A 16 g rifle bullet traveling 240 m/s buries itself in a 3.6 kg pendulum hanging on a 2.5 m long string, which makes the pendulu

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

x = 0.54 m

y = 0.058 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the bullet = 16 g = 0.016 kg

v = speed of bullet before collision = 240 m/s

M = mass of the pendulum = 3.6 kg

L = length of the string = 2.5 m

h = height gained by the pendulum after collision

V = speed of the bullet and pendulum combination

Using conservation of momentum

m v = (m + M) V

(0.016) (240) = (0.016 + 3.6) V

V = 1.062 m/s

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by bullet and pendulum combination = Kinetic energy of bullet and pendulum combination

(m + M) g h = (0.5) (m + M) V²

(9.8) h = (0.5) (1.062)²

h = 0.058 m

y = vertical displacement = h = 0.058 m

x = horizontal displacement

horizontal displacement is given as

x = sqrt(L² - (L - h)²)

x = sqrt(2.5² - (2.5 - 0.058)²)

x = 0.54 m

A student performing a double-slit experiment is using a green laser with a wavelength of 550 nm. She is confused when the m = 5

sweet [91]

Answer:

d = 52 μm

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the light source (λ)= 550 nm

distance to form interference pattern(D) = 1.5 m

y = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

width of the slits = ?

now, using displacement formula

$y = \dfrac{m\lambda\ D}{d}$

for the first maxima, m = 1

$d = \dfrac{1\times \lambda\ D}{y}$

$d = \dfrac{1\times 550 \times 10^{-9}\times 1.5}{0.016}$

d = 5.2 x 10⁻⁶ m

d = 52 μm

hence, the width of her slits is equal to d = 52 μm

Explain the difference between balanced forces and action and reaction forces.

Monica [59]

Action-reaction forces act on different objects; balanced forces act on the same object. Balanced forces can result in acceleration, action-reaction forces cannot. ... Newton's Third Law of Motion does not apply to balanced forces.

2 * 1.5 * (.850/2)^2A small ball with mass 1.50 kg is mounted on one end of a rod 0.850 m long and of negligible mass. The syste

grin007 [14]

Answer

given,

mass of the rod = 1.50 Kg

length of rod = 0.85 m

rotational velocity = 5060 rev/min

now calculating the rotational inertia of the system.

$I = m L^2$

where L is the length of road, we will take whole length of rod because mass is at the end of it.

$I = 1.5 \times 0.85^2$

I = 1.084 kg.m²

hence, the rotational inertia the system is equal to I = 1.084 kg.m²
