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.

An object moves in one dimensional motion with constant acceleration a = 4.2 m/s^2. At time t = 0 s, the object is at x0 = 3.9 m
solong [7]

Answer:

The object will move to Xfinal = 7.5m

Explanation:

By relating the final velocity of the object and its acceleration, I can obtain the time required to reach this velocity point:

Vf= a × t ⇒ t= (7.2 m/s) / (4.2( m/s^2)) = 1,7143 s

With the equation of the total space traveled and the previously determined time I can obtain the end point of the object on the x-axis:

Xfinal= X0 + /1/2) × a × (t^2) = 3.9m + (1/2) × 4.2( m/s^2) × ((1,7143 s) ^2) =

= 3.9m + 3.6m = 7.5m

Real world situation to explain the relationship between work and power
In-s [12.5K]
-- You and your partner both get the same job to do:

Each of you gets a pallet of bricks, and you have to
put the bricks up on the bed of a truck, by hand.
Both pallets have the same number of bricks.

The pallet is way too heavy to lift, so you both cut the bands
that hold the bricks, and you lift the bricks from the pallet onto
the truck, by hand, two or three or four bricks at a time.

-- You get your pallet of bricks onto the truck in 45 minutes.

-- Your partner gets his pallet of bricks onto the truck in 3 days.

-- Work = (force) times (distance).

    You and your partner both lifted the same amount of weight
     up to the same height.  You both did the same amount of work.

-- Power = (work done) divided by (time it takes to do the work) .

  
Your partner took roughly 96 times as long as you took
   to do the same amount of work. 
   You did it faster.  He did it slower.
   You produced more power.  He produced less power.

What is a lever and mention its types<br>​
Grace [21]

Answer:

Three different types of levers exist, depending on where the input force, fulcrum, and load are. A class 1 lever has the fulcrum between the input force and load. A class 2 lever has the load between the fulcrum and input force. A class 3 lever is a lever that has the input force in between the fulcrum and the load.
