Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

Notice that the vector v and its x and y-components (vx and vy) form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to find the magnitude of vx, the horizontal component of the velocity.

To find vx, let´s use the following trigonometric rule of right triangles:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 5.7° = vx / 22 m/s

22 m/s · cos 5.7° = vx

vx = 21.9 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 109-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface a
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v₀ = 280.6 m / s

Explanation:

we have the shock between the bullet and the block that we can work with at the moment and another part where the assembly (bullet + block) compresses a spring, which we can work with mechanical energy,

We write the mechanical energy when the shock has passed the bodies

   Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²

We write the mechanical energy when the spring is in maximum compression

Em_{f} = K_{e} \\= \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\    Em_0 = Em_{f}

½ (m + M) v² = ½ k x²

Let's calculate the system speed

   v = √ [k x² / (m + M)]

   v = √[152 ×0.78² / (0.012 +0.109) ]

   v = 27.65 m / s

This is the speed of the bullet + Block system

Now let's use the moment to solve the shock

Before the crash

   p₀ = m v₀

After the crash

p_{f} = (m + M) v

The system is formed by the bullet and block assembly, so the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved

 p_0 =  p_{f}

  m v₀ = (m + M) v

  v₀ = v (m + M) / m

let's calculate

v₀ = 27.83 (0.012 +0.109) /0.012

  v₀ = 280.6 m / s

La tension que se transmite en la cuerda BD es de 75 lb. Calcula el momento de fuerza generada por la cuerda respecto al punto C
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Mc = 1920[lb*in]

Explanation:

Para poder solucionar este problema debemos realizar un análisis estático, por tal motivo lo primero es realizar un diagrama de cuerpo libre con las respectivas fuerzas actuando sobre la barra ABC. DE igual manera calcular la geometría de la configuración mostrada.

El diagrama de cuerpo libre se puede ver en la imagen adjunta, con la solución de este problema.

Lo primero es determinar el angulo t, el cual por medio de las propiedades del triangulo rectángulo se puede determinar.

Con este angulo (t) ya determinado, fijamos la atención en el triangulo BCD, este triangulo no es rectángulo, pero por medio de la ley de senos podemos determinar el angulo omega.

Después de determinar el angulo omega, restamos el angulo (t) para poder determinar el angulo (a).

Seguidamente realizamos una sumatoria de momentos alrededor del punto C, utilizado las respectivas fuerzas con los ángulos descompuestos.

El momento en el punto C es de 1920 [Lb*in].

Nota: ya que no se menciona la fuerza en el punto A, esta se desprecia y no se tiene en cuenta en los calculos. En la imagen adjunta se puede ver el procedimiento desarrollado.

What happens to the movement of particles in a liquid when it is heated?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.
