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

Two parallel wires separated by a distance of 0.6 m each carry current in the same direction. One wire is carrying a current of
mart [117]

Answer:

The value is  B =  3.33 *10^{-6} \  T

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The distance of separation is  d = 0.6 \  m

  The current on the one wire is I_1 =  9 \  A

  The current on the second wire is I_2 =  4 \ A

Generally the magnitude of the field exerted between the current carrying wire is

        B  =  B_1 - B_2

Here B_1 is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

         B_1 = \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1}

Here d_1 is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is  

    d_1 =  0.3 \  m

B_2 is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

         B_2  = \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}

Here d_2 is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is  

    d_2 =  0.3 \  m  

This means that d_1 = d_2 = a =  0.3

So

     B =  \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1}  -  \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}

=>  B =  \frac{\mu_o * (I_1 - I_2)}{2 \pi *0.3 }

=>  B =  \frac{  4\pi * 10^{-7}  * (9- 4)}{2 * 3.142  *0.3 }

=>  B =  3.33 *10^{-6} \  T

A pendulum has 294 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
baherus [9]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other.


Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.


Mathematically also potential energy is represented as


Potential energy= mgh


Where m is the mass of the pendulum.


g is the acceleration due to gravity


h is the height from the bottom z the ground.


At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.


The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as


Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2


Where m is the mass of the pendulum


v is the velocity of the pendulum


At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.


Energy can neither be created e destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another. Implying this law and the above explainations we conclude that at the bottom of the pendulum,the potential energy=0 and the kinetic energy=294J as the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom.

A regular polygon has angkes of size 150° each.how many side has the polygon​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: 12

Explanation:

ıf each interior is 150 degrees, then each exterior angle is 180–150 or 30 degrees. Hence the polygon has 360/30 = 12 sides
