A 6.20 g bullet moving at 929 m/s strikes a 850 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling

in the same direction with its speed reduced to 478 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) Final speed of block = 3.2896 m/s

(b) 6.7350 m/s is the speed of the bullet-block center of mass?

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of bullet (m₁) = 6.20 g

Initial Speed of bullet (u₁) = 929 m/s

Final speed of bullet (v₁) = 478 m/s

Mass of wooden block (m₂) = 850g

Initial speed of block initial (u₂) = 0 m/s

Final speed of block (v₂) = ?

<u>By the law of conservation of momentum as:</u>

<u>m₁×u₁ + m₂×u₂ = m₁×v₁ + m₂×v₂</u>

6.20×929 + 850×0 = 6.20×478 + 850×v₂

Solving for v₂, we get:

<u>v₂ = 3.2896 m/s</u>

Let the V be the speed of the bullet-block center of mass. So,

V = [m₁* u₁]/[m₁ + m₂] (p before collision = p after collision)

= [6.2 *929]/[5.2+850]

<u>V = 6.7350 m/s </u>

Two ice skaters, Lilly and John, face each other while at rest, and then push against each other's hands. The mass of John is tw

seropon [69]

Answer:

Lilly's speed is two times John's speed.

Explanation:

m = Mass

a = Acceleration

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

The force they apply on each other will be equal

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow a_l=\frac{F}{m_l}$

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow a_j=\frac{F}{2m_l}\\\Rightarrow a_j=\frac{1}{2}a_l$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v_l=0+\frac{F}{m_l}\times t\\\Rightarrow v_l=a_lt$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v_l=0+\frac{F}{2m_l}\times t\\\Rightarrow v_j=\frac{1}{2}a_lt\\\Rightarrow v_j=\frac{1}{2}v_l\\\Rightarrow v_l=2v_j$

Hence, Lilly's speed is two times John's speed.

Water with a volume flow rate of 0.001 m3/s, flows inside a horizontal pipe with diameter of 1.2 m. If the pipe length is 10m an

galben [10]

Answer:

$\triangle P=1.95*10^{-4}$

Explanation:

Mass $m=0.001$

Diameter $d=1.2m$

Length $l=10m$

Generally the equation for Volume flow rate is mathematically given by

$Q=AV$

$V=\frac{Q}{\pi/4D^2}$

$V=\frac{0.001}{\pi/4(1.2)^2}$

$V=8.84*10^{-4}$

Generally the equation for Friction factor is mathematically given by

$F=\frac{64}{Re}$

Where Re

Re=Reynolds Number

$Re=\frac{pVD}{\mu}$

$Re=\frac{1000*8.84*10^{-4}*1.2}{1.002*10^{-3}}$

$Re=1040$

Therefore

$F=\frac{64}{Re}$

$F=\frac{64}{1040}$

$F=0.06$

Generally the equation for Friction factor is mathematically given by

$Head loss=\frac{fLv^2}{2dg}$

$H=\frac{0.06*10*(8.9*10^-4)^2}{2*1.2*9.81}$

$H=19.9*10^{-9}$

Where

$H=\frac{\triangle P}{\rho g}$

$\triangle P=\frac{19.9*10^{-9}}{10^3*(9.81)}$

$\triangle P=H*\rho g$

$\triangle P=1.95*10^{-4}$
