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.

True or false? All waves need a medium in order to travel
Art [367]
That's false.  Mechanical waves (like sound and ocean waves) do
need a medium to travel in, but electromagnetic waves (like radio
and light) don't.

An object starts from rest, and accelerates at 2m/s2 for 10s. How far has it gone in that time
blagie [28]

Answer:

100m

Explanation:

s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

u=0;t=10sec;a=2m/s²

s = 0(10) +  \frac{1}{2}(2 \times  {10}^{2} )

s=10²;100m

If a car increases its velocity from zero to 60 m/s in 10 seconds, its acceleration is
andrezito [222]
We know that a=vf_vi/t equals equation "a" . Where a is the acceleration of the body , vf is the final velocity , vi is the initial velocity and t is equal to time . Since vi equals o m/s , vf equals to 60 m/s and t equals 10 s. Put in equation "a". a=60-0/10 =6m/s2

How much momentum will a dumb-bell of mass 10 kg transfer
frosja888 [35]

We want to find how much momentum the dumbbell has at the moment it strikes the floor. Let's use this kinematics equation:

Vf² = Vi² + 2ad

Vf is the final velocity of the dumbbell, Vi is its initial velocity, a is its acceleration, and d is the height of its fall.

Given values:

Vi = 0m/s (dumbbell starts falling from rest)

a = 10m/s² (we'll treat downward motion as positive, this doesn't affect the result as long as we keep this in mind)

d = 80×10⁻²m

Plug in the values and solve for Vf:

Vf² = 2(10)(80×10⁻²)

Vf = ±4m/s

Reject the negative root.

Vf = 4m/s

The momentum of the dumbbell is given by:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

m = 10kg

v = 4m/s (from previous calculation)

Plug in the values and solve for p:

p = 10(4)

p = 40kg×m/s
