A bullet with a mass m b = 11.9 mb=11.9 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity v b = 261 m/s. vb=261 m/s. The block is atta

ched to a spring that has a spring constant k k of 205 N/m. 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass m w mw of the wooden block.

Answer:

0.372 kg

Explanation:

The collision between the bullet and the block is inelastic, so only the total momentum of the system is conserved. So we can write:

mu=(M+m)v (1)

where

m=11.9 g = 11.9\cdot 10^{-3}kg is the mass of the bullet

u=261 m/s is the initial velocity of the bullet

M is the mass of the block

v is the velocity at which the bullet and the block travels after the collision

We also know that the block is attached to a spring, and that the surface over which the block slides after the collision is frictionless. This means that the energy is conserved: so, the total kinetic energy of the block+bullet system just after the collision will entirely convert into elastic potential energy of the spring when the system comes to rest. So we can write

\frac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2 = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 (2)

where

k = 205 N/m is the spring constant

x = 35.0 cm = 0.35 m is the compression of the spring

From eq(1) we get

v=\frac{mu}{M+m}

And substituting into eq(2), we can solve to find the mass of the block:

(M+m) \frac{(mu)^2}{(M+m)^2}=kx^2\\\frac{(mu)^2}{M+m}=kx^2\\M+m=\frac{(mu)^2}{kx^2}\\M=\frac{(mu)^2}{kx^2}-m=\frac{(11.9\cdot 10^{-3}\cdot 261)^2}{(205)(0.35)^2}-11.9\cdot 10^{-3}=0.372 kg

A certain car traveling at 97 km/h can stop in 47 m on a level road find the coefficient of friction
IrinaVladis [17]

The coefficient of friction between the road and the car's tire is determined as 0.78.

<h3>Acceleration of the car</h3>

The acceleration of the car is calculated as follows;

v² = u² - 2as

0 = u² - 2as

a = u²/2s

where;

  • u is the initial velocity = 97 km/h = 26.94 m/s

a = (26.94)²/(2 x 47)

a = 7.72 m/s²

<h3>Coefficient of friction</h3>

μ = a/g

μ = (7.72)/9.8

μ = 0.78

A vertical spring stretches 4.0 cm when a 12-g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 28 g that osc
marin [14]

Answer:

Time period of the osculation will be 0.0671 sec  

Explanation:

It is given a vertical spring is stretched by 4 cm

So change in length of the spring x = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Mass which is hung from it m = 12 gram = 0.012 kg

Sprig force will be equal to weight of the mass

So kx=mg

k\times 0.04=0.012\times 9.8

k = 244.7 N/m

Now new mass is m = 28 gram = 0.028 kg

So time period with new mass will be

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{0.028}{244.7}}=0.0671sec
