A 0.0220 kg bullet moving horizontally at 400 m/s embeds itself into an initially stationary 0.500 kg block. (a) What is their v

elocity just after the collision?
(b) The bullet-embedded block slides 8.0 m on a horizontal surface with a 0.30 kinetic coefficient of friction. Now what is its velocity?
(c) The bullet-embedded block now strikes and sticks to a stationary 2.00 kg block. How far does this combination travel before stopping?

Answer:

a) 16.86 m/s.

b) 15.40 m/s

c) 3.175 m/s  

Explanation:

let pi be the initial momentum of the system, pf be the final momentum of the system, m1 be the mass of the bullet and V1 be the intial velocity of the bullet, m2 be the mass of the block and V2 be the intial velocity of the block

a)  from the conservation of linear momentum:

                                          pi = pf

              m1×(V1)i + m2×(V2)i = Vf×(m1 + m2)

(0.0220)×(400) + (0.500)×(0) = Vf(0.0220 + 0.500)

                                         8.8 = 0.522×Vf

                                          Vf = 16.86 m/s

Therefore, the bullet-embedded block system will be moving with a speed of 16.86 m/s.

b)  let Vf be the final velocity of the bullet-embedded block system, Wf be the work done by friction on the system, Vi be the initial velocity that the bullet-embedded block system initially moves with.

the total work done on the system is given by:

                                Wtot = Δk = kf - ki

                                    Wf = 1/2×m×(Vi)^2 - 1/2×m×(Vf)^2

                    f×ΔxΔcos(Ф) = 1/2×m×(Vi)^2 - 1/2×m×(Vf)^2

                 m×Δx×g×μ×(-1) =  1/2×m×(Vi)^2 - 1/2×m×(Vf)^2

                        m×g×Δx×μ =  1/2(Vi)^2 - 1/2(Vf)^2

1/2(0.0220 + 0.500)(Vf)^2 = 1/2(0.0220 + 0.500)(16.86)^2 - (0.0220 +           0.500)×(9.8)×(8)×(0.30)

                     (0.261)(Vf)^2 = 86.469

                                (Vf)^2 = 237.2196

                                       Vf = 15.40 m/s

Therefore,   bullet-embedded block system will have a speed of 15.40 m/s after sliding of the friction surface.

c) let Vf be the speed of the bullet-embedded before hitting the block, Vi be the initial velocity of the block and V be the velocity of the bullet-embedded block and block system.

                              M×Vf + m×Vi = (m + M)×V  

 (0.0200 + 0.50)×(15.40) + (2)×(0) = (0.022 + 0.50 + 2)×V

                                             8.008 = 2.522×V

                                                    V = 3.175 m/s  

  Therefore, the bullet-embedded block and block system will be moving at a speed of 3.175 m/s.

Kinetic energy is the energy of
Alina [70]

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

The formula for kinetic energy is given as

KE = (0.5) m v²

where m = mass of object , v = speed of object.

an object having some speed and mass will have kinetic energy while an object at rest will not have any kinetic energy since the speed of object at rest is zero.

Since at rest speed is zero. an object has kinetic energy only when it is in motion.
