A bullet of mass 11 g strikes a ballistic pendulum of mass 1.9 kg. The center of mass of the pendulum rises a vertical distance

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bullet, $m_b=11\ g=0.011\ kg$

Mass of the pendulum, $m_p=19\ kg$

The center of mass of the pendulum rises a vertical distance of 10 cm.

We need to find the bullet's initial speed if it is assumed that the bullet remains embedded in the pendulum. Let it is v. In this case, the energy of the system remains conserved. The kinetic energy of the bullet gets converted to potential energy for the whole system. So,

$\dfrac{1}{2}(m_b+m_p)V^2 =(m_b+m_p)gh\\\\V=\sqrt{2gh} \ .................(1)$

V is the speed of the bullet and pendulum at the time of collision

Now using conservation of momentum as :

$m_bv=(m_p+m_b)V$

Put the value of V from equation (1) in above equation as :

$v=\dfrac{(m_p+m_b)}{m_b}\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\dfrac{(1.9+0.011)}{0.011}\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.1}\\\\v=243.21\ m/s$

So, the bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.

A body oscillates with simple harmonic motion along the x axis. Its displacement varies with time according to the equation x =

frutty [35]

Answer:

θ = (7π / 3) rad

Explanation:

given,

displacement of simple harmonic motion along x-axis

equation is given as

x = 5 sin (π t + π/3 )

general equation of simple harmonic motion

x = A sin θ

θ is the phase angle

θ = π t + π/3

at t = 2 s

$\theta =\pi \times 2 +\dfrac{\pi}{3}$

$\theta =\dfrac{7\pi}{3}\ rad$

Phase of the motion at t =2 s is θ = (7π / 3) rad

A 1.70 m tall woman stands 5.00 m in front of a camera with a 50.00 cm focal

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

18.89cm

Explanation:

As we know that the person is standing 5m in front of the camera

$d_0=5m=500cm$

The focal length of the lens =50cm

f=50 cm

By Lens formula we have:

$\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{d_o}\\\dfrac{1}{50} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i} =\dfrac{1}{50}-\dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i}=0.018\\d_i=55.56cm$

By the formula of magnification

$\dfrac{h_i}{h_o} = \dfrac{55.56}{500}\\\\h_i = \dfrac{55.56}{500} \times h_o\\\\ h_o=1.70m=170cm\\\\Therefore: h_i=\dfrac{55.56}{500} \times$ 170 cm\\\\h_i =18.89 cm$

The height of the image formed is 18.89cm.
