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

In a game of angry birds you launch a bird with an angle of 53 degrees to horizontal. Unfortunatly, its not a good shot and the
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The maximum height covered is 3.25 m.

The horizontal distance covered is 9.81 m.

The total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

Explanation:

The launch speed, u_0= 10 m/s.

Angle of launch with the horizontal, \theta = 53 ^{\circ}

So, the vertical component of the initial velocity,

u_0\sin\theta=10 \sin 53 ^{\circ}\cdots(i).

The horizontal component of the initial velocity,

u_0\cos\theta=10 \cos 53 ^{\circ}

Let, t be the time of flight, to the horizontal distance covered

D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})t\cdots(ii).

Not, applying the equation of motion in the vertical direction.

s= ut +\frac 1 2 at^2

Where s is the displacement in time t, u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration.

In this case, u =10 \sin 53 ^{\circ} (from equation (i), s=0 (as the final height is same as the launch height) and a = -9.81 m/s^2 (negative sign is due to the downward direction).

\Rightarrow 0 = 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})t-\frac 1 2 (9.81)t^2

\Rightarrow t= \frac {2\times 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})}{9.81}=1.63 seconds.

So, the total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

From equation (i),

Total horizontal distance covered is

D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})\times 1.63 = 9.81 m.

Now, for the maximum height, H, applying the equation of motion as

v^2=u^2+2as

Here, v is the final velocity and v=0 (at the maximum height), and h=H.

So, 0^2=(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2-2(9.81)H

\Rightarrow H = \frac {(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2}{2\times 9.81}

\Rightarrow H = 3.25 m.

Hence, the maximum height covered is 3.25 m.

How do constructive and destructive forces change earth
Virty [35]
The surface of the earth changes. Some changes are due to slow processes, such as erosion and weathering, and some changes are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.

A soccer ball is kicked At 8m/s. It lands on the ground after being in the air for .85 seconds. At what angle is it kicked?
SpyIntel [72]

If ball remains in air for total time T = 0.85 s

this is also known as time of flight

In order to find the time of flight we can use kinematics

\Delta Y = v_y*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

so for complete motion its displacement in y direction will be zero

0 = v_y* 0.85 + \frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(0.85^2)

0 = v_y*0.85 - 3.54

v_y = 4.165 m/s

now we know that net velocity of the ball is 8 m/s

while is y direction component we got is vy = 4.165 m/s

now by component method we can say

v_y = v sin\theta

4.165 = 8 sin\theta

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{4.165}{8}

\theta = 31.4^0

so it is projected at an angle of 31.4 degree above horizontal
