A 0.0233-kg bullet is fired horizontally into a 2.41-kg wooden block attached to one end of a massless, horizontal spring (k = 8

45 N/m). The other end of the spring is fixed in place, and the spring is unstrained initially. The block rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The bullet strikes the block perpendicularly and quickly comes to a halt within it. As a result of this completely inelastic collision, the spring is compressed along its axis and causes the block/bullet to oscillate with an amplitude of 0.196 m. What is the speed of the bullet?

Answer:

v= 381.82\ m/s

Explanation:

Given,

mass of the bullet, m = 0.0233 Kg

Mass of the block, M = 2.41 Kg

horizontal spring constant, k = 845 N/m

Amplitude of oscillation, A = 0.196 m

Using conservation of energy when the bullet is embedded

PE = KE

\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} Mv^2

v =A \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{M}}

v =0.196\times \sqrt{\dfrac{845}{2.41+0.0233}}

v= 3.65\ m/s

Now using conservation of  momentum to calculate the initial velocity of bullet

m V = M v

0.0233\times v=(2.41+ 0.0233)\times 3.65

v= 381.82\ m/s

Answer:

0° FROM or 180° TO

Explanation:

A course deviation indicator or the CDI may be defined as an avionics tool or instrument that is used in the aircraft navigation which is used to determine an aircraft's lateral position with relation to a course.

While using the VOT service, we should tune the VOT frequency of the VOR receiver. And with the CDI leveled centered, the omnibearing selector or the OBS should read as 0° with the TO/FROM indicator showing 'FROM'. Else the OBS should read as 180° with the TO/FROM indication showing 'TO.'

A hair dryer is basically a duct of constant diameter in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls
nekit [7.7K]

Given:

density of air at inlet, \rho_{a} = 1.20 kg/m_{3}

density of air at inlet, \rho_{b} = 1.05 kg/m_{3}

Solution:

Now,

\dot{m} = \dot{m_{a}} = \dot{m_{b}}

\rho_{a} A v_{a} = \rho _{b} Av_{b}                        (1)

where

A = Area of cross section

v_{a} = velocity of air at inlet

v_{b} = velocity of air at outlet

Now, using eqn (1), we get:

\frac{v_{b}}{v_{a}} = \frac{\rho_{a}}{\rho_{b}}

\frac{v_{b}}{v_{a}} = \frac{1.20}{1.05} = 1.14

% increase in velocity = 1.14\times 100 =114%

which is 14% more

Therefore % increase in velocity is 14%

What is necessary to designate a position? A. a reference point B. a direction C. fundamental units D. motion E. all of these
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

E. all of these

Explanation:

The designation of a point in space all the points that necessary

- reference point

- a direction

- fundamental units

- a direction

- motion

all are necessary to designate a point in space. Hence option E is correct.

For example in simple harmonic motion we need to specify all the above factors of the object in order to designate the position of the object.
