P5. A bullet with an initial velocity of 280 m/s in the x-direction penetrates an initially stationary block of mass 11 kg and e

merges on the other side with a final velocity of 70 m/s in the x-direction. The velocity of the block after the collision is 0.2 m/s, also in the x-direction. Assume the block slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. What is the mass of the bullet

Answer:

the mass of the bullet is 10.5 g

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u₁ = 280 m/s

final velocity of the bullet, v₁ = 70 m/s

final velocity of the block, v₂ = 0.2 m/s

mass of the block, m₂ = 11 kg

initial velocity of the block, u₂ = 0

let the mass of the bullet = m₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for elastic collision to calculate the mass of the bullet.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁  + m₂v₂

280m₁  +  11(0)  = 70m₁  +  11 x 0.2

280m₁ = 70m₁  + 2.2

280m₁ - 70m₁  = 2.2

210m₁ = 2.2

m₁ = 2.2/210

m₁ = 0.0105 kg

m₁ = 10.5 g

Therefore, the mass of the bullet is 10.5 g

a car has a velocity of 10ms-1. it accelerates at 0.2 ms-2 for half minute find the total distance travelled and final velocity
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Final velocity = 16 m/s

Total distane travelled = 390 m

Explanation:

We can use equation of motion to solve this:

v = u + at \\ v = 10 + 0.2(30) \\ v = 16 {ms}^{ - 1}

s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}  \\ s = 10(30) +  \frac{1}{2} (0.2) {(30)}^{2}  \\ s = 390m

A wave with a speed of 437 m/s has a frequency of 28 hertz. What is the length of the wave?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 15.6 metres

Explanation:

Given that:

length of wave (λ)= ?

Frequency of wave F = 28 Hertz

Speed of wave (V) = 437 m/s

The wavelength is the distance covered by the wave in one complete cycle. It is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ.

So, apply V = F λ

Make λ the subject formula

λ = V / F

λ = 437 m/s / 28 Hertz

λ = 15.6 m

Thus, the length of the wave is 15.6 metres

A paper pinwheel is spinning in the wind. Which statement is correct about the forces responsible for the rotation?​
laiz [17]

A paper pinwheel is spinning in the wind.

Which statement is correct about the forces responsible for the rotation?

The components of gravity and the force of wind that point through the pivot are responsible for the rotation.

Only the perpendicular component of wind is responsible for the rotation, because gravity points downward.

Only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation, because wind points toward the pivot.

The perpendicular components of gravity and the force of wind are responsible for the rotation.

Answer:

Only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation because wind points toward the pivot.

Explanation:

A pinwheel is a plaything that is made up of paper that is designed to spin when the wind comes in contact with it. The paper is held fast to its axle by a pin which enables it to spin.

Therefore, if the pinwheel is spun anti-clockwise, it brings electrical energy, converting the wind energy and <u>only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation because wind points toward the pivot. </u>
