In a ballistics test, a 24 g bullet traveling horizontally at 1200 m/s goes through a 31-cm-thick 320 kg stationary target and e

merges with a speed of 910 m/s. The target is free to slide on a smooth horizontal surface. What is the targetâs speed just after the bullet emerges?

Answer:

The  velocity is  v_t  =  0.02175 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of the bullet is  m_b  =  0.024 \  kg

    The initial speed of the bullet is  u_b  =  1200 \  m/s

   The mass of the target is  m_t  =  320 \  kg

    The  initial velocity of target is  u_t  =  0  \ m/s

    The  final velocity of the bullet is  is  v_b  =  910 \  m/s

   

Generally according to the law of momentum conservation we have that

      m_b *  u_b  +  m_t *  u_t  =  m_b *  v_b  +  m_t  *  v_t

=>   0.024  *  1200  +  320 *  0  =  0.024 *  910   +  320  *  v_t

=>    v_t  =  0.02175 \  m/s

We use v=IR and assuming the resistance doesn’t change we can also say that the voltage and current (I) are directly proportional which means the voltage also decreases by 1/2

adoni [48]

Answer:

An object may become extinct due to the lack of quantity of the object and the object no longer exists so it is now extinct.

In her hand, a softball pitcher swings a ball of mass 0.245 kg around a vertical circular path of radius 59.8 cm before releasin
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The velocity is v_b = 20.17 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the ball is  m = 0.245 \ kg

   The radius is  r =  59.8 \  cm  =  0.598 \ m

   The force is  F =  30.9 \ N

   The speed of the ball is  v = 16.0 \ m/s.

Generally the kinetic energy at the top of the circle is mathematically represented as

    K_t  =  \frac{1}{2} *  m  *  v^2

=> K_t  =  \frac{1}{2} *  0.245   *  16.0 ^2  

=> K_t  =  31.36 \ J  

Generally the work done by the force applied on the ball from the top to the bottom  is mathematically represented as

       W =  F *  d

Here  d is the length of  a semi - circular arc which is mathematically represented as

       d =  \pi * r

So

      W =  30.9 *  0.598

      W = 18.48 \ J

Generally the kinetic energy at the bottom is mathematically represented as

      K_b  =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  v_b^2

=>    K_b  =  \frac{1}{2} *  0.245  *  v_b^2

=>   K_b  =  0.1225  *  v_b^2

From the law of energy conservation

     K_t +  W  =K_b

=>    31.36+  18.48 = 0.1225  *  v_b^2

=>    v_b = 20.17 \ m/s
