A 10.0 g bullet moving at 300m/s is fired into a 1.00 kg block at rest. The bullet emerges (the bullet does not get embedded in

the block) with half of its orginal speed. What is the velocity of the block right after the collision?

Answer:

v' = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the bullet, m = 10 g

initial speed of the bullet, v = 300 m/s

final speed of the bullet after collision, v' = 300/2 = 150 m/s

Mass of the block, M = 1 Kg

initial speed of the block, u = 0 m/s

velocity of the block after collision, u' = ?

using conservation of momentum

 m v + Mu = m v' + M u'

 0.01 x 300 + 0 = 0.01 x 150 + 1 x v'

v' = 0.01 x 150

v' = 1.5 m/s

Speed of the block after collision is equal to v' = 1.5 m/s

You can use _______________ to change a liquid into a gas.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

below

Explanation: When a liquid changes into a gas vaporization has occurred. The process can either occur due to boiling or evaporation. Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of the liquid is raised (by heating) to the point where it is equal to the atmospheric pressure.

If the wave represents a sound wave, explain how increasing amplitude will affect the loudness of the sound? If we decrease the
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Think of a sound wave like a wave on the ocean, or lake... It's not really water moving, as much as it's energy moving through the water. Ever see something floating on the water, and notice that it doesn't come in with the wave, but rides over the top and back down into the trough between them? Sound waves are very similar to that. If you looked at a subwoofer speaker being driven at say... 50 cycles a second, you'd actually be able to see the speaker cone moving back and forth. The more power you feed into the speaker, the more it moves back and forth, not more quickly, as that would be a higher frequency, but further in and further out, still at 50 cycles per second. Every time it pushed out, it's compressing the air in front of it... the compressed air moves away from the speaker's cone, but not as a breeze or wind, but as a wave through the air, similar to a wave on the ocean

More power, more amplitude, bigger "wave", louder ( to the human ear) sound.

If you had a big speaker ( subwoofer ) and ran a low frequency signal with enough power in it, you could hold a piece of paper in front of it, and see the piece of paper move in and out at exactly the same frequency as the speaker cone. The farther away from the speaker you got, the less it'd move as the energy of the sound wave dispersed through the room.

Sound is a wave

We hear because our eardrums resonates with this wave I.e. our ear drums will vibrate with the same frequency and amplitude. which is converted to an electrical signal and processed by our brain.

By increasing the amplitude our eardrums also vibrate with a higher amplitude which we experience as a louder sound.

Of course when this amplitude is too high the resulting resonance tears our eardrums so that they can't resonate with the sound wave I.e. we become deaf

A car of mass m goes around a banked curve of radius r with speed v. If the road is frictionless due to ice, the car can still n
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

horizontal component of normal force is equal to the centripetal force on the car

Explanation:

As the car is moving with uniform speed in circle then the force required to move in the circle is towards the center of the circle

This force is due to friction force when car is moving in circle with uniform speed

Now it is given that car is moving on the ice surface such that the friction force is zero now

so here we can say that centripetal force is due to component of the normal force which is due to banked road

Now we have

N sin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}

N cos\theta = mg

so we have

v = \sqrt{Rg tan\theta}

so this is horizontal component of normal force is equal to the centripetal force on the car

Assume that a pendulum used to drive a grandfather clock has a length L0=1.00m and a mass M at temperature T=20.00°C. It can be
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The period will change a 0,036 % relative to its initial state

Explanation:

When the rod expands by heat its moment of inertia increases, but since there was no applied rotational force to the pendulum , the angular momentum remains constant. In other words:

ζ= Δ(Iω)/Δt, where ζ is the applied torque, I is moment of inertia, ω is angular velocity and t is time.

since there was no torque ( no rotational force applied)

ζ=0 → Δ(Iω)=0 → I₂ω₂ -I₁ω₁ = 0 → I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

thus

I₂/I₁ =ω₁/ω₂ , (2) represents final state and (1) initial state

we know also that ω=2π/T , where T is the period of the pendulum

I₂/I₁ =ω₁/ω₂ = (2π/T₁)/(2π/T₂)= T₂/T₁

Therefore to calculate the change in the period we have to calculate the moments of inertia. Looking at tables, can be found that the moment of inertia of a rod that rotates around an end is

I = 1/3 ML²

Therefore since the mass M is the same before and after the expansion

I₁ = 1/3 ML₁² , I₂ = 1/3 ML₂²  → I₂/I₁ = (1/3 ML₂²)/(1/3 ML₁²)= L₂²/L₁²= (L₂/L₁)²

since

L₂= L₁ (1+αΔT) , L₂/L₁=1+αΔT  , where ΔT is the change in temperature

now putting all together

T₂/T₁=I₂/I₁=(L₂/L₁)² = (1+αΔT) ²

finally

%change in period =(T₂-T₁)/T₁ = T₂/T₁ - 1 = (1+αΔT) ² -1

%change in period =(1+αΔT) ² -1 =[ 1+18×10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹ *10 °C]² -1 = 3,6 ×10⁻⁴ = 3,6 ×10⁻² %  = 0,036 %

Differenciate between fundamentals quantities and derived quantities
REY [17]

Answer:

Fundamental quantities are the base quantities of a unit system, and they are defined independent of the other...

• Derived quantities are based on fundamental quantities, and they can be given in terms of fundamental quantities.

• In SI units, derived units are often given names of people such as Newton and Joule.
