A 4g bullet, travelling at 589m/s embeds itself in a 2.3kg block of wood that is initially at rest, and together they travel at

the same velocity. Calculate the percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before.

Answer:

The  percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before is 0.174 %

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m₁ = 4g = 0.004kg

initial velocity of bullet, u₁ = 589 m/s

mass of block of wood, m₂ = 2.3 kg

initial velocity of the block of wood, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the system after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁+m₂)

0.004(589) + 2.3(0) = v(0.004 + 2.3)

2.356 = 2.304v

v = 2.356 / 2.304

v = 1.0226 m/s

Initial kinetic energy of the system

K.E₁ = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²

K.E₁ = ¹/₂(0.004)(589)² = 693.842 J

Final kinetic energy of the system

K.E₂ = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂ x 1.0226² x (0.004 + 2.3)

K.E₂ = 1.209 J

The kinetic energy left in the system = final kinetic energy of the system

The percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before = (K.E₂ / K.E₁) x 100%

                       = (1.209 / 693.842) x 100%

                        = 0.174 %

Therefore, the  percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before is 0.174 %

Which is true regarding AC current? The electrons move back and forth. The +/- polarity is constant. It is common in portable de
andre [41]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

AC current stands for alternating current. In an alternating current there is periodically reverse movement of current.

This means electrons move in one direction for a certain time and then they reverse their movement for the same time period and it continues in the back and forth position.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement electrons move back and forth is true regarding AC current.

How fast would the International Space Station (ISS) have to travel to maintain a circular orbit a distance of 1400 km above the
professor190 [17]

Answer:

The International Space Station move at 7.22 km/s.

Explanation:

Orbital speed of satellite is given by  v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}, where G is gravitational constant, M is mass of Earth and r is the distance to satellite from centre of Earth.

r = R + h = 6350 + 1400 = 7750 km = 7.75 x 10⁶ m

G = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

M = 5.98 x 10²⁴ kg

Substituting

              v=\sqrt{\frac{6.673\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{7.75\times 10^6}}=7223.86m/s=7.22km/s

  The International Space Station move at 7.22 km/s.

Find the net charge of a system consisting of 6.25×10^6 electrons and 7.75×10^6 protons. Express your answer using three signifi
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

2.40 x 10⁻¹³ C

Explanation:

n_{e} = number of electrons = 6.25 x 10⁶

q_{e} = charge on electron = - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

n_{p} = number of protons = 7.75 x 10⁶

q_{p} = charge on proton =  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Net charge is given as

Q = n_{e} q_{e} + n_{p} q_{p}

Q = (- 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (6.25 x 10⁶) + (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (7.75 x 10⁶)

Q = 2.40 x 10⁻¹³ C

a surface recieving sound is moved from it original position to a position three times farther away from the source of the sound
Delicious77 [7]
Sound intensity = 1/(r^2)

That is Sound intensity is indirectly proportional to  the distance. Therefore, sound becomes 9 times less intense.
