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.

Freight car A with a gross weight of 200,000 lbs is moving along the horizontal track in a switching yard at 4 mi/hr. Freight ca
zhenek [66]

Answer: a) 4.7 mi/hr.  b) 86,500 lbs. mi²/Hr²

Explanation:

As in any collision, under the assumption that no external forces exist during the very small collision time, momentum must be conserved.

If the collision is fully inelastic, both masses continue coupled each other as a single mass, with a single speed.

So, we can write the following:

p₁ = p₂ ⇒m₁.v₁ + m₂.v₂ = (m₁ + m₂). vf

Replacing by the values, and solving for vf, we get:

vf = (200,000 lbs. 4 mi/hr + 100,000 lbs. 6 mi/hr) / 300,000 lbs = 4.7 mi/hr

If the track is horizontal, this means that thre is no change in gravitational potential energy, so any loss of energy must be kinetic energy.

Before the collision, the total kinetic energy of the system was the following:

K₁ = 1/2 (m₁.v₁² + m₂.v₂²) = 3,400,000 lbs. mi² / hr²

After the collision, total kinetic energy is as follows:

K₂ = 1/2 ((m₁ + m₂) vf²) = 3,313,500 lbs. mi²/hr²

So we have an Energy loss, equal to the difference between initial kinetic energy and final kinetic energy, as follows:

DE = K₁ - K₂ = 86,500 lbs. mi² / hr²

This loss is due to the impact, and is represented by the work done by friction forces (internal) during the impact.

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.
