A 1.72-kg block of soft wood is suspended by two strings from the ceiling. The wood is free to rotate in pendulum-like fashion w

hen a force is exerted upon it. A 8.50-g bullet is fired into the wood. The bullet enters the wood at 431 m/s and exits the opposite side shortly thereafter. If the wood rises to a height of 13.8 cm, then what is the exit speed of the bullet?

Answer:

Vf_{2} = 98.21 m/s                    

Explanation:

The block has a final potential energy

U = mgh

U = (1.72)(9.8)(0.138)

    = 2.3261 J

How after of the collision the block's mechanical energy is conserved, then we can calculate the block's initial velocity

     2.3261 = \frac{mv^{2} }{2}

     2.3261 = \frac{1.72v^{2} }{2}

            v = 1.6446 m/s

In the collision is conserved the lineal momentum of the system then:

m_{1}Vo_{1} + m_{2}Vo_{2} = m_{1}Vf_{1} + m_{2}Vf_{2}

(1.72)(0) + (0.0085)(431) = (1.72)(1.6446) + (0.085)Vf_{2}

3.6635 = 2.8287 + 0.0085Vf_{2}

Vf_{2} = 98.21 m/s

A 0.041-kg bullet has a kinetic energy of 600j. What is the velocity of the bullet?
Paladinen [302]

171.0798 M/S

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

the distance between two points P and Q is 120 m a object goes from point P to q and then returned to P in 1 minute 40 second wh
Naily [24]

Answer:

using a formula

average velocity=total displacement/total time

average velocity=120/1minute40sec

1minute=60sec

60sec+40sec=120sec

average velocity=120m/120sec

average velocity=1m/sec
