An experiment is done to compare the initial speed of projectiles fired from high-performance catapults. The catapults are place

d very close to a pendulum bob of mass 10.0 kg attached to a massless rod of length L. Assume that catapult 1 fires a projectile of mass 5.50 g at speed v1 and catapult 2 fires a projectile of mass 10.0 g at speed v2. If the projectile from catapult 1 causes the pendulum to swing to a maximum angular displacement of 6.80 ∘ and the projectile from catapult 2 causes a displacement of 11.4 ∘, find the ratio of the initial speeds, v1v2 .

Answer:1.084

Explanation:

Given

mass of Pendulum M=10 kg

mass of bullet m=5.5 gm

velocity of bullet u

After collision let say velocity is v

conserving momentum we get

mu=(M+m)v

v=\frac{m}{M+m}\times u

Conserving Energy for Pendulum

Kinetic Energy=Potential Energy

\frac{(M+m)v^2}{2}=(M+m)gh

here h=L(1-\cos \theta ) from diagram

therefore

v=\sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}

initial velocity in terms of v

u=\frac{M+m}{m}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}

For first case \theta =6.8^{\circ}

u_1=\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}

for second case \theta =11.4^{\circ}

u_2=\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}

Therefore \frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}}{\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}}

\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{1819.181\times 0.0838}{1001\times 0.1404}

\frac{u_1}{u_2}=1.084

i.e.\frac{v_1}{v_2}=1.084

How is Newton’s 3rd law in baseball?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:Explanation: According to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the bat hitting the ball will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction of the force the ball exerts on the bat. Generally, your arms are stiff when you hit the ball forward, so you will not feel the bat "recoiling".

The weight of a metal bracelet is measured to be 0.10400 N in air and 0.08400 N when immersed in water. Find its density.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The density of the metal is 5200 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight in air= 0.10400 N

Weight in water = 0.08400 N

We need to calculate the density of metal

Let \rho_{m} be the density of metal and \rho_{w} be the density of water is 1000kg/m³.

V is volume of solid.

The weight of metal in air is

W =0.10400\ N

mg=0.10400

\rho V g=0.10400

Vg=\dfrac{0.10400}{\rho_{m}}.....(I)

The weight of metal in water is

Using buoyancy force

F_{b}=0.10400-0.08400

F_{b}=0.02\ N

We know that,

F_{b}=\rho_{w} V g....(I)

Put the value of F_{b} in equation (I)

\rho_{w} Vg=0.02

Put the value of Vg in equation (II)

\rho_{w}\times\dfrac{0.10400}{\rho_{m}}=0.02

1000\times\dfrac{0.10400}{0.02}=\rho_{m}

\rho_{m}=5200\ kg/m^3

Hence, The density of the metal is 5200 kg/m³.
