A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 g and initial horizontal velocity 280 m/s strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992 kg

that rests on a frictionless surface and is attached to one end of an ideal spring. The other end of the spring is attached to the wall. The impact compresses the spring a maximum distance of 15.0 cm. After the impact, the block moves in SHM. Calculate the period of this motion.

Answer:

0.4113772 s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of bullet (m1) = 8g = 0.008kg

Initial horizontal Velocity (u1) = 280m/s

Mass of block (m2) = 0.992kg

Maxumum distance (x) = 15cm = 0.15m

Recall;

Period (T) = 2π√(m/k)

According to the law of conservation of momentum : (inelastic Collison)

m1 * u1 = (m1 + m2) * v

Where v is the final Velocity of the colliding bodies

0.008 * 280 = (0.008 + 0.992) * v

2.24 = 1 * v

v = 2.24m/s

K. E = P. E

K. E = 0.5mv^2

P.E = 0.5kx^2

0.5(0.992 + 0.008)*2.24^2 = 0.5*k*(0.15)^2

0.5*1*5.0176 = 0.5*k*0.0225

2.5088 = 0.01125k

k = 2.5088 / 0.01125

k = 223.00444 N/m

Therefore,

Period (T) = 2π√(m/k)

T = 2π√(0.992+0.008) / 233.0444

T = 2π√0.0042910

T = 2π * 0.0655059

T = 0.4113772 s

Find the separation of two points on the Moon’s surface that can just be resolved by the 200 in. (= 5.1 m) telescope at Mount Pa

rewona [7]

Answer:

The separation of the 2 points should be 50.0 meters.

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh's scattering criteria the angular separation between 2 points to be resolved equals

$\theta =1.22\cdot \frac{\lambda }{D}$

Applying the given values we get

$\theta =1.22\cdot \frac{550\times 10^{-9} }{5.1}=0.1316\times 10^{-6}rads$

thus the linear separation equals $L=\theta \times Distance$

Applying the given values we get

$L=0.1316\times 10^{-6} \times 3.8\times 10^{5}\times 10^{3}meters\\\\\therefore L=50.00metes$

A student creates a model of a closed ecosystem by filling a glass tank half full with water then adding 10 snails and two small

GenaCL600 [577]

The reason why the snails are dead because the snails lack oxygen for it is a model of closed ecosystem. Another reason to this is that they lack abiotic factors that they need in surviving or as they live for the place that they are living lacks a lot and are not enough for them to last or survive. Lastly, the water could have not been a contributor for them to live for they may not be able to live in a water environment and could only dwell in land.

So far in your life, you may have assumed that as you are sitting in your chair right now, you are not accelerating. However, th

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section.

Explanation:

A)

Solution:

For this to find, we need to calculate the centripetal acceleration on the equator.

The centripetal acceleration of the equator:

a = 4 $\pi ^{2}$ RcosФ/ $T^{2}$ ,

where,

R is the radius of the earth

R = 6378 KM = 6.3 x $10^{6}$ and

T is the time period

T = 24 h = 86164.1 s

At Equator, Ф = 0°

So, CosФ = 1

Hence,

a = 4 $\pi ^{2}$ R/ $T^{2}$

By plugging in the values, we get:

a = 4 x ( $3.14^{2}$ ) x (6.3 x $10^{6}$ ) / $86164.1^{2}$

a = 0.03 m/ $s^{2}$

Hence, this is the centripetal acceleration on the equator. And we also know that, acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$ which is very higher than the centripetal acceleration on the equator.

B) Normal force exerted by chair will always be equal and opposite to the mass times gravitational acceleration (F = mg). Otherwise, I would be thrown away from chair in case the normal force is not equal and opposite or I would be drag down to the earth due to greater mass times gravitational acceleration. Hence, both are equal and opposite.

C) Of course, this is not a lie, it is true because the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$ and as we calculated the acceleration on the equator is 0.03 m/ $s^{2}$ which way too low to experience.

For percentage difference,

9.8 - 0.03 = 9.77

So, % diff = (9.8 - 9.77)/9.8 x 100

% diff = 0.00306 x 100

% diff = 0.306%

Obviously, this is way too low to experience.

D) With the help of same formula as discussed above, we have:

a = 4 $\pi ^{2}$ RcosФ/ $T^{2}$ ,

Here, Ф = 44.4°

Just putting the values. we get

a = 0.0241 m/ $s^{2}$

Acceleration while sitting in my chair.

The sound intensity at a distance of 19 m from a noisy generator is measured to be 0.24 W/m2. What is the sound intensity at a d

34kurt

Answer:

0.1111 W/m²

Explanation:

If all other parameters are constant, sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the sound. That is,

I ∝ (1/r²)

I = k/r²

Since k can be the constant of proportionality. k = Ir²

We can write this relation as

I₁ × r₁² = I₂ × r₂²

I₁ = 0.25 W/m²

r₁ = 16 m

I₂ = ?

r₂ = 24 m

0.25 × 16² = I₂ × 24²

I₂ = (0.25 × 16²)/24²

I₂ = 0.1111 W/m²
