A bullet with a mass m b = 11.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity v b = 249 m/s. The block is attached to a spring tha

t has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass of the wooden block.

Answer:

0.358Kg

Explanation:

The potential energy in the spring at full compression = the initial kinetic energy of the bullet/block system

0.5Ke^2 = 0.5Mv^2

0.5(205)(0.35)^2 = 12.56 J = 0.5(M + 0.0115)v^2

Using conservation of momentum between the bullet and the block

0.0115(265) = (M + 0.0115)v

3.0475 = (M + 0.0115)v

v = 3.0475/(M + 0.0115)

plugging into Energy equation

12.56 = 0.5(M + 0.0115)(3.0475)^2/(M + 0.0115)^2

12.56 = 0.5 × 3.0475^2 / ( M + 0.0115 )

12.56 = 0.5 × 9.2872/ M + 0.0115

12.56 = 4.6436/ M + 0.0115

12.56 ( M + 0.0115 ) = 4.6436

12.56M + 0.1444 = 4.6436

12.56M = 4.6436 - 0.1444

12.56 M = 4.4992

M = 4.4992÷12.56

M = 0.358 Kg

You are driving due north on i-81 to come to jmu with a speed of 10 m/s, suddenly you realize you forgot your book. You make a u
Readme [11.4K]

first we make a U turn and travel towards home in t = 20 s

so the distance of home from initial position is

d_1 = v*t_1

d_1 = 10*20 = 200 m

Now after picking up the book we travel back with speed 20 m/s

so again after t = 20 s the displacement is given as

d_2 = v*t = 20*20 = 400 m

so the net displacement is given as

\vec d = \vec d_2 - \vec d_1

\vec d = 400 - 200 = 200 m

so it will be displaced by total displacement 200 m

Flauer [41]

Answer:

velocity = 1527.52 ft/s

Acceleration = 80.13 ft/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Radius of rotation; r = 32,700 ft

Radial acceleration; a_r = r¨ = 85 ft/s²

Angular velocity; ω = θ˙˙ = 0.019 rad/s

Also, angle θ reaches 66°

So, velocity of the rocket for the given position will be;

v = rθ˙˙/cos θ

so, v = 32700 × 0.019/ cos 66

v = 1527.52 ft/s

Acceleration is given by the formula ;

a = a_r/sinθ

For the given position,

a_r = r¨ - r(θ˙˙)²

Thus,

a = (r¨ - r(θ˙˙)²)/sinθ

Plugging in the relevant values, we obtain;

a = (85 - 32700(0.019)²)/sin66

a = (85 - 11.8047)/0.9135

a = 80.13 ft/s²
