A small wooden block with mass m1 is suspended from the lower end of a light cord that is l long. The block is initially at rest

. A bullet with mass m2 is fired at the block with a horizontal velocity v0. The bullet strikes the block and becomes embedded in it. After the collision the combined object swings on the end of the cord. When the block has risen a vertical height of h, the tension in the cord is T0. What was the initial speed v0 of the bullet

Answer:

Explanation:

The tension of the cord is not important, what matters is the height the block has risen.

When it has risen to its maximum it will have a speed of 0, and because of that it will have a kinetic energy of 0. However it will have a higher potential energy than it had at the beginning. The difference in potential energy will be:

\Delta Ep = (m1 + m2) * g * h

The energy to rise the block with the bullet embedded into it came from the kinetic energy of the bullet.

Ec = \frac{1}{2} * m2 * v0^2

These two energies are equal because all the kinetic energy the bullet had was transformed into potential energy. Therefore:

(m1 + m2) * g * h = \frac{1}{2} * m2 * v0^2

Rearranging:

V0 = \sqrt{\frac{2*(m1 + m2) * g *}{m2}}

two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel .calculate the equivalent series resist
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel.

For series combination,

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2

For parallel combination,

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in series,

R_s=6+3\\\\R_s=9\ \Omega

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in paralle,

\dfrac{1}{R_p}=\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\R_p=2\ \Omega

So, the equivalent resistance in series combination is 9 ohms and in parallel combination it is 2 ohms.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

use the bowl of water because Earth's magnetic field is relatively weak. Allowing it to float freely on the water, allows the magnetized needle to freely react to Earth's magnetic field, causing it to align North to South. If you watched closely, the same end of the needle should always point to the North

A 0.050 kg bullet strikes a 5.0 kg wooden block with a velocity of 909 m/s and embeds itself in the block which fies off its sta
serg [7]

Answer:

The final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a bullet is, m = 0.05 kg

Mass of wooden block is, M = 5 kg

Initial speed of bullet, v = 909 m/s

The bullet embeds itself in the block which flies off its stand. Let V is the final velocity of the bullet. The this case, momentum of the system remains conserved. So,

mv=(m+M)V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{m+M}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.05\times 909}{0.050+5}\\\\V=9\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.
