A bullet with a mass of 0.00658 kg is fired through a 1.95 kg block of wood on a frictionless surface. The initial speed of the

bullet is 822 m/s, and the speed of the bullet after it exits the block is 439 m/s. At what speed does the block move after the bullet passes through it?

The final velocity of the block is 1.29 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision. Therefore, we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2$

where:

$m_1 = 0.00658 kg$ is the mass of the bullet

$u_1 = 822 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the bullet

$v_1 = 439 m/s$ is the final velocity of the bullet

$m_2 = 1.95 kg$ is the mass of the block

$u_2 = 0$ is the initial velocity of the block

$v_2$ is the final velocity of the block

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v2, we find:

$v_2 = \frac{m_1 u_1 - m_1 v_1}{m_2}=\frac{(0.00658)(822)-(0.00658)(439)}{1.95}=1.29 m/s$

A gas is compressed from 600cm3 to 200cm3 at a constant pressure of 450kPa . At the same time, 100J of heat energy is transferre

Paraphin [41]

Answer: 80J

Explanation:

According to the first principle of thermodynamics:

<em>"Energy is not created, nor destroyed, but it is conserved." </em>

Then this priciple (also called Law) relates the work and the transferred heat exchanged in a system through the internal energy $U$ , which is neither created nor destroyed, it is only transformed. So, in this especific case of the compressed gas:

$\Delta U=Q+W$ (1)

Where:

$\Delta U$ is the variation in the internal (thermal) energy of the system (the value we want to find)

$Q=-100J$ is the heat transferred out of the gas (that is why it is negative)

$W$ is the work is done on the gas (as the gas is compressed, the work done on the gas must be considered positive )

On the other hand, the work done on the gas is given by:

$W=-P \Delta V$ (2)

Where:

$P=450kPa=450(10)^{3}Pa$ is the constant pressure of the gas

$\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{i}$ is the variation in volume of the gas

In this case the initial volume is $V_{i}=600{cm}^{3}=600(10)^{-6}m^{3}$ and the final volume is $V_{f}=200{cm}^{3}=200(10)^{-6}m^{3}$ .

This means:

$\Delta V=200(10)^{-6}m^{3}-600(10)^{-6}m^{3}=-400(10)^{-6}m^{3}$ (3)

Substituting (3) in (2):

$W=-450(10)^{3}Pa(-400(10)^{-6}m^{3})$ (4)

$W=180J$ (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

$\Delta U=-100J+180J$ (6)

Finally:

$\Delta U=80J$ This is the change in thermal energy in the compression process.
