Answer:
The bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the bullet,
Mass of the pendulum,
The center of mass of the pendulum rises a vertical distance of 10 cm.
We need to find the bullet's initial speed if it is assumed that the bullet remains embedded in the pendulum. Let it is v. In this case, the energy of the system remains conserved. The kinetic energy of the bullet gets converted to potential energy for the whole system. So,
V is the speed of the bullet and pendulum at the time of collision
Now using conservation of momentum as :
Put the value of V from equation (1) in above equation as :
So, the bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.
Answer:
Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.
Explanation:
- We can take the initial velocity vector, which magnitude is a given (67 m/s) and project it along two directions perpendicular each other, which we choose horizontal (coincident with x-axis, positive to the right), and vertical (coincident with y-axis, positive upward).
- Both movements are independent each other, due to they are perpendicular.
- In the horizontal direction, assuming no other forces acting, once launched, the supply must keep the speed constant.
- Applying the definition of cosine of an angle, we can find the horizontal component of the initial velocity vector, as follows:
- Applying the definition of average velocity, since we know the horizontal distance to the target, we can find the time needed to travel this distance, as follows:
- In the vertical direction, once launched, the only influence on the supply is due to gravity, that accelerates it with a downward acceleration that we call g, which magnitude is 9.8 m/s2.
- Since g is constant (close to the Earth's surface), we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the vertical displacement at the same time t that we found above, as follows:
- In this case, v₀y, is just the vertical component of the initial velocity, that we can find applying the definition of the sine of an angle, as follows:
- Replacing in (3) the values of t, g, and v₀y, we can find the vertical displacement at the time t, as follows:
- Since when the payload have traveled itself 400 m, it will be at a height of 53.5 m (higher than the target) we can conclude that the payload will be delivered safely to the drop site.
