A 9.6-g bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood having mass m = 4.95 kg. The bullet imbeds into the block. The speed of

the bullet-plus-wood combination immediately after the collision is 0.591 m/s. What was the original speed of the bullet? (Express your answer with four significant figures.)

Answer:

Original speed of the bullet = 305.21 m/s

Explanation:

Here momentum is conserved.

Mass of bullet = 9.6 g = 0.0096 kg

Mass of wood = 4.95 kg

Let velocity of bullet be v.

Initial momentum = 0.0096 v

Final mass = 0.0096 + 4.95 = 4.9596 kg

Final velocity = 0.591 m/s

Final momentum = 4.9596 x 0.591 = 2.93 kgm/s

Equating both momentum

           0.0096 v = 2.93

                      v = 305.21 m/s

Original speed of the bullet = 305.21 m/s

A container with rigid walls is filled with 4.0 mol of air with Cv=2.5R Then the temperature is increased from 17 degrees C to 3
galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

Internal energy = heat + work

U = Q + W

Since there's no change in volume (rigid walls), W = 0.

U = Q

U = n Cᵥ ΔT

U = (4.0 mol) (2.5 × 8.314 J/mol/K) (354 C − 17 C)

U = 28,000 J

How do motors use energy? Do they convert electrical energy into mechanical energy OR mechanical energy into electrical energy?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy

Explanation:

A motor uses electrical energy to create mechanical energy by creating magnetic fields causing the motor to spin. A generator is the opposite and converts mechanical into electrical by spinning a motor in a magnetic field.
