A block of mass 1.3 kg is resting at the base of a frictionless ramp. A bullet of mass 50 g is traveling parallel to the ramp su

rface at 250 m/s. It collides with the block, enters it, and exits the other side at 100 m/s. How far up the ramp will the block travel?

Answer:

s = 2.65 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of block,M = 1.3 Kg

mass of bullet,m = 50 g = 0.05 Kg

speed of bullet,u  = 250 m/s

speed of bullet after collision,v = 100 m/s

distance traveled by the block = ?

Assuming the angle of inclination of ramp equal to 40°

calculating the speed of the block

using conservation of momentum

M u' + m u = m v + M v'

initial speed of the block is equal to zero

0 + 0.05 Kg x 250 = 0.05 x 100 + 1.3 x v'

1.3 v' = 7.5

  v' = 5.77 m/s

now, calculation of acceleration

equation  the horizontal component

-mg sin θ = ma

  a = - g sin θ

  a = - 9.8 x sin 40°  

  a = -6.29 m/s²

using equation of motion for the calculation of distance moved by the block

v² = u² + 2 a s

0² = 5.77² + 2 x (-6.29) x s

12.58 s = 33.29

s = 2.65 m

hence, the distance moved by the block is equal to 2.65 m

Do you have to keep citing the same source
emmasim [6.3K]
I don't think so as long as you make it apparent that the information comes the same source. So citing over and over again is unnecessary as long as it's clear that the information is from the same website or source. If you can't make it clear that they are from the same website source, it would a safe choice to continue to cite to avoid allegations of plagiarism.
