Answer:

(a) vf = 0.98 m/s

(b) K₁ = 714.85 J : Total translational kinetic energy before the collision.

K₂=  2.41 J : Total translational kinetic energy after the collision.

Explanation:

Theory of collisions  

Linear momentum is a vector magnitude (same direction of the velocity) and its magnitude is calculated like this:    

p=m*v  

where  

p:Linear momentum  

m: mass  

v:velocity  

There are 3 cases of collisions : elastic, inelastic and plastic.  

For the three cases the total linear momentum quantity is conserved:  

P₀ = Pf Formula (1)  

P₀ :Initial linear momentum quantity  

Pf : Final linear momentum quantity  

Data

m₁ = 0.017 kg : mass of the bullet

m₂ = 5 kg : mass of the block

v₀₁ =  290 m/s : initial velocity of the bullet

v₀₂ = 0  : initial velocity of the block₂

(a) Speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block

We appy the formula (1):

P₀ = Pf  

m₁*v₀₁ + m₂*v₀₂ = (m₁+ m₂)vf  

vf: final velocity of the block

( 0.017)*( 290) + (5)*(0) = ( 0.017 + 5 )*vf

4.93+ 0 = (  5.017 )*vf

vf = 4.93 / 5.017

vf = 0.98 m/s

b)  Total translational kinetic energy before (K₁) and after the collision(K₂).

K₁ = 1/2(m₁*v₀₁² + m₂*v₀₂²)

K₁ = 1/2(0.017*(290)² + 5*(0)²) = 714.85 J

K₂= 1/2(m₁+ m₂)*vf²

K₂= 1/2(0.017+ 5)*(0.98)²  = 2.41 J

Which four equations can be used to solve for acceleration
emmainna [20.7K]

The four equations for acceleration are obtained from the three equations of motion and from second law of motion.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. So the change in velocity with respect to time can be determined using the three equations of motions.

So from the first equation of motion, v = u + at , we can determine the value of acceleration if time taken, final and initial velocity is known. The equation can be re-written as a = \frac{v-u}{t}

Similarly, from the second equation of motion, s = ut + 1/2 at², we can determine the equation for acceleration as a = 2*\frac{s-ut}{t^{2} }

So this is second equation for acceleration.

Then from the third equation of motion, v^{2}- u^{2} = 2* a *s

the acceleration equation is determined as a = \frac{v^{2}-u^{2}  }{2s}

In addition to these three equation, another equation is present to determine the acceleration with respect to force from the Newton's second law of motion. F = Mass × acceleration. From this, acceleration = Force/mass.

So, these are the four equations for acceleration.
