Answer:

The efficiency of the ramp is, Eff = 6.63 %

Explanation:

Given,

The work done by the person pushing the furniture up the ramp is, W₁ = 1240 J

The work done by the ramp is, W₀ = 822 J

The efficiency of the ramp is given by the formula,

                                 <em> Eff = ( W₀ / W₁ ) x 100%</em>

                                        = ( 822 / 12400 ) x 100%

                                        = 6.63 %

Hence, the efficiency of the ramp is, Eff = 6.63 %

A 0.050 kg bullet strikes a 5.0 kg wooden block with a velocity of 909 m/s and embeds itself in the block which fies off its sta
serg [7]

Answer:

The final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a bullet is, m = 0.05 kg

Mass of wooden block is, M = 5 kg

Initial speed of bullet, v = 909 m/s

The bullet embeds itself in the block which flies off its stand. Let V is the final velocity of the bullet. The this case, momentum of the system remains conserved. So,

mv=(m+M)V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{m+M}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.05\times 909}{0.050+5}\\\\V=9\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

eimsori [14]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations for the description of the position, speed and acceleration.

In turn, we will resort to the application of Newton's second law.

PART A) For the first part we look for the time, in a constant acceleration, knowing the speeds and the displacement therefore we know that,

X_f = X_i +\frac{1}{2}(V_i+V_f)t

Where,

X = Desplazamiento

V = Velocity

t = Time

In this case there is no initial displacement or initial velocity, therefore

X_f = \frac{1}{2} (V_i+V_f)t

Clearing for time,

t = \frac{2X_f}{(V_i+V_f)}

t = \frac{2*1.2}{24+0}

t = 0.1s

PART B) This is a question about the impulse of bodies, where we turn to Newton's second law, because:

F = ma

Where,

m=mass

a = acceleration

Acceleration can also be written as,

a= \frac{\Delta V}{t}

Then

F = m\frac{\Delta V}{t}

F = m\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}

F = m\frac{-V_i}{t}

F = \frac{(1600kg)(-24m/s)}{(0.1s)}

F = -384000N

Negative symbol is because the force is opposite of the direction of moton.

PART C) Acceleration through kinematics equation is defined as

V_f^2=V_i^2-2ax

0 = (24m/s)^2-2*a(1.2m)

a = \frac{(24m/s)^2}{1.2m}

a=480m/s^2

The gravity is equal to 0.8, then the acceleration is

a = 480*\frac{g}{9.8}

a = 53.3g

Solid has vibrating molecules that barely move to keep it's shape

liquid moves at an average speed and keeps it's volume but not it's shape

gases move quickly and all over the place so they don't have a shape or volume

plasma is the quickest moving and is like a gas
