A 25.0-gram bullet enters a 2.25-kg watermelon with a speed of 220 m/s and exits the opposite side with a speed of 110 m/s. If t

he melon was originally at rest, then what speed will it have as the bullet leaves its opposite side?

Answer:

3.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

mu+m'u' = mv+m'v'............................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the bullet, m' = mass of the watermelon, u = initial velocity of the bullet, u' = initial velocity of the watermelon, v =  final velocity of the bullet, v' = final velocity of the watermelon.

make v' the subject of the equation,

v' = (mu+m'u'-mv)/m'....................... Equation 2

Given: m = 25 g = 0.025 kg, u = 220 m/s, m' = 2.25 kg, u' = 0 m/s ( at rest), v = 110 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

v' =[ (0.025×220) +(2.25×0)+(0.025×110)]/2.25

v' = 3.67 m/s.

Hence the velocity of the watermelon = 3.67 m/s

The volume of liquid flowing per second is called the volume flow rate Q and has the dimensions of [L]3/[T]. The flow rate of li
melamori03 [73]

Answer: n=4

Explanation:

We have the following expression for the volume flow rate Q of a hypodermic needle:

Q=\frac{\pi R^{n}(P_{2}-P_{1})}{8\eta L}  (1)

Where the dimensions of each one is:

Volume flow rate Q=\frac{L^{3}}{T}

Radius of the needle R=L

Length of the needle L=L

Pressures at opposite ends of the needle P_{2} and P_{1}=\frac{M}{LT^{2}}

Viscosity of the liquid \eta=\frac{M}{LT}

We need to find the value of n whicha has no dimensions, and in order to do this, we have to rewritte (1) with its dimensions:

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi L^{n}(\frac{M}{LT^{2}})}{8(\frac{M}{LT}) L}  (2)

We need the right side of the equation to be equal to the left side of the equation (in dimensions):

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{n}}{LT}  (3)

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{n-1}}{T}  (4)

As we can see n must be 4 if we want the exponent to be 3:

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{4-1}}{T}  (5)

Finally:

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{3}}{T}  (6)
