A bullet of mass m=26g is fired into a wooden block of mass M=4.7kg. The block is attached to a string of length 1.5m. The bulle

t is embedded in the block, causing the block to then swing. If the block reaches a maximum height of h=0.31m, what was the initial speed of the bullet?

Answer:

u = 449 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the bullet, m = 26 g

Mass of the wooden block,M = 4.7 Kg

height of the block,h = 0.31 m

initial speed of the block, u = ?

Using conservation of energy

(M+ m)gh = \dfrac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2

gh = \dfrac{1}{2}v^2

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 0.31}

v = 2.47 m/s

Now, using conservation of momentum to calculate the speed of the bullet.

m u + M u' = (M+m)v

m u  = (M+m)v

0.026 x u  = (4.7+0.026) x 2.47

u = 449 m/s

Hence, the speed of the bullet is equal to 449 m/s.

Travka [436]

Complete question:

A small circular coil of 5 turns of wire lies in a uniform magnetic field of 0.8 T, so that the normal to the plane of the coil makes an angle of 100◦ with the direction of B~ . The radius of the coil is 4 cm, and it carries a current of 1 A.

What is magnitude of the magnetic moment of the coil? Answer in units of A · m2.

Answer:

The magnetic moment of the coil is 0.0252 A.m²

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the coil, r = 4 cm = 0.04 m

number of turns of the coil, N = 5 turns

magnetic field strength B = 0.8 T

current in the coil, I = 1 A

Area of the coil, A = πr² = π(0.04)² = 0.00503 m²

magnetic moment of the coil, μ = NIA

where;

N is the number of turns

I is the current in the coil

A is the area of the coil

magnetic moment of the coil, μ = 5 x 1 x 0.00503 = 0.0252 A.m²

Therefore, the magnetic moment of the coil is 0.0252 A.m²

A 800 kg safe is 2.1 m above a heavy-duty spring when the rope holding the safe breaks. The safe hits the spring and compresses
stellarik [79]

Answer:

k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m

Explanation:

First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:

F = Weight of Safe

F = mg

where,

F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?

m = mass of safe = 800 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 7840 N

Now, using Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

K = Spring Constant = ?

Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m

Therefore,

7840 N = k (0.46 m)

k = 7840 N/0.46 m

<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>

Classify the following situations into contact and non-contact forces.
NARA [144]

Answer: Contact force

a. Applying break in a vehicle.

d. The speed of ball rolling on ground is reduced

Non contact force

b. A coconut falling from a coconut tree.

c. The planets revolving around the sun.

Explanation:

The contact force is the force which exerts when one object or entity comes in contact with other object or entity. For example, on application of break the vehicle stops, the force is applied on the breaks to stop the vehicle. The ball rolling on the ground the speed reduces so the application of force on the ground also reduces.

The non contact force is the force one object exerts on the other without coming in direct contact with the other object. The force exerted by one object on other due to gravity is a non contact force. The coconut falling on the ground and planets revolving around the sun are examples of non contact force due to gravity.
