Does it take more force to slow something down than to speed it up.

1 answer:

7 0

To bring something to a stop the same force that was applied to speed it up can be used to stop it. If a greater force is used it will stop quicker.

A bullet with a mass m b = 11.9 mb=11.9 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity v b = 261 m/s. vb=261 m/s. The block is atta

fredd [130]

Answer:

0.372 kg

Explanation:

The collision between the bullet and the block is inelastic, so only the total momentum of the system is conserved. So we can write:

$mu=(M+m)v$ (1)

where

$m=11.9 g = 11.9\cdot 10^{-3}kg$ is the mass of the bullet

$u=261 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the bullet

$M$ is the mass of the block

$v$ is the velocity at which the bullet and the block travels after the collision

We also know that the block is attached to a spring, and that the surface over which the block slides after the collision is frictionless. This means that the energy is conserved: so, the total kinetic energy of the block+bullet system just after the collision will entirely convert into elastic potential energy of the spring when the system comes to rest. So we can write

$\frac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2 = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$ (2)

where

k = 205 N/m is the spring constant

x = 35.0 cm = 0.35 m is the compression of the spring

From eq(1) we get

$v=\frac{mu}{M+m}$

And substituting into eq(2), we can solve to find the mass of the block:

$(M+m) \frac{(mu)^2}{(M+m)^2}=kx^2\\\frac{(mu)^2}{M+m}=kx^2\\M+m=\frac{(mu)^2}{kx^2}\\M=\frac{(mu)^2}{kx^2}-m=\frac{(11.9\cdot 10^{-3}\cdot 261)^2}{(205)(0.35)^2}-11.9\cdot 10^{-3}=0.372 kg$

What do comets and asteroids have in common? Check all that apply.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

- They are orbiting the Sun

- They are small compared to the planets

Explanation:

- Comets are small bodies made of rock and ice that have a highly elliptical orbit, and that warm when they pass close to the Sun, releasing gas due to the sublimation of the ice, producing a characteristic "tail" that can extend even for hundreds of kilometers. They are generally located outside the Solar System, in the Oort cloud.

- Asteroids are irregular bodies whose size range from a few km to even a few hundreds of km, that orbit the Sun in an area of the Solar System located between Mars and Jupiter, called "Asteroid belt". They are made mainly of rock and metal debris

So now we can analyze the statements given:

- They are made of ice: FALSE, because this is only valid for comets

- They are orbiting the Sun: TRUE for both comets and asteroids

- They are made of metal debris: FALSE, this is only valid for asteroids

- They are small compared to the planets: TRUE for both (the biggest asteroid, Ceres, has a radius of approx 500 km, much smaller than the smallest planet, Mercury)

- They are at the center of the solar system: FALSE for both

Which of the following is correct concerning the uncontrolled burn phase?

beks73 [17]

The option that is the correct one concerning the uncontrolled burn phase is:

The uncontrolled burn phase is characterized by uncontrolled combustion in a cylinder until fuel accumulated during ignition delay is burned.

<h3>What is uncontrolled combustion?</h3>

Uncontrolled Combustion is known to be the the time and place in which a kind of an ignition will stop and it is said to be never fixed by anything in regards to the compression ignition engine as seen in SI engines.

Note that the four Stages of combustion are:

1. Pre-flame combustion

2. Uncontrolled combustion

3. Controlled combustion and

4. After burning

Hence, The uncontrolled burn phase is characterized by uncontrolled combustion in a cylinder until fuel accumulated during ignition delay is burned as all the fuel need to burn out.
