As shown in the figure below, a bullet is fired at and passes through a piece of target paper suspended by a massless string. Th

e bullet has a mass m, a speed v before the collision with the target, and a speed (0.516)v after passing through the target. The collision is inelastic and during the collision, the amount of energy lost is equal to a fraction [(0.413)KEb BC] of the kinetic energy of the bullet before the collision. Determine the mass M of the target and the speed V of the target the instant after the collision in terms of the mass m of the bullet and speed v of the bullet before the collision. (Express your answers to at least 3 decimals.)

Answer:

M = 0.730*m

V = 0.663*v

Explanation:

Data Given:

v_{bullet, initial} = v\\v_{bullet, final} = 0.516*v\\v_{paper, initial} = 0\\v_{paper, final} = V\\mass_{bullet} = m\\mass_{paper} = M\\Loss Ek = 0.413 Ek

Conservation of Momentum:

P_{initial} = P_{final}\\m*v_{i} = m*0.516v_{i} + M*V\\0.484m*v_{i} = M*V .... Eq1

Energy Balance:

\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2_{i} = \frac{1}{2}*m*(0.516v_{i})^2 + \frac{1}{2}*M*V^2 + 0.413*\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2_{i}\\\\0.320744*m*v^2_{i} = M*V^2\\\\M = \frac{0.320744*m*v^2_{i} }{V^2}  ....... Eq 2

Substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1

0.484*m*v_{i} = \frac{0.320744*m*v^2_{i} }{V^2} *V  \\0.484 = 0.320744*\frac{v_{i} }{V} \\\\V = 0.663*v_{i}

Using Eq 1

0.484m*v_{i} = M* 0.663v_{i}\\\\M = 0.730*m

what is the force if a block of wood with mass 20 kg slides along a frictionless surface at 2 m/s squared
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass of object and a is the acceleration.

Since there is no friction, substituting 20 Kg for m and 2 m/s squared for a then we obtain

F=20*2=40 N
