Answer:

x = 0.54 m

y = 0.058 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the bullet = 16 g = 0.016 kg

v = speed of bullet before collision = 240 m/s

M = mass of the pendulum = 3.6 kg

L = length of the string = 2.5 m

h = height gained by the pendulum after collision

V = speed of the bullet and pendulum combination

Using conservation of momentum

m v = (m + M) V

(0.016) (240) = (0.016 + 3.6) V

V = 1.062 m/s

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by bullet and pendulum combination = Kinetic energy of bullet and pendulum combination

(m + M) g h = (0.5) (m + M) V²

(9.8) h = (0.5) (1.062)²

h = 0.058 m

y = vertical displacement = h = 0.058 m

x = horizontal displacement

horizontal displacement is given as

x = sqrt(L² - (L - h)²)

x =  sqrt(2.5² - (2.5 - 0.058)²)

x = 0.54 m

Ber [7]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

Givens

vi = 20 m/s

vf = 60 m/s

t = 4 second.

Formula

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (60 - 20)/4

a = 40 / 4

a = 10 m/s^2

The density of 2 kilograms of iron on Earth's surface is
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

B. The same on the moon.

Explanation:

The density of an object is the ratio of the mass contained by the object to the volume occupied by that mass.

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

When the object is taken from the earth to anywhere in the universe, its mass remains constant. The dimensions of the object and hence its volume also remains constant anywhere in the universe.

Therefore, the density of the object will also remain the same as it depends upon the mass and the volume of the object.

So, the correct option is:

<u>B. The same on the moon.</u>

Multiple-Concept Example 6 reviews the concepts that play a role in this problem. A diver springs upward with an initial speed o
adell [148]

Answer:

Part a)

v_f = 7.99 m/s

Part b)

y = 3.25 m

Explanation:

Part a)

Since the diver is moving under gravity

so here its acceleration due to gravity will be uniform throughout the motion

so here we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a y

here we have

v_i = 2.22 m/s

y = -3 m

v_f^2 - (2.22)^2 = 2(-9.81)(-3)

v_f = 7.99 m/s

Part b)

at highest point of his motion the final speed will be zero

so we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a (\Delta y)

0 - 2.22^2 = 2(-9.81)(y - 3)

y = 3.25 m

Two lumps of clay having equal masses and speeds, but traveling in opposite directions, collide and stick together. Part A Which
Tom [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of clay = m

velocity is u

By use of conservation of momentum

m x u - m x u = (m + m) x v

v = 0

So, they stick together and comes to rest.
