In a police ballistics test, a 10.0-g bullet moving at 300 m/s is fired into a 1.00-kg block at rest. The bullet goes through th

e block almost instantaneously and emerges with 50.0% of its original speed. What is the speed of the block just after the bullet emerges

Answer:

Speed of block after the bullet emerges = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Here momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum.

Mass of bullet = 10 g = 0.01 kg

Initial Velocity of bullet = 300 m/s

Mass of block = 1 kg

Initial Velocity of block = 0 m/s

Final Velocity of bullet = 50% of initial velocity. = 150 m/s

We need to find final velocity of block. Let it be v

We have

Initial momentum = 0.01 x 300 + 1 x 0 = 3 kg m/s

Final momentum = 0.01 x 150 + 1 x v = 1.5 + v

Equating

3 = 1.5 + v

v = 1.5 m/s

Speed of block after the bullet emerges = 1.5 m/s

A woman fires a rifle with barrel length of 0.5400 m. Let (0, 0) be where the 125 g bullet begins to move, and the bullet travel
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of barrel =0.54m

Mass of bullet=125g=0.125kg

Force extend

F=16,000+10,000x-26,000x²

a. Work done is given as

W= ∫Fdx

W= ∫(16,000+10,000x-26,000x² dx from x=0 to x=0.54m

W=16,000x+10,000x²/2 -26,000x³/3 from x=0 to x=0.54m

W=16,000x+5,000x²- 8666.667x³ from x=0 to x=0.54m

W= 16,000(0.54) + 5000(0.54²) - 8666.667(0.54³) +0+0-0

W=8640+1458-1364.69

W=8733.31J

The workdone by the gas on the bullet is 8733.31J

b. Work done is given as

Work done when the length=1.05m

W= ∫Fdx

W= ∫(16,000+10,000x-26,000x² dx from x=0 to x=1.05m

W=16,000x+10,000x²/2 -26,000x³/3 from x=0 to x=1.05m

W=16,000x+5,000x²- 8666.667x³ from x=0 to x=1.05mm

W= 16,000(1.05) + 5000(1.05²) - 8666.667(1.05³) +0+0-0

W=16800+5512.5-10032.75

W=12,279.75J

The workdone by the gas on the bullet is 12,279.75J
