Force = mass x acceleration
15 = mass x 4
Mass = 15/4
Mass = 3.75 Kg
Answer:
16 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
y momentum = 0.080 *25 = 2
x momentum = 0.075*20 = 1.5
total momentum = √(4 + 2.25)
Total momentum = √6.25
Total momentum = 2.5
total mass = mass of x and y momentum = 0.075 + 0.080 = 0.155
speed of mass center = total momentum / total mass = 2.5/0.155 = 16.
And thus, the speed of the center of mass of this two-particle system at this instant is 16 m/s
Based on the answer provided, it seems the writer wanted you to assume that the energy loss per plank is constant. This is not the same as the bullet losing <span><span>1/nth</span><span>1/nth</span></span><span> of its velocity per plank (however, the fact that the question does not mention this assumption arguably makes the question ambiguous).
</span><span>With this assumption, the energy loss becomes
</span><span>
ΔE = <span>1/2 </span>m<span>v2 </span>− <span>1/2 </span>m <span><span>(<span>v−<span>v/n</span></span>) </span><span>2
</span></span></span>
and the number of planks <span>NN</span><span> becomes
</span>
N = <span><span><span>1/2</span>m<span>v2 /</span></span><span>ΔE </span></span>= <span><span>n2/ </span><span>2n−1
</span></span>
Otherwise, if you assume that the bullet loses <span><span>1/<span>nth</span></span><span>1/<span>nth</span></span></span><span> of its velocity per plank, then the answer is </span><span><span>N=∞</span></span><span><span>

Answer:
so simple it is a square formula
