Answer:

250 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the bullet, m₁ = 100 g = 0.1 kg

The mass of the gun, m₂ = 5 kg

The backward velocity of the gun, v₂ = -5 m/s

Given that the momentum is conserved, we have;

The total initial momentum = The total final momentum

The gun and the bullet are at rest, therefore, we have;

The initial momentum = 0

The total final momentum = m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂

Where;

v₁ = The forward velocity of the bullet

Therefore, we get;

m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂ = 0

0.1 kg × v₁ + 5 kg × (-5 m/s) = 0

0.1 kg × v₁ = 5 kg × 5 m/s

v₁ = (5 kg × 5 m/s)/(0.1 kg) = 250 m/s

The forward velocity of the bullet, v₁ = 250 m/s

Recall the equation for magnetic force:

F = qv x B          *x is cross product, not separate variable!

If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.

Please answer this question for me and explain why.
horsena [70]

Answer:

D.None of these

Explanation:

The derivation of acceleration formula:

Let us call the 5kg mass m_2 and the 4kg mass m_1. If the tension in the string is T then for the mass m_2

(1). T-m_2g=-m_2a <em>(the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)</em>

And for the mass m_1

(2). T-m_1g =m_1a<em> (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)</em>

Solving for T in the 2nd equation we get:

T =m_1a+m_1g,

and putting this into the 1st equation we get:

m_1a+m_1g-m_2g=-m_2a\\\\m_1a+m_2a = m_2g-m_1g\\\\a(m_1+m_2)= (m_2-m_1)g

\boxed{a= \dfrac{(m_2-m_1)}{(m_1+m_2)} g}

Back to the question:

Using the formula for the acceleration we find

a= \dfrac{(5kg-4kg)}{(5kg+4kg)} g

a = \dfrac{g}{9},

which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.

If the pendulum is brought on the moon where the gravitational acceleration is about g/6, approximately what will its period now
Andru [333]

Answer:

The new period will be √6 *T

Explanation:

period ,T=2π√(L/g)       ................equation 1

where T is the period on earth

gravitational acceleration on the moon is g/6

T1 = 2π√[L/(g/6)]

T1=2π√(6L/g)               ...............equation 2

divide equation 2 by 1

T1/T =2π√(6L/g)÷2π√(L/g)

T1/T =√(6L/L)

T1/T =√6

T1 = √6 *T
