A bullet of mass 11.1 g is fired into an initially stationary block and comes to rest in the block. The block, of mass 1.01 kg,

is subject to no horizontal external forces during the collision with the bullet. After the collision, the block is observed to move at a speed of 5.30 m/s.(a) Find the initial speed of the bullet.(b) How much kinetic energy is lost?

Answer:

a) The initial speed of the bullet is 488 m/s

b) The loss of kinetic energy is 1.3 × 10³ J.

Explanation:

Hi there!

To solve this problem we have to use the conservation of momentum:

initial momentum of the bullet + initial momentum of the block =

final momentum of the block-bullet system

The momentum of an object is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p = momentum

m = mass of the object.

v = velocity.

Then, in our system:

p₁₁ = initial momentum of the bullet.

p₂₁ = initial momentum of the block.

p₃₂ = final momentum of the block-bullet system.

p₁₁ + p₂₁ =  p₃₂

The initial momentum of the bullet will be:

p₁₁ = m · v

p₁₁ = 0.0111 kg · v

The initial momentum of the block will be:

p₂₁ = 1.01 kg · 0 m/s = 0 kg · m/s

The final momentum of the block-bullet system will be:

p₃₂ = (1.01 kg + 0.0111 kg) · 5.30 m/s

Then, by conservation of the momentum:

initial momentum of the bullet = momentum of the block-bullet system

0.0111 kg · v = (1.01 kg + 0.0111 kg) · 5.30 m/s

v = ((1.01 kg + 0.0111 kg) · 5.30 m/s)/ 0.0111 kg

v = 488 m/s

The initial speed of the bullet is 488 m/s

b) The initial kinetic energy (KE) of the system is the kinetic energy of the bullet because the block is at rest:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

KE = 1/2 · 0.0111 kg · (488 m/s)²

KE = 1.32 × 10³ J

The final kinetic energy of the system will be the kinetic energy of the block-bullet system:

KE = 1/2 · (1.01 kg + 0.0111 kg) · (5.30 m/s)²

KE = 14.3 J

The loss of kinetic energy will be:

initial kinetic energy - final kinetic energy

1.32 × 10³ J - 14.3 J = 1.3 × 10³ J

The loss of kinetic energy is 1.3 × 10³ J.

A cosmic ray electron moves at 7.50×106 m/s perpendicular to the Earth’s magnetic field at an altitude where field strength is 1
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

4.266 m.

Explanation:

Given,

Speed of the electron = 7.50 x 10⁶ m/s

Magnetic field, B = 1 x 10⁻⁵ T

radius of circular path = ?

Using formula of radius of curvature of the charge particle

r = \dfrac{mv}{qB}

m is mass of electron

q is charge of electron

r = \dfrac{9.11 \times 10^{-31}\times 7.50\times 10^6}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1 \times 10^{-5}}

r = 4.266 m

Hence, radius of circular path is equal to 4.266 m.

A circular coil that has 100 turns and a radius of 10.0 cm lies in a magnetic field that has a magnitude of 0.0650 T directed pe
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

(a) 0.204 Weber

(b) 0.22 Volt

Explanation:

N = 100, radius, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m, B = 0.0650 T, angle is 90 degree with the plane of coil, so theta = 0 degree with the normal of coil.

(a) Magnetic flux, Ф = N x B x A

Ф = 100 x 0.0650 x 3.14 x 0.1 0.1

Ф = 0.204 Weber

(b) B1 = 0.0650 T, B2 = 0.1 T, dt = 0.5 s

dB / dt = (B2 - B1) / dt = (0.1 - 0.0650) / 0.5 = 0.07 T / s

induced emf, e = N dФ/dt

e = N x A x dB/dt

e = 100 x 3.14 x 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.07 = 0.22 V

Where do scientists believe the missing carbon is going? Why are they not sure?
White raven [17]

Answer:  Scientists believe the missing carbon has found a sink in the Northern Forest. Scientist have come up with this idea because they believe consequences of global warming contributed to significant extent to the northern forest carbon sinking processes. In addition to that, scientists describe a process where the oceans of the world sink carbon to create a balance of the ecosystem. That is why they are not 100% sure.

Since the aluminum bar is not an isolated system, the second law of thermodynamics cannot be applied to the bar alone. Rather, i
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

ΔS total ≥ 0 (ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings)

Explanation:

Assuming that the entropy change in the aluminium bar is due to heat exchange with the surroundings ( the lake) , then the entropy change of the aluminium bar is, according to the second law of thermodynamics, :

ΔS al ≥ ∫dQ/T

if the heat transfer is carried out reversibly

ΔS al =∫dQ/T  

in the surroundings

ΔS surr ≥ -∫dQ/T = -ΔS al → ΔS surr ≥ -ΔS al = - (-1238 J/K) = 1238 J/K

the total entropy change will be

ΔS total = ΔS al + ΔS surr

ΔS total ≥ ΔS al + (-ΔS al) =

ΔS total ≥ 0

the total entropy change will be ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings
