A ballistic pendulum can be used to measure the speed of a projectile, such as a bullet. The ballistic pendulum consists of a st

ationary 2.50- kg block of wood suspended by a wire of negligible mass. A 0.0100- kg bullet is fired into the block, and the block (with the bullet in it) swings to a maximum height of 0.650 m above the initial position (see class note for drawing). Find the speed with which the bullet is fired, assuming that air resistance is negligible.

Answer:

v_1 = 896.35 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that bullet + pendulum system will move to the height of 0.650 m above the initial position

so here we can use energy conservation to find the speed just after the bullet hit the block

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2(9.81)(0.650)}

v = 3.57 m/s

Now we can use momentum conservation to find the initial speed of the bullet

m_1v_1 = (m_1 + m_2)v

0.0100 v_1 = (2.50 + 0.01)(3.57)

v_1 = 896.35 m/s

What is dark energy?
expeople1 [14]
Dark energy is a theoretical repulsive energy that causes the acceleration to the expansion of the universe. Among the choices, the nearest answer would be D. Dark energy can also be defined as a new form of energy, that is a dynamic field that fills up space but has an effect opposite to that of normal energy.
