A 0.150 kg stone rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A bullet of mass 9.50 g, traveling horizontally at 380 m/s, strike

s the stone and rebounds horizontally at right angles to its original direction with a speed of 250 m/s.
Required:
a. Compute the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the stone after it is struck.
b. Is the collision perfectly elastic?

Answer:

(a)Magnitude=28.81 m/s

Direction=33.3 degree below the horizontal

(b) No, it is not perfectly elastic collision

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of stone, M=0.150 kg

Mass of bullet, m=9.50 g=9.50\times 10^{3} kg

Initial speed of bullet, u=380 m/s

Initial speed of stone, U=0

Final speed of bullet, v=250m/s

a. We have to find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the stone after it is struck.

Using conservation of momentum

mu+ MU=mv+ MV

Substitute the values

9.5\times 10^{-3}\times 380 i+0.150(0)=9.5\times 10^{-3} (250)j+0.150V

3.61i=2.375j+0.150V

3.61 i-2.375j=0.150V

V=\frac{1}{0.150}(3.61 i-2.375j)

V=24.07i-15.83j

Magnitude of velocity of stone

=\sqrt{(24.07)^2+(-15.83)^2}

|V|=28.81 m/s

Hence, the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the stone after it is struck, |V|=28.81 m/s

Direction

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})

=tan^{-1}(\frac{-15.83}{24.07})

\theta=tan^{-1}(-0.657)

=33.3 degree below the horizontal

(b)

Initial kinetic energy

K_i=\frac{1}{2}mu^2+0=\frac{1}{2}(9.5\times 10^{-3})(380)^2

K_i=685.9 J

Final kinetic energy

K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}MV^2

=\frac{1}{2}(9.5\times 10^{-3})(250)^2+\frac{1}{2}(0.150)(28.81)^2

K_f=359.12 J

Initial kinetic energy is not equal to final kinetic energy. Hence, the collision is not perfectly elastic collision.

Answer:

The "pressure" of the electricity is electric potential. Electric potential is the amount of energy available to push each unit of charge through an electric circuit. The unit of electric potential is the volt. ... A volt is the force needed to move one amp through a conductor that has 1 ohm of resistance

What is approximate resistance between P and Q?<br> a) 0.5<br> b)0.8<br> c)2.0<br> d)2.2<br> e)3.6
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

0.5 Ohms

Explanation:

We note that the node Q is also between the resistors of 1ohm and 2ohms.

We note that the node P is also between the resistors of 2ohms and 3ohms.

Thus, all these resistors are in parallel, beween nodes P and Q

1/Re=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3

1/Re=1/1+1/2+1/3=(6+3+2)/6=11/6 [ohm^(-1)]

Re=6/11=0.54ohms

Rounding to the tenth: Re=0.5 ohms
