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

Is it possible for a baseball to have as large a momentum as a much more massive bowling ball
kirza4 [7]
Yes it is possible. Momentum is calculated by the mass of the object times its velocity.
For example, say a bowling ball weighs 3.0kg and is travelling at a speed of 3.0m/s. Its momentum would be 3.0×3.0=9.0 kg·m/s.
Now say we have a baseball weighing 0.20kg and it is travelling at a speed of 47.0m/s. Its momentum would be 0.20×47.0=9.4 kg·m/s, which is more than that of the bowling ball.

A flat coil of wire consisting of 20 turns, each with an area of 50 cm2, is positioned perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic fie
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

i = 0.5 A

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic flux is given as

\phi = NBA

here we know that

N = number of turns

B = magnetic field

A = area of the loop

now we know that rate of change in magnetic flux will induce EMF in the coil

so we have

EMF = NA\frac{dB}{dt}

now plug in all values to find induced EMF

EMF = (20)(50 \times 10^{-4})(\frac{6 - 2}{2})

EMF = 0.2 volts

now by ohm's law we have

current = \frac{EMF}{Resistance}

i = \frac{0.2}{0.40} = 0.5 A

A runner drank a lot of water during a race. What is the expected path of the extra filtered water molecules?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Afferent arteriole, glomerulus, nephron tubule, collecting duct

Explanation:

Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery, a thick branch from the descending aorta. In the hilum, it is divided into several branches that are distributed through the lobes of the kidney and are branching forming numerous afferent arterioles that form the glomerular clew. It is precisely the walls of these capillaries that act as ultrafilters, allowing small particles to pass through.

Blood that flows through the <u>afferent arteriole</u> circulates through the capillary vessels of the kidney (the true capillaries that provide the kidney with oxygen and nutrients necessary for its function). These capillaries are grouped together to form the renal vein which, in turn, pours into the inferior vena cava.

Given the function of the kidneys to eliminate waste products through urine, it is not surprising that these organs are the ones that receive the most blood per gram of weight. One way to express renal blood flow is by considering the renal fraction or fraction of cardiac output that passes through the kidneys.

The regulation of blood flow in the glomeruli is achieved by three formations: the polar bearing, the Goormaghtigh cells and the dense macula. The polar bearing consists of a thickening of the afferent arteriole wall before it enters the <u>renal glomerulus</u>. The arteriole loses its elastic membrane, the endothelium becomes discontinuous and the middle tunic is arranged in two layers, formed by secretory cells: these secretory cells produce Angiotensin and Erythropoietin.

Goormaghtigh cells are arranged at an angle between afferent and effector arterioles and meet in small columns. They are closely related to polar bearing cells. Between both formations is the dense macula (or Zimmerman's dense macula) that is in contact with the distal tubule and afferent arteriole just before it penetrates the glomerulus. These three formations, polar bearing, Goormaghtigh cells and dense macula form the juxtaglomerular apparatus that regulates the blood flow in the glomerulus.

<u>Nephrons</u> regulate water and soluble matter (especially Electrolytes) in the body, by first filtering the blood under pressure, and then reabsorbing some necessary fluid and molecules back into the blood while secreting other unnecessary molecules.

The reabsorption and secretion are achieved with the mechanisms of Cotransporte and Contratransporte established in the nephrons and associated collection ducts. Blood filtration occurs in the glomerulus, a capping of capillaries that is inside a Bowman's capsule.

Liquid flows from the nephron in the <u>collecting duct</u> system. This segment of the nephron is crucial to the process of water conservation by the body. In the presence of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH; also called vasopressin), these ducts become water permeable and facilitate their reabsorption, thus concentrating the urine and reducing its volume. Conversely, when the body must remove excess water, for example after drinking excess fluid, ADH production is decreased and the collecting tubule becomes less permeable to water, making the urine diluted and abundant.
