s)=2.38kg\frac{m}{s}$

The impulse is 2.38 kgm/s

(c) The force on the cord after the impact is equal to the centripetal force over the block and bullet. That is:

$T=F_c=(M+m)\frac{v^2}{l}=(1.006kg)\frac{(2.38m/s)^2}{2.2m}=2.59N$

The force on the cord after the impact is 2.59N

A calorimeter directly measures ______ in order to calculate ______. (1 point)

Aneli [31]

The complete sentence is:

A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.

In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!

Eddi Din [679]

It would be D. Anthony has more power than Angel. They both do the same amount of work, because it is the same weight over the same distance. Power is calculated by dividing work by time. Since the amount of work they did is the same but Anthony did that amount of work in less time, he would have more power.
