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:

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

How is an anion formed?

Trava [24]

Answer:

Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.

A ball thrown vertically upward is caught by the thrower after 2.00 s. Find (a) the initial velocity of the ball and (b) the max

ankoles [38]

Answer:

a) 9.8 m/s

b) 4.9 m

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equations for this situation are:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

$V^{2}={V_{o}}^{2}-2gy$ (2)

Where:

$y$ is the height of the ball at a given time

$y_{o}=0m$ is the initial height of the ball (assuming the hand of the thrower the origin of the system)

$V_{o}$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$V$ is the final velocity of the ball

$t=2s$ is the time it takes for the ball to make the complete movement (from the moment it is thrown until it falls back into the pitcher's hands)

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h3>a) Initial velocity </h3>

In order to find the initial velocity $V_{o}$ of the ball, we will use equation (1) and $t=2s$ , taking into account that $y=0 m$ and $y_{o}=0m$ at this given time:

$0=0+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (3)

Isolating $V_{o}$ :

$V_{o}=\frac{1}{2}gt$ (4)

$V_{o}=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^{2})(2 s)$ (5)

Then:

$V_{o}=9.8 m/s$ (6)

<h3>b) Maximum height </h3>

In this part, we will use equation (2), knowing the value of the height is maximum when $V=0$ . So, we will name this height as $y_{max}$ :

$0={V_{o}}^{2}-2gy_{max}$ (7)

Isolating $y_{max}$ :

$y_{max}=\frac{{V_{o}}^{2}}{2g}$ (8)

$y_{max}=\frac{{(9.8 m/s)}^{2}}{2(9.8 m/s^{2})}$ (9)

Finally:

$y_{max}=4.9 m$

Which of the following observations represent conclusive evidence of an interaction? (Select all that apply.)

9966 [12]

Answer:

a,b,d and e are correct.

Explanation:

a) Change of temperature without change of velocity is a conclusive evidence of an interaction. As the temperature of a body will only change if heat energy is flows in or out of the body with surrounding. So, option a) is correct.

b) Change of the direction without change of speed is an evidence of an interaction. The direction changes when the object is under a perpendicular acceleration acceleration which clearly means the particle is interacting or external force applied. So, option b is correct.

d) Change of shape or configuration without change of velocity is conclusive evidence of an interaction. The shape can change only if external stress is applied on the particle. So, Option d is correct.

e) Change of identity without change of velocity is a conclusive evidence of an interaction. The identity of an object can only change if it interacts with surroundings. So, option e is correct

Therefore the only incorrect option is c .
