A 4.30 g bullet moving at 943 m/s strikes a 730 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling

in the same direction with its speed reduced to 484 m/s. (a) What is the resulting speed of the block? (b) What is the speed of the bullet-block center of mass?

Answer:

(a)2.7 m/s

(b) 5.52 m/s

Explanation:

The total of the system would be conserved as no external force is acting on it.

Initial momentum = final momentum

⇒(4.30 g × 943 m/s) + (730 g × 0) = (4.30 g × 484 m/s) + (730 g × v)

⇒ 730 ×v = (4054.9 - 2081.2) =1973.7

⇒v=2.7 m/s

Thus, the resulting speed of the block is 2.7 m/s.

(b) since, the momentum is conserved, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass would be constant.

V_{COM} = \frac{m_b}{m_b+m_{bl}}v_{bi}=\frac{4.30}{4.30+730}\times 943 m/s = 5.52 m/s

Thus, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass is 5.52 m/s.

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of
Pavel [41]
<h2>Answer: higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures. </h2>

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is the set of destructive processes through which rocky materials go trhough. These processes cause changes in the color, texture, composition, firmness and shape of the material.

It should be noted that this happens when the rocks come into contact with atmospheric agents such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Another important aspect is that rocks are able to break up more easily thanks to this type of weathering, since <u>the mineral grains within the rock lose adherence and dissolve better under the action of some physical agents</u>, such as <u>humidity (rainfall included) and temperature</u>.

Therefore:

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of <u>higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures. </u>

A vehicle moving at 5m/s, i . what should be the constant declaration in order to stop it within 15m? ii. How long it takes to s
Flura [38]

Answer:

Refer to the attachment for solution (1).

<h3><u>Calculating time taken by it to stop (t) :</u></h3>

By using the second equation of motion,

→ v = u + at

  • v denotes final velocity
  • u denotes initial velocity
  • t denotes time
  • a denotes acceleration

→ 0 = 5 + (-5/6)t

→ 0 = 5 - (5/6)t

→ 0 + (5/6)t = 5

→ (5/6)t = 5

→ t = 5 ÷ (5/6)

→ t = 5 × (6/5)

→ t = 6 seconds

→ Time taken to stop = 6 seconds

A sound wave has a frequency of 500 Hz and a wavelength of 1.8 m. What is the wave speed of the sound wave? Question 1 options:
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 \frac{m}{s}.

Explanation:

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The propagation velocity is the speed with which the wave propagates in the medium, that is, it is the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation: v = f * λ.

In this case:

  • f= 500 Hz
  • λ= 1.8 m

Replacing:

v= 500 Hz* 1.8 m

v= 900 \frac{m}{s}

<u><em>The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 </em></u>\frac{m}{s}<u><em>.</em></u>

An iron wire has length 8.0m and a diameter 0.50mm. The sir has a resistance R.
Rudik [331]
The re<span>sistance of the second wire is 16 R.
where R is the resistance of the first wire.

R = </span>ρ\frac{l}{A}
where l = length of the wire
A = area of the wire
A = \pi r^{2} where, r = \frac{diameter of wire}{2}

Thus, on finding the ratio of resistance of the two wires, we get,

\frac{R1}{R2} =  \frac{l1A2}{l2A1}

here, R1 = R
l1 = 8m
l2 = 2m
A1=π0.25^{2}
A1=π0.50^{2}

we get. R2 = 16R

A body weighs 100newtons and 80newtons when submerged in water.calculate the upthrust action on the body
katovenus [111]

Answer:

20 N

Explanation:

In air, the normal force is equal to the weight.

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Submerged in water, the normal force is equal to the weight minus the buoyant force:

∑F = ma

B + N − mg = 0

N = mg − B

Plugging in values:

80 N = 100 N − B

B = 20 N
