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

Answer:

Explanation:

3. The word circuit means "go around", therefore a circuit is a pathway or closed path around which electricity (or water) flows.

4. Electrons flowing through a wire can be compared to water flowing through a hose. Once the flow of electrons or water is going, work, is performed.

5. You would get shocked in a bumper car by touching the floor and the ceiling at the same time. This means you are completing the circuit allowing electricity to flow.

6. Electricity from a wall outlet has enough energy to stop your heart.

7. Electricity is the flow of electrons, because electrons move or jump from atom to atom.

8. Materials that allow electrons to move easily from atom to atom are called conductors.

9. Materials that do not allow electrons to flow easily are called insulators.

10. Semi- conductors are materials that are somewhere in between .

11. Voltage is the force or pressure of electricity and is compared to the amount of water pressure in a hose.

12. Current (amps ) is the amount of electricity and is compared to the amount of water in a hose .

13. Watts (power) is the term for work performed by electricity.

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force
Effectus [21]

The magnitude of the kinetic friction force, ƒk, on an object is. Where μk is called the kinetic friction coefficient and |FN| is the magnitude of the normal force of the surface on the sliding object. The kinetic friction coefficient is entirely determined by the materials of the sliding surfaces. hope it helps
