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 50.0-turn circular coil of radius 5.00 cm can be oriented in any direction in a uniform magnetic field having a magnitude of 0
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The maximum torque in the coil is 4.9\times 10^{-3}\ N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns in the circular coil, N = 50

Radius of coil, r = 5 cm

Magnetic field, B = 0.5 T

Current in coil, I = 25 mA

We need to find the magnitude of the maximum possible torque exerted on the coil. The magnetic torque is given by :

\tau=NIAB\ \sin\theta

For maximum torque, \theta=90^{\circ}

\tau=NIAB\\\\\tau=50\times 25\times 10^{-3}\times \pi (0.05)^2\times 0.5\\\\\tau=4.9\times 10^{-3}\ N-m

So, the maximum torque in the coil is 4.9\times 10^{-3}\ N-m.

When you drop soap on the ground does the ground get dirty or does the soap get clean?
Greeley [361]

No, and no.  In fact, the consequences are exactly opposite to your description.  

When you drop soap on the ground, the soap ... which had been clean ... gets dirty, and the ground ... which had been dirty ... gets clean.

Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are related in that both
kaheart [24]

Answer:

allow the downward movement of the concentration gradient by passive transport

Explanation:

Passive transport is a process of substance transport, which is carried out spontaneously, without energy expenditure and in favor of the concentration gradient, that is, from a medium where the molecules are more concentrated towards a medium where their concentration is lower.

Three types of passive transport are distinguished: osmosis, simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion

<u>Simple diffusion</u>

It is the passage, through the plasma membrane, of small molecules without charge soluble in the lipid bilayer, such as some gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide). For a molecule to diffuse through the membrane it is necessary that there is a difference in concentration between the external and the internal environment.

<u>Diffusion facilitated </u>

There are molecules such as amino acids, glucose and small ions that, due to their chemical and size characteristics, cannot diffuse through the lipid bilayer and require transport proteins for diffusion.

The transport proteins are immersed in the plasma membrane and can be of two types: protein channels, formed by proteins that generate a channel in the membrane, and permeases, which are proteins that, when joined to the molecule to be transported, change their shape by carrying them into the cell.
