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 skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky
Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh                        

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to                    

gravity   and  h = height of the object above the reference line .


as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.


when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens

The volumes of the block is 10,500 mL and density is 8.52 g/mL. Find the block's mass Don't forget units and a space
Schach [20]

Answer:

<h2>89,460 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

mass = Density × volume

From the question we have

mass = 8.52 × 10,500

We have the final answer as

<h3>89,460 g</h3>

Hope this helps you
