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

How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 1500 meters if sound travels at a speed of 330 m/s
Elis [28]

Data given:

Δx=1500m

v=330m/s

t=?

Formula:

V=Δx/t

Solution:

t=1500m/330m/s

t=4.5s

A 500 kg sack of coal falls vertically onto a 2000 kg railroad flatcar which was initially moving horizontally at 3 m/s. no exte
Zinaida [17]

Since there are no external forces, including friction, act on the flatcar. after the sack rests on the flatcar, we would assume that momentum is conserved. This means that

total momentum of car before collision = total momentum of car after collision.

Recall,

momentum = mass x velocity

From the information given,

mass of car before collision = 2000

velocity of car before collision = 3

Thus,

total momentum of car before collision = 2000 x 3 = 6000

Also,

mass of sack = 500

mass of car and sack after collision = 500 + 2000 = 2500

velocity after collision = v

momentum after collision = 2500 x v = 2500v

Since momentum is conserved, then

6000 = 2500v

v = 6000/2500

v = 2.4

the speed of the flatcar is 2.4 m/s
