A(n) 14 g bullet is fired into a(n) 121 g block of wood at rest on a horizontal surface and stays inside. After impact, the bloc

k slides 8.3 m before coming to rest. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . If the coefficient of friction between the surface and the block is 0.7, find the speed of the bullet before impact. Answer in units of m/s

Answer:

33.14 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the block is 121g or .121 kg. As the bullet is lodged in the block the total mass is 121+14 = 135 g or 0.135 kg.

The frictional force that makes the block come to a stop is normal force* coefficient of friction = 0.135 * 9.8 * 0.7 = 0.9261 N

As the block comes to rest after sliding for 8.3 meters the energy it was given by the bullet is

0.135 * 9.8 * 0.7 * 8.3

= 7.69 Nm

Now this energy is provided the bullet. So the energy in the bullet was equal to

1/2 * mv² = 0.5 * 14 * v².

0.5 * 0.014 * v^2 = 0.135 * 9.8 * 0.7 * 8.3 = 7.69

=> 0.007 * v² = 7.69

=> v² = 7.69 / 0.007

=> v² = 1098.57

=> v = √1098.57

=> v = 33.14 m/s

What distance does electromagnetic radiation travel in 55.0 μs ?
Komok [63]
Electromagnetic radiation is an energy that is known as light. so electromagnetic radiation will have the same speed as the speed of light which is 3 x 10^8 m/s. so the distance it travel at 55 x 10^-6 s is:
D = ( 3 x 10^8 m/s ) (  55 x 10^-6 s )
D = 16500 m

Which is the correct answer?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Point A

Explanation:

The work done by stretching or compressing a spring is given by E=1/2kx²

The potential energy is numerically equal to the work done.

This means that the higher the bigger the value of the extension, x, the higher the energy contained.

In this scenario the modulus of x is considered.

Among the given values of x the modulus of -5 is the largest.

thus it gives the highest value of energy.
