Answer:

Mass has total mechanical energy, which is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. as the mass is dropping, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so mechanical energy is preserved If there is no friction. If there is friction, some of the mechanical energy is lost as heat energy so it changes.

Describe the difference between global knowledge and personal ideas.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Global knowledge is information that is widely accepted and been proven as the truth. It is information that may not necessarily have a source because it is common knowledge and not easily attributed to a certain source. Personal ideas are original to the author and may not be widely accepted. It is important to give credit to others by citing their work to acknowledge that this is not your own findings but rather someone else's. It is plagiarism to use someone else's work as your own without giving credit to their work. -W0lf93

A 30-g bullet is fired with a horizontal velocity of 460 m/s and becomes embedded in block B which has a mass of 3 kg. After the

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

energy loss due to friction and the impacts = 2.97 J; The impact loss due to AB impacting the carrier is =25.72J; The impact loss at first impact is 6,316.64J

Explanation:

First find the velocity of the bullet after the first impact using

M1V1 + 0 = (M1 + M2)v'

Where M1 is the mass of the bullet

M2 is the mass of the block B

M3 is the mass of the carrier

v' is the velocity

v' = M1V1/(M1 + M2)

v'= (30 × 10^-3 kg)(460 m/s) / (30 × 10^-3 kg + 3 kg)

v' = 13.8/3.03

v'= 4.55m/s

Also calculate final velocity of the carrier v2'

v2' = M1V1/(M1 + M2 + M3)

v2'= (30 × 10 kg)(460 m/s) / (30 × 10 kg + 3 kg + 30kg)

v2' =0.42m/s

Now to calculate energy loss due to friction

Normal force

N= W1 + W2 = (m1 + m2)g

Where W1 and W2 is the weight of the bullet and block respectively

g is gravitational acceleration for taken as 9.81m/s

= (0.030 kg + 3 kg)(9.81 m/s) 29.724 N

Friction force = coefficient of kinetic× normal force

Where coefficient of kinetic = 0.2

Ff = (0.2)(29.724)= 5.945 N

Now

Energy loss due to friction = frictional force × distance

Assume distance is 0.5 m.

Energy loss due to friction = 5.945 N × 0.5 m

= 2.97J

Kinetic energy of block with embedded bullet immediately after first impact:

1/2 × (m1 + m2)(v')^2

1/2 × (30 × 10^-3 kg + 3 kg)(4.55m/s)^2

= 1/2 × (3.03kg) × (4.55m/s)^2

= 31.36 J

Final kinetic energy of bullet, Block, and Carrier together

1/2 × (m1 + m2 + m3)(v2')^2

1/2 × (30 × 10^-3 kg + 3 kg + 30kg) (0.42m/s)^2

1/2 × (33.03kg) × (0.42m/s)^2

= 2.91 J

Therefore

Loss due to friction and stopping impact = Kinetic energy of block with embedded bullet immediately after first impact - Final kinetic energy of bullet, Block, and Carrier together

= 31.36 J - 2.91 J

= 28.69 J

Impact loss due to AB impacting the carrier = loss due to friction- energy due to friction

28.69J - 2.97J

=25.72J

Initial kinetic energy of system ABC = 1/2(m1vo)

=1/2(0.030 kg)(460 m/s)^2 = 6,348J

Therefore

Impact loss at first impact = Initial kinetic energy of system ABC - Kinetic energy of block with embedded bullet immediately after first impact:

= 6,348J - 31.36 J

= 6,316.64J

Question 1 of 4 Attempt 4 The acceleration due to gravity, ???? , is constant at sea level on the Earth's surface. However, the

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

g(h) = g ( 1 - 2(h/R) )

<em>*At first order on h/R*</em>

Explanation:

Hi!

We can derive this expression for distances h small compared to the earth's radius R.

In order to do this, we must expand the newton's law of universal gravitation around r=R

Remember that this law is:

$F = G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

In the present case m1 will be the mass of the earth.

Additionally, if we remember Newton's second law for the mass m2 (with m2 constant):

$F = m_2a$

Therefore, we can see that

$a(r) = G \frac{m_1}{r^2}$

With a the acceleration due to the earth's mass.

Now, the taylor series is going to be (at first order in h/R):

$a(R+h) \approx a(R) + h \frac{da(r)}{dr}_{r=R}$

a(R) is actually the constant acceleration at sea level

and

$a(R) =G \frac{m_1}{R^2} \\ \frac{da(r)}{dr}_{r=R} = -2 G\frac{m_1}{R^3}$

Therefore:

$a(R+h) \approx G\frac{m_1}{R^2} -2G\frac{m_1}{R^2} \frac{h}{R} = g(1-2\frac{h}{R})$

Consider that the error in this expresion is quadratic in (h/R), and to consider quadratic correctiosn you must expand the taylor series to the next power:

$a(R+h) \approx a(R) + h \frac{da(r)}{dr}_{r=R} + \frac{h^2}{2!} \frac{d^2a(r)}{dr^2}_{r=R}$

I threw a plastic ball in the pool for my dog to fetch. The mass of the ball was 125g. What must the volume be to have a density

Stells [14]

Answer:

250 mL

Explanation:

Density equation:

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

Variables:

D = density

m = mass

V = volume

Solve:

M = 125 g

D = 0.500 g/mL

V = ?

$0.500 g/mL = \frac{125 g}{V}$

V = 250 mL

Compare and Contrast How is a tug - of - war similar to unequal sharing of electron

laiz [17]

Imagine that the two atoms are playing tug of war with the electron, but one is pulling with a stronger force than the other. This inequality results in the majority of the rope being pulled toward the stronger atom. In the bond, the electron is pulled closer to the stronger atom too. This results in each side having a partial charge, one being more negative than the other.
