Answer: 909 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the bullet, m1 = 0.05 kg

Mass of the wooden block, m2 = 5 kg

Final velocities of the block and bullet, v = 9 m/s

Initial velocity of the bullet v1 = ? m/s

From the question, we would notice that there is just an object (i.e the bullet) moving before the collision. Also, even after the collision between the bullet and wood, the bullet and the wood would move as one object. Thus, we would use the conservation of momentum to solve

m1v1 = (m1 + m2) v, on substituting, we have

0.05 * v1 = (0.05 + 5) * 9

0.05 * v1 = 5.05 * 9

0.05 * v1 = 45.45

v1 = 45.45 / 0.05

v1 = 909 m/s

Thus, the original velocity of the bullet was 909 m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in speed over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a. The car's acceleration is:

a = (80 km/h − 0 km/h) / 10 s

a = 8 km/h/s

So every second, the speed increases by 8 km/h.

b. The cyclist's acceleration is:

a = (16 m/s − 4.0 m/s) / 5.6 s

a = 2.1 m/s²

c. The stone's speed is:

10.0 m/s² = (v − 0 m/s) / 3.5 s

v = 35 m/s

d. The time is:

1.6 m/s² = (10 m/s − 0 m/s) / t

t = 6.3 s

Consider a venturi with a small hole drilled in the side of the throat. This hole is connected via a tube to a closed reservoir.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

(P_1-P_2)=1913.31 N/m^2

Explanation:

given:

\frac{A_t}{A_1}=0.85

V_1=90 m/s

γ∞=1.23 kg/m^3

solution:

since outside pressure is atm pressure vaccum can be defined by (P_1-P_2)

V_1=√2(P_1-P_2)/γ∞[\frac{A_t}{A_1}^2-1]

(P_1-P_2)=1913.31 N/m^2

Two protons are maintained at a separation of nm. Calculate the electric potential due to the two particles at the midpoint betw
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The electric potential is approximately 5.8 V

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero

Explanation:

The two protons can be considered as point charges. Therefore, the electric potential is given by the point charge potential:

\displaystyle{U=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}} (1)

where q is the charge of the particle, \epsilon_0 the electric permittivity of the vacuum (I assuming the two protons are in a vacuum) and r is the distance from the point charge to the point where the potential is being measured. Because the electric potential is an scalar, we can simply add the contribution of the two potentials in the midpoint between the protons. Thus:

\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}+\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}}

Substituting the values q=1.602 \cdot10^{-19}\ C, \displaystyle{\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=8.99\cdot 10^9 N\cdot m^2\cdot C^{-2}} and r=0.5 \cdot 10^{-9} m we obtain:

\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}=5.759 \approx 5.8 V}

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero.
