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.

An alternating current is supplied to an electronic component with a warning that the voltage across it should never exceed 13 V
MrMuchimi

Answer:

9.2 V

Explanation:

The RMS value of an AC is the effective value of a varying voltage or current in DC, that is the equivalent value of the AC which produces the same effect as an DC. For example if a motor is supplied by a 9V RMS voltage, it will rotate as if the voltage applied was 9V DC.

The RMS value is given by:

RMS voltage = Peak voltage * 1/√2

Given that the maximum voltage should not exceed 13 V, this means that the peak voltage is 13 V. The maximum RMS voltage is:

RMS voltage = Peak voltage * 1/√2 = 13 * 1/√2 = 9.2 V

In a collision between two unequal masses, which mass receives a greater magnitude impulse?
Contact [7]
<span>The answer to this question depends upon Newton's third law of motion. For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Because of this law, during the collision between two unequal masses, the impulse that each mass receives will be of equal magnitude and and opposite sign.</span>

Suppose the initial kinetic energy and final potential energy in an experiment are both zero. What can you conclude? A. The fina
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

C. The final kinetic energy is equal to the initial potential energy.

Explanation:

Based on the Principle of energy conservation:

Sum of the Initial Energy = Sum of the Final Energy

Initial Kinetic Energy + Initial Potential Energy = Final Kinetic Energy + Final Potential Energy..........(1)

Since according to the question:

Initial Kinetic Energy = 0

Final Potential Energy = 0

The equation (1) above reduces to

Initial Potential Energy = Final Kinetic Energy
