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 small sphere attached to a light rigid rod rotates about an axis perpendicular to and fixed to the other end of the rod. relat
Crank
<span>d.rotating counterclockwise and slowing down This is a matter of understanding the notation and conventions of angular rotations. Positive rotations are counter clockwise and negative rotations are clockwise. An easy way to remember this is the "right hand rule". Make a closed fist with your right hand and have the thumb sticking outwards. If you orient your thumb such that it's pointing in the direction of the positive value along the axis, your fingers will be curled in the positive rotational direction. So in the described scenario, the sphere is rotating in the positive direction (counter clockwise) and decelerating due to the negative angular acceleration. That immediately indicates that options "a", "b", and "e" are wrong since they mention the sphere going clockwise at the beginning. Of the two remaining options "c" and "d", we can discard option "c" since it has the rotation speeding up, and that leaves us with option "d" where the sphere is rotating counter clockwise and slowing down.</span>

A toroid having a square cross section, 5.49 cm on a side, and an inner radius of 18.1 cm has 450 turns and carries a current of
joja [24]

Answer:

(a) 4.27 x 10^-4 Telsa

(b) 3.28 x 10^-4 Telsa

Explanation:

side of square, a = 5.49 cm

inner radius, r = 18.1 cm = 0.181 m

number of turns,N = 450

current, i = 0.859 A

(a)

The magnetic field due to a solenoid due to inner radius is

B = \frac{\mu_{0}Ni}{2\pi r_{inner}}

B = \frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 450\times 0.859}{2\pi \times 0.181}

B = 4.27 x 10^-4 Telsa

(b)

The outer radius is R = 18.1 + 5.49 = 23.59 cm = 0.236 m

The magnetic field due to the outer radius is

B = \frac{\mu_{0}Ni}{2\pi r_{outer}}

B = \frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 450\times 0.859}{2\pi \times 0.236}

B = 3.28 x 10^-4 Tesla

Why is it important to be able to trace the pole connection on a meter back to the same type of pole at the electrical source?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

A grounded wire is sometimes strung along the tops of the towers to provide lightning protection.

In areas where the neutral is grounded or earthed, it is essential to endure that the neutral and the live or hot wires are not confused for each other.

When this happens, the fuses on the transformer will not operate unless the fault is very close to the transformer. The fuses in the consumer's intake box, will not operate.
