Answer:
u = 449 m/s
Explanation:
Given,
Mass of the bullet, m = 26 g
Mass of the wooden block,M = 4.7 Kg
height of the block,h = 0.31 m
initial speed of the block, u = ?
Using conservation of energy




v = 2.47 m/s
Now, using conservation of momentum to calculate the speed of the bullet.
m u + M u' = (M+m)v
m u = (M+m)v
0.026 x u = (4.7+0.026) x 2.47
u = 449 m/s
Hence, the speed of the bullet is equal to 449 m/s.
Hi there!
We can use the kinematic equation:

vf = Final velocity (? m/s)
vi = initial velocity (0 m/s, dropped from rest)
a = acceleration (due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²)
d = distance (9.8 m)
Simplify the equation to solve for vf:

Substitute in the given values:

Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply law of conservation of momentum in space to know the velocity of combination after the impact
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂
.1 x 4 = ( 1 + .1 ) v₂
v₂ = .3636 m /s
1 )
Kinetic energy of the combination
= 1/2 x 1.1 x ( .3636)²
= 7.3 x 10⁻² J
2 )
Initial kinetic energy of the system
= 1/2 x 0.1 x 4²
= 0.8 J
Final kinetic energy of the system = 7.3 x 10⁻²
Loss of energy = .8 - .073
= .727 J
This energy was converted into internal energy of the system .
3 )
increase in entropy = dQ / T
Here dQ = .727 J
T = 300 ( Constant )
dQ / T = 2.42 X 10⁻³ J/K
A prediction is a guess of something happening in the future.
