A stone with a mass of 0.100kg rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A bullet of mass 2.50g traveling horizontally at 500

m/s strikes the stone and rebounds horizontally at right angles to its original direction with a speed of 300m/s.
A) Compute the magnitude of the velocity of the stone after it is struck.
B) Compute the direction of the velocity of the stone after it is struck. (degrees from the initial direction of the bullet)

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of stone (M) = 0.100 kg

mass of bullet (m) = 2.50 g = 2.5  ×10 ⁻³ kg

initial velocity of stone (u_{stone}) = 0 m/s

Initial velocity of bullet (u_{bullet}) = (500 m/s)i

Speed of the bullet after collision (v_{bullet}) = (300 m/s) j

Suppose we represent (v_{stone}) to be the velocity of the stone after the truck, then:

From linear momentum, the law of conservation can be applied which is expressed as:

m*u_{bullet} + M*{u_{stone}}= mv_{bullet}+Mv_{stone}

(2.50*10^{-3} \ kg) (500)i+0 = (2.50*10^{-3} \ kg)(300 \ m/s)j + (0.100 \ kg)v_{stone}

(2.50*10^{-3} \ kg) (500)i- (2.50*10^{-3} \ kg)(300 \ m/s)j=  (0.100 \ kg)v_{stone}

v_{stone}= (1.25\  kg.m/s)i-(0.75\ kg m/s)j

v_{stone}= (12.5\  m/s)i-(7.5\ m/s)j

∴

The magnitude now is:

v_{stone}=\sqrt{ (12.5\  m/s)^2-(7.5\ m/s)^2}

\mathbf{v_{stone}= 14.6 \ m/s}

Using the tangent of an angle to determine the direction of the velocity after the struck;

Let θ represent the direction:

\theta = tan^{-1} (\dfrac{-7.5}{12.5})

\mathbf{\theta = 30.96^0 \ below \ the \ horizontal\ level}

If the force of a golf club on a golf ball is 200 N forward, what will the force of the ball on the club be? A. 200 N forward B.
Korolek [52]

The ball should put 200 N of force towards the golfer.

Newton's Third Law is every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

It's the ball exerting 200 N of force towards the club as well, but the opposite reaction is that it flies away.

Consider a piston filled with 3 mols of an ideal gas, kept at a constant temperature 290 K. We slowly compress the gas starting
kap26 [50]

Answer: -5013.65\ J

Explanation:

Given

No of moles n=3

Temperature T=290\ K

Initial volume V_1=2\ m^3

Final volume V_2=1\ m^3

Work done in constant temperature process is

W=nRT\ln \left(\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}\right)

Insert the values

\Rightarrow W=3\times 8.314\times 290\ln \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\\\\\Rightarrow W=-870\times 8.314\times \ln (2)\\\Rightarrow W=-5013.65\ J
