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

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

E=252J

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object or system is given by:

E mech=K+U

Where K is the kinetic energy of the object and U is the potential energy of the object. The carriage, sitting motionless at the top of the hill, has only potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy.

Gravitational potential energy is given by:

Ug=mgh

Where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration constant, and h is the height of the object above some specific reference point, in this case the ground 21 m below.

The weight of a stationary object at the surface of the earth is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.

W=→Fg=mg

We are given that the carriage weighs 12 N, therefore mg=12N.

Ug=12N⋅21m

⇒Ug=252Nm=252J

Hope it helped, God bless you!

If there are 50 people per square kilometer in a city, and the area of the city is 1.5 × 10 square kilometers. What is the total
qaws [65]

Answer:

750 people

Explanation:

From the question,

Number of people in the city = population density×Area of the city

N = D×A.......................... Equagtion 1

Where N = Number of people in the city, D = population density, A = Area of the city.

Given: D = 50 people per square kilometer, A = 1.5×10 square kilometer.

Substitute into equation 1

N = 50(1.5×10)

N = 750 people.

Hence the total number of people in the city is 750 people.
