Answer:

the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet, m₀ = 20 g = 0.02 kg

velocity of the bullet, v₀ = 250 m/s

mass of the wood, m₁ = 2 kg

velocity of the wood, v₁ = 0

Let the velocity of the bullet-wood system after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to calculate the final velocity of the system;

Initial momentum = final momentum

m₀v₀ + m₁v₁ = v(m₀ + m₁)

0.02 x 250  + 2 x 0    =    v(2  + 0.02)

5 + 0 = v(2.02)

5 = 2.02v

v = 5/2.02

v = 2.48 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s

The 75.0 kg hero of a movie is pulled upward with a constant acceleration of 2.00 m/s2 by a rope. What is the tension on the rop
lutik1710 [3]

Use Newton's second law. The net force on the hero is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>T</em> - <em>m g</em> = <em>m</em> (2.00 m/s²)

where

• <em>T</em> = tension in the rope

• <em>m</em> = 75.0 kg = mass of the hero

• <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² = acceleration due to gravity

Solve for <em>T</em> :

<em>T</em> = (75.0 kg)<em> </em>(<em>g</em> + 2.00 m/s²) = 885 N

A 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

\eta = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW

Waste of power

2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W

Number of homes would be given by

n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647
