A firearms company is testing a new model of rifle by firing a 7.50-g lead bullet into a block of wood having a mass of 17.5 kg.

The bullet embeds into the block and the collision generates heat. As a consequence, the temperature rises by 0.040°C, as measured with a high-precision thermometer. Assuming that all the kinetic energy of the bullet goes into heating the system, what is the bullet’s speed when it enters the block? The initial temperatures of bullet and wooden block can be considered identical and the specific heats of lead and wood are cPb = 130 J/(kg ⋅ C°) and c wood = 1700 J/(kg ⋅ C°), respectively.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the bullets speed be V .

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mV² where m is mass of bullet

This energy is converted into heat Q which raises the temperature of target by Δ T .

Q = mc Δ T , m is mass , c is specific heat and Δ T is rise in temperature .

heat absobed by bullet

= .0075 x 130 x .040

= .039 J

heat absorbed by block of wood

= 17.5 x 1700 x .04

= 1190 J

Total heat absorbed

= 1190.039 J

So kinetic energy = heat absobed

= 1/2 x .0075 x V² = 1190.039

V² = 317343.73

V = 563.33 m /s

How is Behaviorism and Psychoanalysis theories are similar and different?

ser-zykov [4K]

Behaviorism and psychoanalysis are two such schools of thought. Behaviorists give prominence to the external behavior of individuals and believe that behavior is a response to external stimuli. On the other hand, psychoanalysis emphasizes the centrality of the human mind.

While the two theories have been described as polar opposites, two major similarities exist between them. First, the theories are deterministic as they try to explain the factors that result in certain behaviors. Second, both theories acknowledge the important role that experiences play in shaping future behaviors.

The kinetic energy of the ball and the potential energy of the ball/Earth system were measured and organized in the spreadsheet

marin [14]

Based on the data provided, the thermal energies at the given time intervals are as follows:

At time t = 0.0 secs; thermal energy = 0.0 J
At time, t = 0.8 secs; thermal energy = 0.0 J
At time, t = 2.0 secs; thermal energy = 3.9 J
At time, t = 2.8 secs; thermal energy = 6.7 J

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy in an isolated system is conserved.

For a ball undergoing energy conversion between kinetic and potential energy, the sum of the energy remains constant.

Any reduction in total energy is due to conversion of some energy to thermal energy.

Sum of energy: Kinetic + potential + thermal = 15.2 J
Thermal energy = 15.2 - (PE + KE)

At time t = 0.0 secs

Thermal energy = 15.2 - (15.2 + 0.0)

Thermal energy = 0.0 J

At time, t = 0.8 secs

Thermal energy = 15.2 - (4.7 + 10.5)

Thermal energy = 0.0 J

At time, t = 2.0 secs

Thermal energy = 15.2 - (7.4 + 3.9)

Thermal energy = 3.9 J

At time, t = 2.8 secs

Thermal energy = 15.2 - (8.5 + 0.0)

Thermal energy = 6.7 J

Therefore, the thermal energies at the given time intervals are as follows:

At time t = 0.0 secs; thermal energy = 0.0 J
At time, t = 0.8 secs; thermal energy = 0.0 J
At time, t = 2.0 secs; thermal energy = 3.9 J
At time, t = 2.8 secs; thermal energy = 6.7 J

The greatest speed with which an athlete can jump vertically is around 5 m/sec. Determine the speed at which Earth would move do

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Approximately $2.0 \times 10^{-23}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ if that athlete jumped up at $1.8\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . (Assuming that $g = 9.81\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ .)

Explanation:

The momentum $p$ of an object is the product of its mass $m$ and its velocity $v$ . That is: $p = m \cdot v$ .

Before the jump, the speed of the athlete and the earth would be zero (relative to each other.) That is: $v(\text{athlete, before}) = 0$ and $v(\text{earth, before}) = 0$ . Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}& p(\text{athlete, before}) = 0\end{aligned}$ and $p(\text{earth, before}) = 0$ .

Assume that there is no force from outside of the earth (and the athlete) acting on the two. Momentum should be conserved at the instant that the athlete jumped up from the earth.

Before the jump, the sum of the momentum of the athlete and the earth was zero. Because momentum is conserved, the sum of the momentum of the two objects after the jump should also be zero. That is:

$\begin{aligned}& p(\text{athlete, after}) + p(\text{earth, after}) \\ & =p(\text{athlete, before}) + p(\text{earth, before}) \\ &= 0\end{aligned}$ .

Therefore:

$p(\text{athelete, after}) = - p(\text{earth, after})$ .

$\begin{aligned}& m(\text{athlete}) \cdot v(\text{athelete, after}) \\ &= - m(\text{earth}) \cdot v(\text{earth, after})\end{aligned}$ .

Rewrite this equation to find an expression for $v(\text{earth, after})$ , the speed of the earth after the jump:

$\begin{aligned} &v(\text{earth, after}) \\ &= -\frac{m(\text{athlete}) \cdot v(\text{athlete, after})}{m(\text{earth})} \end{aligned}$ .

The mass of the athlete needs to be calculated from the weight of this athlete. Assume that the gravitational field strength is $g = 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ .

$\begin{aligned}& m(\text{athlete}) = \frac{664\; \rm N}{9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \approx 67.686\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate $v(\text{earth, after})$ using $m(\text{earth})$ and $v(\text{athlete, after})$ values from the question:

$\begin{aligned} &v(\text{earth, after}) \\ &= -\frac{m(\text{athlete}) \cdot v(\text{athlete, after})}{m(\text{earth})} \\ &\approx -2.0 \times 10^{-23}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

The negative sign suggests that the earth would move downwards after the jump. The speed of the motion would be approximately $2.0 \times 10^{-23}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

A model rocket blasts off and moves upward with an acceleration of 12 m/s2 until it reaches a height of 26 m. at that height, it

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

initial acceleration of rocket is given as

a = 12 m/s^2

h = 26 m

now we can use kinematics to find its speed

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a h$

$v_f^2 - 0 = 2 * 12*26$

$v_f = 24.98 m/s$

now after this it will be under free fall

so now again using kinematics

$v_f = 0$

at maximum height

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s$

$0 - 24.98^2 = 2 * (-9.8)* h$

$h = 31.8 m$

total height from the ground = 31.8 + 26 = 57.8 m

Part b)

now after reaching highest height it will fall to ground

So in order to find the speed we can use kinematics again

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 0 = 2*9.8*57.8$

$v_f = 33.67 m/s$

Part c)

first rocket accelerate to reach height 26 meter and speed becomes 24.98 m/s

now we have

$v_f - v_i = a t$

$24.98 - 0 = 12*t_1$

$t_1 = 2.1 s$

after this it will reach to highest point and final speed becomes zero

$v_f - v_i = at$

$0 - 24.98 = -9.8 * t$

$t_2 = 2.55 s$

now from this it will fall back to ground and reach to final speed 33.67 m/s

now we have

$v_f - v_i = at$

$33.67 - 0 = 9.8 * t$

$t_3 = 3.44 s$

so total time is given as

<em>t = 3.44 + 2.55 + 2.1 = 8.1 s</em>
