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

timama [110]

Answer:

The transfer of heat by the movement of fluid is called Convection Heat Transfer

Explanation:

Heat transfer by convection is the transfer of heat by fluid transport from one place to another, such that convection takes place when the heat that comes in contact of fluid containing body is moved to other parts of the container by the transporting fluid

Heat is transferred within a fluid medium mainly by convection (movement of heat by the transfer of fluid particles in the medium)

Convection heat transfer is a combination of conduction and advection heat transfer

What is the frequency of a wave
MAVERICK [17]
The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.

Is work being done on a barbell when a weight lifter is holding the barbell<br> over his head?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Because in order for work to be done on an object, the object must be moving. Why isn't work being done on a barbell when a weight lifter is holding the barbell over his head? Work is maximized when force is applied in the same direction that the object is moving. ... In order to do work faster, more_is required.
