A bullet with a mass of 4.5 g is moving with a speed of 300 m/s (with respect to the ground) when it collides with a rod with a

mass of 3 kg and a length of L = 0.25 m. The rod is initially at rest, in a vertical position, and pivots about an axis going through its center of mass which is located exactly halfway along the rod. The bullet imbeds itself in the rod at a distance L/4 from the pivot point. As a result, the bullet-rod system starts rotating together. What is the magnitude of the angular velocity (in rad/s) of the rotation (with respect to the ground) immediately after the collision? You may treat the bullet as a point particle.

Answer:

ω = 5.41 rad/s

Explanation:

Since the rod is rotating around its axis, angular momentum will play part in this question.

The conservation of angular momentum implies that

L_1 = L_2

So, the initial angular momentum is

L_1 = m_b v_b \frac{L}{4} = (4.5\times 10^{-3}~{\rm kg})(300~{\rm m/s})(\frac{0.25}{4}~{\rm m}) = 0.0844~{\rm kg.m^2/s}

The final angular momentum includes the rod and the bullet together. So,

L_2 = I\omega\\I = I_{rod} + I_{bullet} = \frac{1}{12}m_r L^2 + m_b(\frac{L}{4})^2 = \frac{1}{12}3(0.25)^2 + (4.5\times 10^{-3})(\frac{0.25}{4})^2 = 0.0156~{\rm kg.m^2}\\L_2  = L_1 = I\omega\\0.0844 = 0.0156\omega\\\omega = 5.41~{\rm rad/s}

umka21 [38]

The answer is to the ground.


Gravity refers to the force that holds together the universe. On Earth, the gravity attempts to change the velocity of all the objects on the Earth's surface toward the ground at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared according to Galileo.

Grilled cheese or Cheese toasty??
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

<em>Toasties are British in origin and were usually made in ovens. They were the same as a grilled cheese but the bread was not buttered. Some Brits would make them in a pan in the oven, too, which is even closer to the stove-top grilled cheese.</em>
