Answer:

The value is  KE_b =0.710 \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass  of the bullet is m_b  = 5.00 \ g  = 0.005 \  kg

  The mass  of the wood is  m_w =  900 \  g  =  0.90\  kg

   The height attained by the combined mass is  h =  8.0 \ cm  =  0.08 \ m

Generally according to the law of energy conservation    

    KE _b  =  PE_c

Here KE_b is the kinetic energy of the bullet before collision.

and PE_c is the  potential  energy of the combined mass of bullet and wood at the height h which is mathematically represented as

      PE_m  =  [m_b  + m_w] *  g *  h

So

   KE_b =PE_c   = [0.005  + 0.90] * 9.8 *0.08

=> KE_b =0.710 \ J

A small ball is attached to the lower end of a 0.800-m-long string, and the other end of the string is tied to a horizontal rod.
mestny [16]

Answer:

a = 17.68 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

length of the string, L = 0.8 m

angle made with vertical, θ = 61°

time to complete 1 rev, t = 1.25 s

radial acceleration = ?

first we have to calculate the radius of the circle

 R = L sin θ

 R = 0.8 x sin 61°

 R = 0.7 m

now, calculating at the angular velocity

\omega =\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

\omega =\dfrac{2\pi}{1.25}

  ω = 5.026 rad/s

now, radial acceleration

 a = r ω²

 a = 0.7 x 5.026²

a = 17.68 m/s²

hence, the radial acceleration of the ball is equal to 17.68 rad/s²

The wheels of an automobile are locked as it slides to a stop from an initial speed of 30.0 m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic f
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

  x = 76.5 m

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law at the point of contact between the wheel and the floor.

     fr = m a

     fr = miy N

     N-W = 0

     N = W

     μ mg = m a

     a = miu g

    a = 0.600 9.8

    a = 5.88 m / s²

Having the acceleration we can use the kinematic relationships to find the distance

     v_{f}² = v₀² + 2 a x

    v_{f} = 0

    x = -v₀² / 2 a

Acceleration opposes the movement by which negative

   x = - 30²/2 (-5.88)

   x = 76.5 m

A certain capacitor, in series with a resistor, is being charged. At the end of 10 ms its charge is half the final value. The ti
vichka [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the expression of charge per unit of time in a capacitor with a given resistance. Mathematically said expression is given as

q(t) = e^{-\frac{t}{(R*C)}}

Here,

q = Charge

t = Time

R = Resistance

C = Capacitance

When the charge reach its half value it has passed 10ms, then the equation is,

\frac{1}{2}*q_{final} = e^{-\frac{0.01}{(R*C)}}

Ln(\frac{1}{2}) = -\frac{0.01}{RC}

- RC = \frac{0.01}{Ln(1/2)}

RC = 0.014s

We know that RC is equal to the time constant, then

T = RC  = 0.014s = 14ms

Therefore the time constant for the process is about 14ms
