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

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

3.626 m/s

Explanation:

v=d/t

1. -0.02/0 = 0 m/s

2. 0.86/0.2 = 4.3 m/s

3. 1.71/0.4 = 4.275 m/s

4. 2.54/0.6 = 4.23 m/s

5. 3.32/0.8 = 4.15 m/s

6. 4.08/1.0 = 4.08 m/s

7. 4.79/1.2 = 3.99 m/s

8. 5.48/1.4 = 3.91 m/s

9. 6.15/1.6 = 3.84 m/s

10. 6.76/1.8 = 3.76 m/s

11. 7.37/2.0 = 3.66 m/s

12. 7.92/2.2 = 3.6 m/s

13. 8.45/2.4 = 3.52 m/s

14. 8.96/2.6 = 3.45 m/s

the mean of these numbers is 3.626

his average velocity ks 3.626 m/s

a car initially at rest move with the constant accerates along straght line read after it's spread increase and finally related
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

32km per hour

Explanation:

Explanation:

In first case v = a t

==> a t = 40 km p h

Now distance covered S1 + S2 + S3

S1 = 1/2 a t^2 and S3 = 1/2 a t^2

But S2 = 3t * 40 = 120 t km

Hence total distance = at^2 + 120 t

Time taken (total) = t + 3t + t = 5 t

Hence average speed = at^2 + 120 t / 5 t

Cancelling t we have at + 120 / 5 = 40 + 120 / 5 = 160/5 = 32 km per hour

The Millennium Falcon was constructed 43.6 m long. a) How fast is it traveling past Luke when he measures its length to be 30.1
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

a)0.5564c

b)43.6 m

Explanation:

Given proper length of falcrum L₀= 43.6 m

improper length L=30.1 m (when viewed from moving frame)

we know that L=L_{0}\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

30.1=43.6\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}

⇒\{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}=\frac{30.1}{43.6}

{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}=0.6904

\frac{v^2}{c^2}=0.3096

v^{2}=3096c^{2}

v=0.5564c

this is the required speed of falcon when it passes luke

b). Since Han solo is on the Falcon its reference frame will be falcon itself hence there wont be any change in the length of Falcon that its length will be

43.6 m
