A 14.3-g bullet is fired into a 5.21 kg block of wood. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring force constant of 450

N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 22.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and the surface on which the block is resting is 0.35. Determine the initial speed of bullet.

Answer:

The initial speed of the bullet is v_{o} = 889.199\,\frac{m}{s}.

Explanation:

The collision between bullet and block is inelastic and let suppose that motion occurs on a horizontal surface, so that changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. Initially, the intial speed of the bullet-block system can be determined with the help of the Work-Energy Theorem and the Principle of Energy Conservation:

K = U_{k} + W_{loss}

\frac{1}{2}\cdot (5.224\,kg)\cdot v^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(450\,\frac{N}{m}\right)\cdot (0.22\,m)^{2} + (0.35)\cdot (5.224\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (0.22\,m)

The initial speed of the bullet-block system is:

v \approx 2.383\,\frac{m}{s}

Now, the initial speed of the bullet is determined by applying the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

(0.014\,kg)\cdot v_{o} = (5.224\,kg)\cdot \left(2.383\,\frac{m}{s} \right)

v_{o} = 889.199\,\frac{m}{s}

An LED with total power P tot = 960 mW emits UV light of wavelength 360 nm. Assuming the LED is 55% efficient and acts as an iso
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

E_0=225.09N/C

Explanation:

We are given that

Power,Ptot=960mW=960\times 10^{-3}W

1mW=10^{-3} W

Wavelength,\lambda=360 nm=360\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

Distance,r=2.5 cm=2.5\times 10^{-2} m

1m=100 cm

Efficiency=55%

Power radiation emitted=\frac{55}{100}\times 960\times 10^{-3}=0.528W

Intensity,I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

I=\frac{0.528}{4\pi(2.5\times 10^{-2})^2}=67.26W/m^2

Intensity,I=\frac{1}{2}c\epsilon_0E^2_0

E^2_0=\frac{2I}{c\epsilon_0}

Where \epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}

c=3\times 10^8 m/s

E_0=\sqrt{\frac{2I}{c\epsilon_0}}

E_0=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 67.26}{3\times 10^8\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}

E_0=225.09N/C

how fast will and in what direction will a 20kg object accelerate if one force pushes at a 30 degree angle and another pushes at
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

|a|=2.83\ m/s^2

\theta=75^o

Explanation:

<u>Net Force And Acceleration </u>

The Newton's second law relates the net force applied on an object of mass m and the acceleration it aquires by

\vec F_n=m\vec a

The net force is the vector sum of all forces. In this problem, we are not given the magnitude of each force, only their angles. For the sake of solving the problem and giving a good guide on how to proceed with similar problems, we'll assume both forces have equal magnitudes of F=40 N

The components of the first force are

\vec F_1=

\vec F_1=\ N

The components of the second force are

\vec F_2=

\vec F_2=\ N

The net force is

\vec F_n=

\vec F_n=\ N

The magnitude of the net force is

|F_n|=\sqrt{14.64^2+54.64^2}

|F_n|=\sqrt{3200}=56.57\ N

The acceleration has a magnitude of

\displaystyle |a|=\frac{|F_n|}{m}

\displaystyle |a|=\frac{56.57}{20}

|a|=2.83\ m/s^2

The direction of the acceleration is the same as the net force:

\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{54.64}{14.64}

\theta=75^o

Please help with science! Describe the magnetic field in the vicinity of a bar magnet.
Katen [24]
The magnetic field is described mathematically as a vector field<span>. This vector field can be plotted directly as a set of many vectors drawn on a grid. Each vector points in the direction that a compass would point and has length dependent on the strength of the magnetic force. </span>
