Which two terms is velocity the combination of?

A 5.30 g bullet moving at 963 m/s strikes a 610 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

a) $V_{wf}$ = 4.67m/s

b) V = 8.29 m/s

Explanation:

Givens:

The bullet is 5.30g moving at 963m/s and its speed reduced to 426m/s. The wooden block is 610g.

a) From conservation of linear momentum

Pi = Pf

$m_{b}V{b_{i} } + V_{wi} = m_{w} V_{wf} + m_{b}V_{bf}$

where $m_{b},V{b_{i}$ are the mass and the initial velocity of the bullet, $m_{w}$ and $V_{wi}$ are the mass and the initial velocity of the wooden block, and $V_{wf}$ and $V_{bf}$ are the final velocities of the wooden block and the bullet

The wooden block is initial at rest $(V_{wi} = 0)$ this yields

$m_{b}V{b_{i} } = m_{w} V_{wf} + m_{b}V_{bf}$

By solving for $V_{wf}$ adn substitute the givens

$V_{wf}$ = $\frac{m_{b}V_{bi} - m_{b} V_{bf} }{m_{W} }$

= $\frac{5.3(g)(963(m/s)-426(m/s) }{610(g)}$

$V_{wf}$ = 4.67m/s

b) The center of mass speed is defined as

$V = \frac{m_{b} }{m_{b}+m_{w} } V_{bi}$

substituting:

$V = \frac{5.3(g)}{5.3(g)+610(g)} X 963(m/s)$

V = 8.29 m/s

What is its maximum altitude above the ground? The answer is the maximum height above the ground

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Maximum altitude above the ground = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 5.5 km/s = 5500 m/s

v = final velocity of the projectile at maximum height reached = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = (GM/R²) (from the gravitational law)

g = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.97 × 10²⁴)/(6370000²)

g = -9.82 m/s² (minus because of the direction in which it is directed)

y = vertical distance covered by the projectile = ?

v² = u² + 2gy

0² = 5500² + 2(-9.82)(y)

19.64y = 5500²

y = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Hope this Helps!!!

the train accelerates from 30 km/h to 45 km/h in 15 secs. a. find its acceleration. b. distance it travels during this time ...

Sonbull [250]

Acceleration = v-u/t
= (45-30)/15
= 1 km/h

Distance = ut + 1/2 at^2
s = [30 x 15] + 1/2 x 1 x 15^2
= 562.5 km

Hope this helps

A 150kg motorcycle starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate along a distance of 350m. The applied force is 250N and t

notsponge [240]

A) The net force on the motorbike is 205.9 N

B) The acceleration of the motorbike is $1.37 m/s^2$

C) The final speed is 5.2 m/s

D) The elapsed time is 3.80 s

Explanation:

A)

There are two forces acting on the motorbike:

- The applied force, F = 250 N, forward

- The frictional force, $F_f$ , backward

The frictional force can be written as

$F_f = \mu mg$

where

$\mu=0.03$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

$m=150 kg$ is the mass of the motorbike

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Therefore the net force is given by

$\sum F = F - F_f = F - \mu mg$

And substituting, we find

$\sum F=250 - (0.03)(150)(9.8)=205.9 N$

2)

The acceleration of the motorbike can be found by using Newton's second law, which states that the net force is equal to the product between mass and acceleration:

$\sum F = ma$
