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

Why is wavelength the main limiting factor on limit of resolution in light microscopy?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
The resolution<span> of a </span>microscope is the smallest resolvable distance between two objects. It is <span>defined as the shortest distance between two points on a specimen and the observer can still distinguish them.
</span>The wavelength is a determining and limiting factor in the degree of resolution afforded by the microscope. The relationship between the wavelength and the resolution is:
<span>Shorter wavelengths yield higher resolution </span>and visa versa.

a police officer finds 60 m of skid marks at the scene of a car crash. Assuming a uniform deceleration of 7.5 m/s to a stop , wh
Oliga [24]
The equation to be used is for the rectilinear motion at constant acceleration:

x = v₀t + 0.5at²
a = (v-v₀)/t
where
x is distance
v and v₀ is the final and initial velocity
t is time
a is acceleration

Because the acceleration is decelerating, that would be reported as -7.5 m/s². Substituting,

-7.5 = (0 - v₀)/t
v₀ = 7.5 t --> eqn 1

x = v₀t + 0.5at²
60 = (7.5t)(t) + 0.5(-7.5)(t²)
Solving for t,
t = 4s

Thus,
v₀ = 7.5 m/s² * 4s
v₀ = 30 m/s

What is the power dissipated by a 50.0 ohm resistor?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The power, in watts, dissipated as heat in a resistor varies jointly with the resistance, in ohms, and the square of the current, in amperes. A 15-ohm resistor carrying a current of 1 ampere dissipates 15 watts. How much power is dissipated in a 5-ohm resistor carrying a current of 3 amperes?

Volume of an block is 5 cm3. If the density of the block is 250 g/cm3, what is the mass of the block ?​
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The mass of the block is 1250g.

Explanation:

Given that the formula for density is ρ = mass/volume. Then you have to substitute the values into the formula :

ρ =  \frac{mass}{volume}

Let density = 250,

Let volume = 5,

250 =  \frac{m}{5}

m = 250 \times 5

m = 1250g
