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}}

First, you make a diagram of all the forces acting on the system. This is shown in the figure. We have to determine F1 and F4. Let's do a momentum balance. Momentum is conserved so the summation of all momentum is equal to zero. Momentum is force*distance.

To determine F1: (reference is F4, so F4=0)

∑Momentum = 0 = -F2 - F3 + F1
0 = (-4 kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.25m)-(6kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.5-0.3m)+F1(0.5-0.1m)
F1 = 53.96 N (left knife-edge)

To determine F4: (reference is F1, so F1=0)

∑Momentum = 0 = -F2 - F3 + F4
0 = (-4 kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.25m)-(6kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.5-0.2m)+F4(0.5-0.1m)
F4 = 68.67 N (right knife-edge)

. A student thinks that the more protons an atom has, the more reactive it will be. Which will best disprove this student's idea
shepuryov [24]
The best answer to the question that is being stated above would be the first choice. To disprove the claims of the student that you need more protons to have more reactivity, then you proceed to compare the reactivities of lithium (Li) and krypton (Kr). Krypton has more protons than Lithium, but it is less reactive because it is a noble gas.

Yolanda is studying two waves. The first wave has an amplitude of 2 m, and the second has an amplitude of 3 m. Which statement a
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

a) Not Accurate

b) Not Accurate

c) Accurate

d) Accurate

Explanation:

Part a

Not Accurate, because destructive interference would lead to maximum possible magnitude of < 3 m

Part b

Not Accurate, because constructive interference would lead to minimum possible magnitude of > 2 m

Part c

Accurate, because destructive interference would lead to maximum possible magnitude of < 3 m by varying the phase difference between two waves she can achieve the desired results.

Part d  

Accurate, because constructive interference would lead to minimum possible magnitude of > 2 m by varying the phase difference between two waves she can achieve the desired results.
