A bullet with a mass ????b=13.5mb=13.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity ????b=253vb=253 m/s. The block is attached to

a spring that has a spring constant ????k of 205205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.035.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass of the wooden block.

Answer:

450 grams

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the bullet, m = 13.5 g = 0.0135 kg

velocity of the bullet, v = 253 m/s

spring constant of the spring, k = 205 N/m

Compression of the spring, x = 35.0 cm = 0.35 m

Now, the kinetic energy of the moving system (bullet + board) will tend to move the spring

thus,

let velocity of the system, V

now, applying the concept of conservation of momentum, we have

mv = (M + m)V

where,

M is the mass of the block

thus,

V = mv/(M + m)

now,

the kinetic energy of the system = (1/2)(M + m)V²

or

the kinetic energy of the system = (1/2)(M + m)(mv/(m + M))²

Energy gained by the spring = (1/2)kx²

now,

equating both the energies, we get

(1/2)(M + m)(mv/(m + M))² = (1/2)kx²

or

(mv)²/(m + M) = kx²

on substituting the values, we get

(0.0135 × 253)²/(0.0135 + M) = 205 × (0.35)²

or

11.66/(0.0135 + M) = 25.1125

or

M = 0.450 kg = 450 grams

patriot [66]
A) We know that:
Pressure = Force / Area

And for a spring,
F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the change in length.

P = kx/A; P = 101325 Pa
101325 = 3900x / (0.02²π)
x = 0.033 m or 3.3 cm

b) Work = 1/2 kx²
= 1/2 * 3900 * (0.033)²
= 2.12 Joules

In the two-slit experiment, monochromatic light of frequency 5.00 × 1014 Hz passes through a pair of slits separated by 2.20 × 1
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

\theta=4.64^{\circ}

Explanation:

It is given that,

The frequency of monochromatic light, f=5\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Slit separation, d=2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m

Let \theta is the angle away from the central bright spot the third bright fringe past the central bright spot occur. The condition for bright fringe is :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

n = 3

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

d\ sin\theta=\dfrac{nc}{f}        

sin\theta=\dfrac{nc}{fd}        

sin\theta=\dfrac{3\times 3\times 10^8}{5\times 10^{14}\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}}  

\theta=4.64^{\circ}

So, at 4.64 degrees the third bright fringe past the central bright spot occur. Hence, this is the required solution.

How does a galvanometer use a magnetic field to indicate the strength of an electric current?
Lynna [10]
It consists of a coil in a constant magnetic field.  The current in the coil is the current being measured, and changes the magnetic moment of the coil (given by IA where I is current and A is loop area).  This coil's magnetic moment feels a torque in this external magnetic field that moves a needle that tells the observer what the current must be, since the external field is known by the designers of the galvanometer.

Oil spilled from a ruptured tanker spreads in a circle whose area increases at a constant rate of 5.5 mi2/hr. How rapidly is rad
Travka [436]
<h2>The radius will increase at the rate of 0.64 mi/hr </h2>

Explanation:

The area of a circle can be represented by  A = π r²            I

Differentiating both sides w.r.t time

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2π r \frac{dr}{dt}                                    II

Dividing II by I , we have

\frac{dA}{A} = 2 x  \frac{dr}{r}

substituting the values

\frac{dr}{r} = \frac{5.5}{12} = 0.46 mi per unit radius

or dr = 1.4 x 0.46 = 0.64 mi/hr

here 1.4 mi is the radius , when area of circle is 6 mi²
