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}

A diver leaves the end of a 4.0 m high diving board and strikes the water 1.3s later, 3.0m beyond the end of the board. Consider
shutvik [7]

Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.

Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is

d=v_x t

where here we have

d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered

vx is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall

Solving for vx,

v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{3.0 m}{1.3 s}=2.3 m/s

Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4.0 m is the initial height

vy is the initial vertical velocity

We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy

0=h+v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\v_y = \frac{0.5gt^2-h}{t}=\frac{0.5(9.8 m/s^2)(1.3 s)^2-4.0 m}{1.3 s}=3.3 m/s

So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(2.3 m/s)^2+(3.3 m/s)^2}=4.0 m/s

A horizontal circular curve on a highway is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. If the radius of the curve is 150 m, and if
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The value of  the correct angle of banking for the road is \theta = 67.76 °

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity (v) = 60 \frac{m}{s}

Radius = 150 m

The velocity of the car in this case is given by

v = \sqrt{r g \tan \theta}

v^{2} = r g \tan \theta

\tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{rg}

Put all the values in above formula we get

\tan \theta = \frac{60^{2} }{(150)(9.81)}

\tan \theta = 2.446

\theta = 67.76 °

Therefore the value of  the correct angle of banking for the road is \theta = 67.76 °

1. Los Angeles lies on Pacific plate, San Francisco lies on North American plate. When will the two cities meet if the distance
spin [16.1K]

Los Angeles lies on the Pacific plate, San Francisco lies on the North American plate, and the meeting point of the two cities is mathematically given as

T = 120 x 105 years

<h3>What is the meeting point of the two plates?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Distance is mathematically given as

D = Rate x Time

Therefore

T = D/R

T = (600 x 105) / 5

T = 120 x 105 years

In conclusion, the meeting point of the two plates will be

T = 120 x 105 years
