To determine the muzzle velocity of a bullet fired from a rifle, you shoot the 2.47-g bullet into a 2.43-kg wooden block. The bl
Elza [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the bullet on leaving the gun's barrel is 236.36 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet, m₁ = 2.47 g = 0.00247 kg

mass of the wooden block, m₂ = 2.43 kg

initial velocity of the wooden block, u₂ = 0

height reached by the bullet-block system after collision = 0.295 cm = 0.00295 m

let the initial velocity of the bullet on leaving the gun's barrel = v₁

let final velocity of the bullet-wooden block system after collision = v₂

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂u₂ = v₂(m₁ + m₂)

0.00247v₁  + 2.43 x 0  =  v₂(2.43 + 0.00247)

0.00247v₁ = 2.4325v₂ -------(1)

The kinetic energy of the bullet-block system after collision;

K.E = ¹/₂(m₁ + m₂)v₂²

K.E = ¹/₂ (2.4325)v₂²

The potential energy of the bullet-block system after collision;

P.E = mgh

P.E = (2.4325)(9.8)(0.00295)

P.E = 0.07032

Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy;

K.E = P.E

¹/₂ (2.4325)v₂² = 0.07032

1.21625 v₂²  = 0.07032

v₂²  = 0.07032  / 1.21625

v₂² = 0.0578

v₂ = √0.0578

v₂ = 0.24 m/s

Substitute v₂ in equation (1), to obtain the initial velocity of the bullet;

0.00247v₁ = 2.4325v₂

0.00247v₁ = 2.4325 (0.24)

0.00247v₁ = 0.5838

v₁ = 0.5838 / 0.00247

v₁ = 236.36 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the bullet on leaving the gun's barrel is 236.36 m/s.

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long. How long is the ot
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long.

How long is the other pipe?

From above;

The formula for the frequency of open ended pipes can be expressed as:

f = \dfrac{nv}{2L}

where n = 1 ( since half wavelength exist between those two pipes)

v = 343 m/s  and L = 2.08 m

Thus, the shorter pipe produces a frequency of :

f = \dfrac{1*343}{2*2.08}

f = \dfrac{343}{4.16}

f =82.45 \ Hz

Also; we know that the beat frequency was given as 8.0 Hz

Then,

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = ( 82.45 - 8.0 )Hz

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = 74.45 Hz

Finally;

From the above equation; make Length L the subject of the formula. Then,

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{nv}{2f}

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{1*343}{2*74.45}

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{343}{148.9}

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m

A billiard ball moving at 0.5 m/s strikes another identical billiard ball, which is at rest, in an elastic head-on collision on
NikAS [45]

Answer: assuming that the billiard balls are of identical weight the impacted billiard ball will move forward at around 0.5m/s (not considering energy conservation). The ball impacting the 2nd one would stop because most of its Kinetic energy would have been transferred into the not moving ball.

Explanation: hope this helps!

two punds of water vapor at 30 psia fill the 4ft3 left chmaber of a partitioned system. The right chmaber has twice the volume o
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

pressure of water will be 49.7 atm

Explanation:

given data

pressure = 30 psi = 2.04 atm

water = 2 pound = 907.18

mole of water vapor = 907.19 /2 = 50.4 mole

volume = 4 ft³ = 113.2 L

temperature = 40 F = 277.59 K

to find out

pressure of water

solution

we will apply here ideal gas condition

that is

PV = nRT  .......................1

put here all value and here R = 0.0821 , T temperature and V volume and P pressure and n is no of mole

and we get here temperature

PV = nRT  

2.04 × 113.2 = 50.4×0.0821×T

solve it and we get

T = 55.8 K

so we have given right chamber has twice the volume of the left chamber i.e

volume = twice of volume + volume

volume = 2(113.2) + 113.2

volume = 339.6 L

so from equation 1 pressure will be

PV = nRT

P(339.6) = 50.4 × ( 0.0821) × (277.59)

P = 3.3822 atm = 49.7 atm

so pressure of water will be 49.7 atm
