-- Although it's not explicitly stated in the question,we have to assume that
the surface is frictionless. I guess that's what "smooth" means.
-- The total mass of both blocks is (1.5 + 0.93) = 2.43 kg. Since they're
connected to each other (by the string), 2.43 kg is the mass you're pulling.
-- Your force is 6.4 N.
Acceleration = (force)/(mass) = 6.4/2.43 m/s²<em>
</em> That's about <em>2.634 m/s²</em> <em>
</em>(I'm going to keep the fraction form handy, because the acceleration has to be
used for the next part of the question, so we'll need it as accurate as possible.)
-- Both blocks accelerate at the same rate. So the force on the rear block (m₂) is
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.93) x (6.4/2.43) = <em>2.45 N</em>.
That's the force that's accelerating the little block, so that must be the tension
in the string.
The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.
The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:
7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42
So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.
Answer:
1371.4watt
Explanation:
from power=energy/time
BUT energy=force times distance
1 cubic cm is the same as 1 mL, so the answer would be C.
