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

I know how the voltage increasing/not enough/stays the same and how long the battery lasts with series and parallel connections.
kirill [66]

Answer:

It comes out the positive side of the battery and goes in to the negative side of the battery

Explanation:

There are already electrons in wires in a circuit before you add the battery. By adding the battery, you're giving the electrons the energy it needs to move along the circuit.

In a series circuit, the circuit is one continuous loop so there is only one path for the electrons to go - out of the positive side of the battery and around the circuit then goes back into the negative side of the battery.

However, with a parallel circuit, there are two or more ways the electrons can go so they take the path of least resistance. The electrons still go out the positive side of a battery but along the circuit, the electrons will go through the path of least resistance ( I tend to think of it like a net with holes in it - the lower the resistance the bigger the holes for the electrons to go through so more can fit in a set amount of time ) but the electrons still go out of the positive side and in through the negative

How much heat is required to raise 100 grams of water (c= 4.18) by 5 degrees Celsius?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Heat capacity, Q = 2090 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 100 grams

Specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g°C.

Temperature = 5°C

To find the quantity of heat required;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mct

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

t represents the temperature of an object.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Q = 100*4.18*5

Heat capacity, Q = 2090 Joules.
