A lead pellet of mass 10.0g is shot horizontally into a stationary wooden block of mass 100g. The pellet hits the block with an

impact velocity of 250ms^–1. It embeds itself in the block and it does not emerge.
What will be the speed of the block immediately after the pellet is embedded?

An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.95 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 5.00 m/s from a height of 1.60 m above

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a) No

b) the rock must have a minimum initial speed of 6.79m/s for it to reach the top of the building.

Explanation:

Given:

Height of the wall = 3.95m

Initial height = 1.60m

Initial speed = 5.00m/s

distance between the initial height and wall top = 3.95 - 1.60 = 2.35m

Using the formula;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as ....1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance travelled

From equation 1

s = (v^2 - u^2)/2a ...2

Since the rock t moving up,

the acceleration = -g = -9.8m/s2

s = maximum height travelled

v = 0 (at maximum height velocity is zero)

Substituting into equation 2

s = (0 - 5^2)/(2×-9.8) = 1.28m

Therefore, the maximum height is 1.28 from his initial height Which is less than the 2.35m of the wall from his initial height. So the rock will not reach the top of the wall

b) Using equation 1:

u^2 = v^2 - 2as

v = 0

a = -9.8m/s

s = 2.35m. (distance between the initial height and wall top)

u^2 = 0 - 2(-9.8 × 2.35)

u^2 = 46.06

u = √46.06

u = 6.79m/s

Therefore, the rock must have a minimum initial speed of 6.79m/s

A solid cylinder of mass 7 kg and radius 0.9 m starts from rest at the top of a 20º incline. It is released and rolls without sl

ohaa [14]

Answer:

157.8 J

Explanation:

m = mass of the cylinder = 7 kg

h = height difference in top and bottom of the incline = 2.3 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

TE = Total Energy at the bottom

PE = Gravitational potential energy at the top

Using conservation of energy

Total Energy at the bottom = Gravitational potential energy at the top

TE = PE

TE = m g h

TE = (7) (9.8) (2.3)

TE = 157.8 J

. Consider the equation =0+0+02/2+03/6+04/24+5/120, where s is a length and t is a time. What are the dimensions and SI units of

Olegator [25]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

$s=s_0+v_0t+\frac{a_0t^2}{2}+ \frac{j_0t^3}{6}+\frac{S_0t^4}{24}+\frac{ct^5}{120}$

Solving (a): Units and dimension of $s_0$

From the question, we understand that:

$s \to L$ --- length

$t \to T$ --- time

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=s_0$

Rewrite as:

$s_0=s$

This implies that $s_0$ has the same unit and dimension as $s$

Hence:

$s_0 \to L$ --- dimension

$s_o \to$ Length (meters, kilometers, etc.)

Solving (b): Units and dimension of $v_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=v_0t$

Rewrite as:

$v_0t = s$

Make $v_0$ the subject

$v_0 = \frac{s}{t}$

Replace s and t with their units

$v_0 = \frac{L}{T}$

$v_0 = LT^{-1}$

Hence:

$v_0 \to LT^{-1}$ --- dimension

$v_0 \to$ $m/s$ --- unit

Solving (c): Units and dimension of $a_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{a_0t^2}{2}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{a_0t^2}{2} = s_0$

Make $a_0$ the subject

$a_0 = \frac{2s_0}{t^2}$

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

$a_0 = \frac{L}{T^2}\\$

$a_0 = LT^{-2$

Hence:

$a_0 = LT^{-2$ --- dimension

$a_0 \to$ $m/s^2$ --- acceleration

Solving (d): Units and dimension of $j_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{j_0t^3}{6}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{j_0t^3}{6} = s$

Make $j_0$ the subject

$j_0 = \frac{6s}{t^3}$

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

$j_0 = \frac{L}{T^3}$

$j_0 = LT^{-3}$

Hence:

$j_0 = LT^{-3}$ --- dimension

$j_0 \to$ $m/s^3$ --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of $s_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{S_0t^4}{24}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{S_0t^4}{24} = s$

Make $S_0$ the subject

$S_0 = \frac{24s}{t^4}$

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

$S_0 = \frac{L}{T^4}$

$S_0 = LT^{-4$

Hence:

$S_0 = LT^{-4$ --- dimension

$S_0 \to$ $m/s^4$ --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of $c$

Ignore other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{ct^5}{120}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{ct^5}{120} = s$

Make $c$ the subject

$c = \frac{120s}{t^5}$

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

$c = \frac{L}{T^5}$

$c = LT^{-5}$

Hence:

$c \to LT^{-5}$ --- dimension

$c \to m/s^5$ --- units
