A ballistic pendulum is a device for measuring bullet speeds. One of the simplest versions consists of a block of wood hanging f

rom two long cords. (Two cords are used so that the bottom face of the block remains parallel to the floor as the block swings upward.) A 9.4-g bullet is fired into a ballistic pendulum in which the block has an inertia of 5.5 kg , and the block rises 60 mm above its initial position.Part AWhat is the speed of the bullet just before it hits the block?Part BHow much energy is dissipated in the collision?

Answer:

Part a)

v = 636 m/s

Part b)

\Delta E = 1898 J

Explanation:

Part a)

Let the bullet is moving initially with speed v

so by momentum conservation we will have

mv = (M + m) v_f

v_f = \frac{0.0094 v}{0.0094 + 5.5}

v_f = 1.706 \times 10^{-3} v

now by energy conservation we know that

\frac{1}{2}(M + m)(v_f^2) = (M + m)gH

H = \frac{v_f^2}{2g}

0.06 = \frac{(1.706\times 10^{-3}v)^2}{2(9.81)}

0.06 = 1.48 \times 10^{-7} v^2

v = 636 m/s

Part b)

Energy loss of the system is given as

\Delta E = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 - \frac{1}{2}(M + m)v_f^2

\Delta E = \frac{1}{2}(9.4 \times 10^{-3})(636^2) - \frac{1}{2}(0.0094 + 5.5)(1.08^2)

\Delta E = 1901.13 - 3.21

\Delta E = 1898 J

What are graphs used for?
kari74 [83]

A line that joins dots plotted on a graph paper is called a line graph. It is used to show the variation of a quantity with respect to another. A line graph represents two pieces of information that are usually related.

Taking the perspective of a student learning astronomy or physics, graphs are useful because they can summarize a LOT of information into one picture. When scientists do research graphs are often the only way to represent data that has been collected.

Answer: *The inner planet that has two moons is Mars * the only planet in the Solar System with clockwise rotation is Venus * The surface of Mercury is covered with ancient magma ( which is similar to the spews of volcanoes on  Earth as well) * The planet that is closest to Earth is Mercury * Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet * Earth's moon formed when a(n)  can sometimes be called the Big Splash or can be called the Theia impact (Luna the moon formed from the ejecta of the collision between the Proto- Earth and Mars sized planet) * Mars is called the red planet because it's soil contains the element iron oxide ( which is the compound that gives blood and rust hue)  

Explanation: Hope this helped :)
