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>

Orbital velocity is the average speed of a planet moving through space in its orbit around the sun. Which of the following plane
labwork [276]

The force of gravity is equal to the mass times centripetal acceleration.

Fg = m v^2 / r

The force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation as:

Fg = mMG / r^2

Therefore:

mMG / r^2 = m v^2 / r

MG / r = v^2

v increases as r decreases. So the planet with the smallest orbit (closest to the sun) will have the highest orbital velocity. Of the four options, that's Mercury.

1) A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an electrical insulator with no electrically conductive path through
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Current flows in a resistor-capacitor circuit because of the varying electric field across the plates of a capacitor induced by an AC voltage source <em>(displacement current)</em>

Explanation:

In a capacitor, current does not flow the same way it does in a circuit, that is through conduction. This is because there is a highly resistive material in between the plates of the capacitor. Rather current flows through a phenomenon called displacement current.

Because of change in charge accumulation with time above the plates, the electric field changes causing the displacement current.

Displacement current arises due to the flow of electrons as a result of the varying magnetic fields set up on the plates of the capacitor when supplied with an AC voltage. It is important to note that a DC voltage does not induce any displacement current.

<em>Through this, phenomenon discovered by Maxwell,  current is able to flow in a resistor-capacitor circuit despite the absence of an electrically conductive path through the plates.</em>
