A 110. g wooden block is initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface when a 12.8 g bullet is fired horizontally into (but do

es not go through) it. After the impact, the block–bullet combination slides 6.5 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.750, determine the speed of the bullet (in m/s) immediately before impact.

Answer:

94 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

V = Speed of the bullet-block combination after collision

d = distance traveled by the combination before coming to stop = 6.5 m

\mu = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.750

acceleration due to friction on a flat surface can be given as

a = - \mu g = - (0.750) (9.8) = - 7.35 ms^{-2}

V_{f} = Final speed of the combination = 0 m/s

Based on the above equation , we can use the kinematics equation as

V_{f}^{2} = V^{2} + 2 a d\\(0)^{2} = V^{2} + 2 (- 7.35) (6.5)\\V = 9.8 ms^{-1}

M = mass of the wooden block = 110 g

m = mass of the bullet = 12.8 g

v = Speed of the bullet before collision

Using conservation of momentum for inelastic collision , we have

m v = (m + M) V\\(12.8) v = (12.8 + 110) (9.8)\\v = 94 ms^{-1}

The gauge pressure in the tires of your car is 210 kPa (30.5 psi) when the temperature is 25°C (77 °F). Several days later it is
DaniilM [7]

Under the assumption that the tires do not change in volume, apply Gay-Lussac's law:

P/T = const.

P = pressure, T = temperature, the quotient of P/T must stay constant.

Initial P and T values:

P = 210kPa + 101.325kPa

P = 311.325kPa (add 101.325 to change gauge pressure to absolute pressure)

T = 25°C = 298.15K

Final P and T values:

P = ?, T = 0°C = 273.15K

Set the initial and final P/T values equal to each other and solve for the final P:

311.325/298.15 = P/273.15

P = 285.220kPa

Subtract 101.325kPa to find the final gauge pressure:

285.220kPa - 101.325kPa = 183.895271kPa

The final gauge pressure is 184kPa or 26.7psi.

A 2.00 kg ball is thrown upward at Some unknown angle from the top of a 20.0 M high building If the initial magnitude of the vel
mixer [17]

Answer:

792 J

Explanation:

The total energy of the ball is E = U + K where U = potential energy = mgh and K = kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

E = mgh + 1/2mv² where m = mass of ball = 2.0 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height of building = 20.0 m, v = initial velocity of ball = 20.0 m/s.

So, substituting the values of the variables into E, we have

E = mgh + 1/2mv²

= 2.00 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20.0 m + 1/2 × 2.00 kg × (20.0 m/s)²

=  392 J + 400 J

= 792 J

What makes magnetic objects different from non- magnetic objects?
