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}}

g The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance x is given by U(x)=−C6/x6, where C6 is a positi
Arisa [49]

Answer:

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

Attractive

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms given by \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Based on the given information, the force that one atom exerts on the other is

Potential energy μ = \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Force exerted by one atom upon another

F_x = \frac{\partial U}{\partial X} = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (-\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

As we can see that the C_6 comes in positive and constant which represents that the force is negative that means the force is attractive in nature

A steel ball and a piece of clay have equal mass. They are dropped from the same height on a horizontal steel platform. The ball
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The ball (option A)

Explanation: change in momentum is defined by the formulae m(v - u) where m = mass of object, v = final velocity and u = initial velocity.

For the ball, it hits the ground and bounces back with the same speed, that's final velocity equals initials (v = - u)

Change in momentum = m( -u- u) = m(-2u) = m(-2u) = -2mu

For the clay, it final velocity is zero since it sticks to the floor, hence (v =0)

m(v - u) = m(0 - u) = - mu.

-2mu (change in momentum from the ball) is greater than - mu ( change in momentum of clay)
