A 6.99-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +341 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (s

ee part a of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part b. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the bullet. The mass of the first block is 1202 g, and its velocity is +0.554 m/s after the bullet passes through it. The mass of the second block is 1523 g. (a) What is the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself? (b) Find the ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision.

Answer:

a). 1.218 m/s

b). R=2.8^{-3}

Explanation:

m_{bullet}=6.99g*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=6.99x10^{-3}kg

v_{bullet}=341\frac{m}{s}

Momentum of the motion the first part of the motion have a momentum that is:

P_{1}=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}

P_{1}=6.99x10^{-3}kg*341\frac{m}{s} \\P_{1}=2.3529

The final momentum is the motion before the action so:

a).

P_{2}=m_{b1}*v_{fbullet}+(m_{b2}+m_{bullet})*v_{f}}

P_{2}=1.202 kg*0.554\frac{m}{s}+(1.523kg+6.99x10^{-3}kg)*v_{f}

P_{1}=P_{2}

2.529=0.665+(1.5299)*v_{f}\\v_{f}=\frac{1.864}{1.5299}\\v_{f}=1.218 \frac{m}{s}

b).

kinetic energy

K=\frac{1}{2}*m*(v)^{2}

Kinetic energy after

Ka=\frac{1}{2}*1.202*(0.554)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}*1.523*(1.218)^{2}\\Ka=1.142 J

Kinetic energy before

Kb=\frac{1}{2}*mb*(vf)^{2}\\Kb=\frac{1}{2}*6.99x10^{-3}kg*(341)^{2}\\Kb=406.4J

Ratio =\frac{Ka}{Kb}

R=\frac{1.14}{406.4}\\R=2.8x10^{-3}

A 500 N force accelerates an object at 20 m s-2. What is its mass?
avanturin [10]

<u>Answer</u>: The mass of the object is 25kg.

The given question deals with Newton's second law of motion and its applications.

<u>Explanation:</u> Given force, F=500N

                                 acceleration, a=20 m/s^{2}

  From Newton's 2nd law of motion , we have

                             F=ma where m=mass of the object

                         ⇒500=m×20

                         ⇒m=500/20=25

                 ∴ Mass of the object is 25 kg .

The summer camps had a field trip from the campus to Fragrance Hill. They traveled at an average speed of 65 km/h in the first 2
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

They traveled this distance in 2 parts, essentially. Part 1 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, part 2 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, and those 2 parts taken together took them a distance of 364 km. In equation form, that looks like this:

km/hr part 1 + km/hr part 2 = 364 km

Now we need to find each part on the left side of that equation. Part 1 first:

We traveled 65 km/hr for 2 hours, so that took us

65\frac{km}{hr}*2hr and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 1 we got

65(2) = 130 km. Good. Now onto the second part, where our unknown is.

We traveled 78 km/hr the second part for x hours, so that took us

78\frac{km}{hr}*xhr and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 2 we got

78x km. Now we can fill in the main equation (the one in bold print)

130 km + 78x km = 364 km and subtracting 130 km from both sides:

78x km = 234 km and dividing by 78 km:

x = 3 hours. Part 2 took 3 hours. Part 1 took 2 hours, so the whole trip took 5 hours.

Each plate of a parallel‑plate capacitor is a square of side 4.19 cm, 4.19 cm, and the plates are separated by 0.407 mm. 0.407 m
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C.

Explanation:

Given:

Side length of the capacitor plate (a) = 4.19 cm = 0.0419 m

Separation between the plates (d) = 0.407 mm = 0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m

Energy stored in the capacitor (U) = 7.87\ nJ=7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J

Assuming the medium to be air.

So, permittivity of space (ε) = 8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

Area of the square plates is given as:

A=a^2=(0.0419\ m)^2=1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2

Capacitance of the capacitor is given as:

C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}\\\\C=\frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m\times 1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2 }{0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m}\\\\C=3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F

Now, we know that, the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

U=\frac{CE^2d^2}{2}

Rewriting in terms of 'E', we get:

E=\sqrt{\frac{2U}{Cd^2}}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'E'. This gives,

E=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J}{3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F\times (0.407\times 10^{-3})^2\ m^2}}\\\\E=49880.77\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C
