Using the word "Terminal" which means end, we can conclude that, in a nutshell, terminal velocity is when an object reaches a speed where it cannot go any faster. For example, if you jumped of the Empire State building, before you went "KURSPAT!" on the pavement below, you would enter Terminal Velocity. Your fall off the Empire State building would also be "terminal". eh? Hahahaha never try a physics joke.

0.A 20-g bullet moving at 1 000 m/s is fired through a one-kg block of wood emerging at a speed of 100 m/s. What is the kinetic

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

KE = 0.162 KJ

Explanation:

given,

mass of bullet (m)= 20 g = 0.02 Kg

speed of the bullet (u)= 1000 m/s

mass of block(M) = 1 Kg

velocity of bullet after collision (v)= 100 m/s

kinetic energy = ?

using conservation of momentum

m u = m v + M V

0.02 x 1000 = 0.02 x 100 + 1 x V

20 = 2 + V

V = 18 m/s

now,

Kinetic energy of the block

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1 \times 18^2$

KE = 162 J

KE = 0.162 KJ

A solid, uniform disk of radius 0.250 m and mass 45.2 kg rolls down a ramp of length 5.40 m that makes an angle of 17.0° with th

serious [3.7K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the disk, r = 0.25 m

Mass, m = 45.2 kg

Length of the ramp, l = 5.4 m

Angle made by the ramp with horizontal, $\theta=17^{\circ}$

Solution,

As the disk starts from rest from the top of the ramp, the potential energy is equal to the sum of translational kinetic energy and the rotational kinetic energy or by using the law of conservation of energy as :

(a) $mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

h is the height of the ramp

$sin\theta=\dfrac{h}{5.4}$

$h=sin(17)\times 5.4=1.57\ m$

v is the speed of the disk's center

I is the moment of inertia of the disk,

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2$

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}$

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2\times (\dfrac{v}{r})^2$

$gh=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2+\dfrac{1}{4}v^2$

$gh=\dfrac{3}{4}v^2$

$9.8\times 1.57=\dfrac{3}{4}v^2$

v = 4.52 m/s

(b) At the bottom of the ramp, the angular speed of the disk is given by :

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}$

$\omega=\dfrac{4.52}{0.25}$

$\omega=18.08\ rad/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

No getting rid of fossil fuel is not at all possible.

Explanation:

Dream of 100% renewable energy is possible through electrification and use of energy from sun, water and wind. Since, the high production cost of power plant for extracting energy from these sources in itself is a big challenge and hence decarbonized energy in current scenario is not realistic.
