What is the speed of the block/bullet system after the collision? express your answer in terms of vi, mw, and mb. hints?

1 answer:

6 0

Having said that,
mV + M0 = (m + M)v; where m = bullet mass, M = block mass, V = bullet velocity upon incoming, and v = the block and bullet velocity (ideal without losses) is the answer you are looking for. Thus, v = V(m/(m + M)) is what you want. m = Mb, M = Mw, and V = Vi.

cup of hot chocolate has a spoon in it. How does the heat move from the hot chocolate to the metal spoon handle?

serg [7]

The heat moves from the hot chocolate to the handle of the spoon by a process called thermal conduction.

It is the transfer of heat energy from one object to another when they are in contact with eachother.

Hope this answers your question.

A 1 pound bucket rests on a table. What is the support force exerted on the bucket by the table? What is the support force when

katrin2010 [14]

This question involves the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's third law of motion.

The support force will be "1 pound" for the empty bucket and the support force will be "6 pounds" after pouring water into it.

According to the condition of equilibrium, the sum of forces acting on a stationary object must be zero. Hence, the support force of the table will be equal to the total mass of the bucket.
According to Newton's Third Law of Motion every action force has an equal but opposite reaction force. Hence, the support force will be a reaction force to the weight of the bucket.

Therefore, the support force in each case will be equal to the total mass of the bucket:

Case 1 (empty bucket):

support force = 1 pound

Case 1 (water poured):

support force = 1 pound + 5 pound

support force = 6 pound

Two balls, each with a mass of 0.890 kg, exert a gravitational force of 8.06 × 10−11 n on each other. how far apart are the ball

Bond [772]

This problem involves Newton's universal law of gravitation and the equation to follow would be.

F = GM₁M₂/r²

Given: M₁ = 0.890 Kg; M₂ = 0.890 Kg; F = 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N; G = 6.673 X 10⁻¹¹ N m²/Kg²

Solving for distance r = ?

r = √GM₁M₂/F

r = √(6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ N m₂/Kg²)(0.890 Kg)(0.890 Kg)/ 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N

r = 0.81 m
