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}

What is the electric potential, i.e. the voltage, 0.30 m from a point charge of 6.4 x 10-C?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

V = 192 kV

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, q=6.4\times 10^{-6}\ C

Distance, r = 0.3 m

We need to find the electric potential at a distance of 0.3 m from a point charge. The formula for electric potential is given by :

V=\dfrac{kq}{r}\\\\V=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 6.4\times 10^{-6}}{0.3}\\\\V=192000\ V\\\\V=192\ kV

So, the required electric potential is 192 kV.

A 6 kg box with initial speed 5 m/s slides across the floor and comes to a stop after 1.9 s. What is the coefficient of kinetic
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

\mu_k=0.27

Explanation:

According to the free body diagram, in this case, we have:

\sum F_x:-F_k=ma\\\sum F_y:N=mg

Recall that the force of friction is given by:

F_k=\mu_k N

Replacing and solving for the coefficient of kinetic friction:

-\mu_kN=ma\\-\mu_k(mg)=ma\\\mu_k=-\frac{a}{g}

We have an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, the acceleration is defined as:

a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t}\\a=\frac{0-5\frac{m}{s}}{1.9s}\\a=-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}

Finally, we calculate \mu_k:

\mu_k=-\frac{-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\mu_k=0.27

What phenomenon causes the fuzzy image? What kind of lens is used to correct this, and how is it corrected?
mamaluj [8]
In optics, chromatic aberration (abbreviated CA; also called chromatic distortion and spherochromatism) is an effect resulting from dispersion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point.[1] It occurs because lenses have different refractive indices for different wavelengths of light. The refractive index of transparent materials decreases with increasing wavelength in degrees unique to each.

Is space expanding within clusters of galaxies? why or why not?
GarryVolchara [31]

No, since their gravity is powerful enough to keep them together even while the universe expands as a whole. Space is not expanding within clusters of galaxies.

<h3>What is a galaxy?</h3>

A galaxy is a massive clump of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems bound together by gravity.

No, since their gravity is powerful enough to keep them together even while the universe expands as an entire.

Hence,space is not expanding within clusters of galaxies.
