Answer:
a) 
= 4.67m/s
b) V = 8.29 m/s
Explanation:
Givens:
The bullet is 5.30g moving at 963m/s and its speed reduced to 426m/s. The wooden block is 610g.
a) From conservation of linear momentum
Pi = Pf
where 
are the mass and the initial velocity of the bullet, 
and 
are the mass and the initial velocity of the wooden block, and and 
are the final velocities of the wooden block and the bullet
The wooden block is initial at rest 
this yields
By solving for adn substitute the givens
= 
= 
= 4.67m/s
b) The center of mass speed is defined as
substituting:
V = 8.29 m/s
Answer:
6400 m
Explanation:
You need to use the bulk modulus, K:
K = ρ dP/dρ
where ρ is density and P is pressure
Since ρ is changing by very little, we can say:
K ≈ ρ ΔP/Δρ
Therefore, solving for ΔP:
ΔP = K Δρ / ρ
We can calculate K from Young's modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (ν):
K = E / (3 (1 - 2ν))
Substituting:
ΔP = E / (3 (1 - 2ν)) (Δρ / ρ)
Before compression:
ρ = m / V
After compression:
ρ+Δρ = m / (V - 0.001 V)
ρ+Δρ = m / (0.999 V)
ρ+Δρ = ρ / 0.999
1 + (Δρ/ρ) = 1 / 0.999
Δρ/ρ = (1 / 0.999) - 1
Δρ/ρ = 0.001 / 0.999
Given:
E = 69 GPa = 69×10⁹ Pa
ν = 0.32
ΔP = 69×10⁹ Pa / (3 (1 - 2×0.32)) (0.001/0.999)
ΔP = 64.0×10⁶ Pa
If we assume seawater density is constant at 1027 kg/m³, then:
ρgh = P
(1027 kg/m³) (9.81 m/s²) h = 64.0×10⁶ Pa
h = 6350 m
Rounded to two sig-figs, the ocean depth at which the sphere's volume is reduced by 0.10% is approximately 6400 m.
