Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum conservation

$m2v_0+2mv_0=mv_1+2mv_2 \quad (1/m) \quad 4v_0=v_1+2v_2\\$

Kinetic energy conservation

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}m(2v_0)^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_2^2 \quad (1/m) \quad 6v_0^2=v_1^2+2v_2^2$

What will be the final velocity of a 5.0 g bullet starting from rest, if a net force of 45 N is applied over a time of 0.02s?

Wewaii [24]

We know there’s a change in momentum due to a force applied over a time interval. Ft= m[v(final)-v(initial)]. Now simply plug in know values: (45)(0.02)=.005[v(final)-0]. Remember converting grams to kilograms. Solve for v final

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 does a tachometer measure?

nlexa [21]

A tachometer measures, for example it measures the MPH(Miles Per Hour) in a car. So like it measures your speed, so you could be going 100 MPH.
