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

14. Which is the relationship between photon energy and frequency?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The amount of energy is directly proportional to the photon's electromagnetic frequency and thus, equivalently, is inversely proportional to the wavelength. The higher the photon's frequency, the higher its energy.

i hope this helps.

What is projectile motion​
Radda [10]

\boxed{\large{\bold{\textbf{\textsf{{\color{blue}{Answer}}}}}}:)}

\sf{\qquad{\qquad{\underline{\underline{ Projectile~motion }}}}}

If an object is given an initial velocity in any direction and then allowed to travel freely under gravity only, it is called a projectile motion.

It is basically 3 types

  1. horizontally projectile motion
  2. oblique projectile motion
  3. included plane projectile motion

The path followed by a projectile is called its trajectory.
