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

At high elevations or high latitudes, some of the water that falls on land does not immediately soak in , run off, evaporate or
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The water is stored in ice sheets and as snow

Explanation:

Temperature reduces with an increase in altitudes. The standard laps rate is 6.5°C per 1,000 m gained in elevation

At very high elevations, therefore,  the air is usually very cold such that when an elevation of 4,500 meters is reached at the equator, it is possible to observe snowfall and the water remain temporarily stored on the surface of the mountain as ice and snow

A 60 mAs results in an exposure of 85 mGya, with all factors remaining the same, what would the new exposure be if 120 mAs is us
Cloud [144]

Answer: d₂ = 170 mGya

Explanation:

the relationship between absonbed 'd' and exposure 'E' is given as;

D(Gv) = F . x (AS/xB)

F is a conversion coefficient depending on medium

so we can simply write

d₁/d₂ = x₁/x₂

Given that;

our x₁ = 60 mAs, x₂ = 120 mAs,  d₁ = 85 mGya, d₂ = ?

from the given formula,

d₂ = (x₂d₁ / x₁)

now we substitute

d₂ = (120 × 85) / 60

d₂ = 170 mGya

∴ if 120 mAa is used,  the new exposure will be 170 mGya
