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.

interval (from lowering the body to his feet taking off) lasts for 0.3 s and the mass of the player is 90 kg. Ignore air resista
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The force applied to the surface is 9 kilo Newton.

Explanation:

While jumping on the surface the player applies the force that is equal to its weight on the surface.

The mass of the player is given as 90 kg.

Force applied by the player = weight of the player

Force applied by the player = m × g

Where m is the mass of the player and g is acceleration due to gravity

Force applied by the player = 90 × 9.8

Force applied by the player = 882 Newton

Expressing your answer to one significant figure, we get

Force applied by the player =0. 9 kilo Newton

The force applied to the surface is 0.9 kilo Newton.

Temperature Dependence of the pH of pure Water
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

At 100°C, the pH of pure water is 6.14. That is the neutral point on the pH scale at this higher temperature. A solution with a pH of 7 at this temperature is slightly alkaline because its pH is a bit higher than the neutral value of 6.14.

A light ray transfers from more to less dense medium at certain condition , if we repeat this experiment by increasing the angle
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Still constant

Explanation:

The relative refractive index ₁n₂ between the two medium can be as follows;

_1n_2 = \dfrac{The \ speed \ of \ light \ in \ medium \ 1}{The \ speed \ of \ light \ in \ medium \ 2}  = \dfrac{c_1}{c_2}

Therefore, given that the speed of light in medium 1 is constant and the speed of light on medium 2 is also constant, the relative refractive index ₁n₂ = c₁/c₂ is always constant.

1. What are 3 main categories of waste and what is the largest contribution of municipal solid waste?​
Tasya [4]
Organic materials continue to be the largest component of MSW. Paper and paperboard account for 27 percent and yard trimmings and food account for another 28 percent. Plastics comprise about 13 percent; metals make up 9 percent; and rubber, leather, and textiles account for 9 percent.
