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

At higher speeds, how would you compensate for the decrease in field of vision
inysia [295]
When you ride a vehicle in a fast speed, then your peripheral vision will reduce that is why there is a need for you to follow the direction of the objects when you are travelling in order for you to compensate to the decrease in the field of vision.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

θ=19.877⁰

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity Va=34.0 km/h

Velocity Va=100 km/h

To find

Angle θ

Solution  

We want the bird to fly with velocity Vb=100 km/h with an angle θ relative to the ground so that the bird fly due south relative to the ground.From figure which is attached we got

Sinθ=(Va/Vb)

Sinθ=(34.0/100)

θ=Sin⁻¹(34.0/100)

θ=19.877⁰

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Physical quantity is a physical property of an object or material that can be expressed by magnitude and unit.

The derived physical quantities are the type of physical quantities which can be expressed or defined by other physical quantities, called the base quantities. Example: Area, Volume, Velocity

Area- SI Unit: m², U.S. Customary unit: acre

Volume- SI Unit: m³, U.S. Customary unit: cubic inch

Velocity- SI Unit: m/s, U.S. Customary unit: ft/s
