In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second project

ile (of the same mass) causes the the pendulum to swing twice as high, h2 = 5.2 cm.
The second projectile was how many times faster than the first?

Answer:

  Second  projectile is 1.4 times faster than first projectile.

Explanation:

By linear momentum conservation

Pi = Pf

m x U + M x 0 = (m + M) x V

U= \dfrac{(m + M)\times V}{m}

Now Since this projectile + pendulum system rises to height 'h', So using energy conservation:

KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf

PEi = 0, at reference point

KEf = 0, Speed of system zero at height 'h'

KEi = \dfrac{(m + M)\times V^2}{2}

PEf = (m + M) g h

So,

\dfrac{(m + M)\times V^2}{2} + 0 = 0+ (m + M) g h

V =\sqrt {2gh}

So from above value of V

Initial velocity of projectile =U

U=\dfrac{(M+m)\sqrt{2gh}}{m}

Now Since mass of projectile and pendulum are constant, So Initial velocity of projectile is proportional to the square root of height swung by pendulum.

Which means

\dfrac{U_2}{U_1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{h_2}{h_1}}

U_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{h_2}{h_1}}\times U_1

U_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{5.2}{2.6}}\times U_1

U₂ = 1.41 U₁

Therefore we can say that ,Second  projectile is 1.4 times faster than first projectile.

A 3.2-kg thin, circular hoop with a radius of 5.4 m is rotating about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its plane.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Torque = –207.4 Nm

Explanation:

Given M = 3.2kg, r = 5.4m, α = –12rad/s² (it is slowing down)

Torque = I × α

α = angular acceleration

I = moment of inertia

I = MR² for a circular hoop

Torque = 3.2×5.4×(– 12)

Torque = –207.4 Nm

How many coulombs of positive charge are there in 47.0 gm of plutonium, given its atomic mass is 244 and that each plutonium ato
enot [183]

Answer:

  • 1.78×10⁶ C

Explanation:

Using the atomic mass of pluonium atoms (244 g/mol), you can calculate the number of atoms in 47.0 g. Then, knowing that each plutonium atom has 96 protons, you calculate the number of protons in the 47.0 g sample. Finally, using the positive charge of one proton, you calculate the total positive charge in the 47.0 g of plutonium.

<u>1. Number of atoms of plutonium in 47.0 g</u>

  • Number of moles = mass / atomic mass = 47.0 g / 244 = 0.1926 moles

  • Number of atoms = number of moles × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol

  • Number of atoms = 0.1926 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol = 1.15998×10²³ atoms

<u>2. Number of protons</u>

  • Number of protons = 1.15998×10²³ atoms × 96 protons/atom = 1.11385×10²⁵ protons

<u>3. Charge</u>

<u />

  • Charge = charge of one proton × number of protons

  • Charge = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C/proton × 1.11385×10²⁵ protons = 1.78×10⁶C
