A 0.0121-kg bullet is fired straight up at a falling wooden block that has a mass of 4.99 kg. The bullet has a speed of 898 m/s

when it strikes the block. The block originally was dropped from rest from the top of a building and had been falling for a time t when the collision with the bullet occurs. As a result of the collision, the block (with the bullet in it) reverses direction, rises, and comes to a momentary halt at the top of the building. Find the time t.

Answer:

t = 0.11 s

Explanation:

The motion is complete inelastic so the motion can be model using

mb * vb + mB * vB = ( mb + mB ) vf

mb = 0.0121 kg , mB = 4.99 kg , vb = 898 m / s , vB = 0

Replacing to find vf

0.0121 * 898 m / s + 4.99 kg * 0 = ( 0.0121 + 4.99) * vf

vf = 2.18 m / s

Now to find the time take the acceleration as a= g = 9.8 m /s²

t = mb * vb / a * (mb + 2 * mB)

t = [0.0121 kg * 898 m /s] / 9.8 * ( 0.0121 kg + 2*4.99)

t = 0.11 s

Can the resistors in an "unbalanced" Wheatstone bridge circuit be treated as a combination of series and/or parallel resistors?

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

The resistors in a unbalanced wheat stone bridge cannot be treated as a combination of series and parallel combination of resistors.

In case of balanced wheat stone bridge, the resistors can be treated as the combination of series and parallel combination.

Here, In the balanced wheat stone bridge

R1 and R2 be in series and Ra and Rx is series and then their combination is in parallel combination.

A trick shot archer shoots an arrow with a velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 20.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. An a

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

$u'=10.259\ m.s^{-1}$ is the initial velocity of tossing the apple.

the apple should be tossed after $\Delta t=0.0173\ s$

Explanation:

Given:

velocity of arrow in projectile, $v=30\ m.s^{-1}$

angle of projectile from the horizontal, $\theta=20^{\circ}$

distance of the point of tossing up of an apple, $d=30\ m$

<u>Now the horizontal component of velocity:</u>

$v_x=v\ cos\ \theta$

$v_x=30\times cos\ 20^{\circ}$

$v_x=28.191\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>The vertical component of the velocity:</u>

$v_y=v.sin\ \theta$

$v_y=30\times sin\ 20^{\circ}$

$v_y=10.261\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Time taken by the projectile to travel the distance of 30 m:</u>

$t=\frac{d}{v_x}$

$t=\frac{30}{28.191}$

$t=1.0642\ s$

<u>Vertical position of the projectile at this time:</u>

$h=v_y.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^2$

$h=10.261\times 1.0642-\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8\times 1.0642^2$

$h=5.3701\ m$

<u>Now this height should be the maximum height of the tossed apple where its velocity becomes zero.</u>

$v'^2=u'^2-2g.h$

$0^2=u'^2-2\times 9.8\times 5.3701$

$u'=10.259\ m.s^{-1}$ is the initial velocity of tossing the apple.

<u>Time taken to reach this height:</u>

$v'=u'-g.t'$

$0=10.259-9.8\times t'$

$t'=1.0469\ s$

<u>We observe that </u> $t>t'$ <u> hence the time after the launch of the projectile after which the apple should be tossed is:</u>

$\Delta t=t-t'$

$\Delta t=1.0642-1.0469$

$\Delta t=0.0173\ s$

A circular test track for cars has a circumference of 3.5 km . A car travels around the track from the southernmost point to the

Marta_Voda [28]

<span>The car would have traveled exactly one-half of the circumference of the track, since it would have gone from one extreme point to its opposite extreme point. This would be equal to (3.5 / 2), or 1.75 km. The northernmost point would be 1.75km away from the southernmost point.</span>
