A(n) 9.9 g bullet is fired into a(n) 138 g block of wood at rest on a horizontal surface and stays inside. After impact, the blo

ck slides 13 m before coming to rest. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 .
If the coefficient of friction between the surface and the block is 0.6, find the speed of the bullet before impact. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

185.25 m/s

Explanation:

consider the motion of the combination of bullet and block after the collision

v₀ = initial speed just after the collision

v' = final speed = 0 m/s

μ = Coefficient of friction = 0.6

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

a = acceleration of the combination = - μ g = - (0.6) (9.8) = - 5.88 m/s²

d = stopping distance = 13 m

using the kinematics equation

v'² = v₀² + 2 a d

0² = v₀² + 2 (- 5.88) (13)

v₀ = 12.4 m/s

m = mass of the bullet = 9.9 g = 0.0099 kg

M = mass of the wood = 138 g = 0.138 kg

v = speed of bullet before collision

v₀ = speed of combination after the collision = 12.4 m/s

Using conservation of momentum

m v = (m + M) v₀

(0.0099) v = (0.0099 + 0.138) (12.4)

v = 185.25 m/s

Helium–neon laser light (λ = 632.8 nm) is sent through a 0.350-mm-wide single slit. What is the width of the central maximum on
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The width of the central bright fringe is 7.24 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 632.8 nm

Width d= 0.350 mm

Distance between screen and slit D= 2.00 m

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

y_{m}=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

Put the value into the formula

y_{m}=\dfrac{632.8\times10^{-9}\times2.00}{0.350\times10^{-3}}

y_{m}=3.62\ mm

We need to calculate the width of the central bright fringe

Using formula of width

width = 2\times|y_{m}|

Put the value into the formula

width=2\times3.62

width = 7.24\ mm

Hence, The width of the central bright fringe is 7.24 mm.

A particle moves along the x axis according to the equation x = 6t², where x is in meters and t is in seconds. Therefore:
vladimir2022 [97]
Answer is E

time can be negative.
A is not true because <span>a=<span><span><span>d2</span>x</span><span>d<span>t2</span></span></span>=12 m/<span>s2</span></span>
C: question already said that particle move along x-axis, which is not parabola path.
D: velocity is <span><span><span>dx</span><span>dt</span></span>=12t</span>, therefore velocity changes by 12 m/s and not 9.8 m/s
So we are left with E. <span>
