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.

Is mass is 88.2 and height of distance is 25m, how do you find speed?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The velocity will be v = 22.1[m/s]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of energy conservation, where potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. For this problem we will take the point with maximum potential energy when the body is 25 [m] high. By the time the height is zero, the potential energy will have been transformed into kinetic energy, and we can find the velocity of the body.

Ep = m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 88.2[kg]\\h = elevation = 25[m]\\g = gravity = 9.81 [m/s^2]\\Ep = 88.2*25*9.81 = 21631.05[J]\\

Now we know that the energy will be transformed.

Ek=Ep\\Ek=0.5*m*v^{2} \\where:\\v=velocity [m/s]\\v=\sqrt{\frac{Ek}{0.5*m} } \\v=\sqrt{\frac{21631.05}{0.5*88.2} } \\v=22.14[m/s]
