Answer:

The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is μk=0.441

Explanation:

Let

mb = bullet mass = 0.02 kg

vb = bullet speed  = 300 m/s

mw = mass of the wood block = 1 kg

d = distance covered by the block plus the bullet = 4 m

u = speed of the bullet plus the block

g = gravity = 9.8 m/s2

μk = coefficient of friction, variable unknown

We will use the following expression to calculate the coefficient of friction:

μk = \frac{(\frac{mb*vb}{mb+mw})^{2}  }{2*g*d}

Replacing known values:

μk=\frac{(\frac{(0.02kg)*(300m/s)}{0.02kg+1kg})^{2}  }{2*9.8m/s^{2}*4m }=0.441

The coefficient of friction is a dimensionless value

Hector drew the diagram below to illustrate projectile motion.
Serjik [45]

<u>Answer </u>

He should make the arrow for “Path” curve downward.

<u>Explanation </u>

The force of gravity is usually directly downward. So from the diagram, it is correctly labelled.

If the object was given a horizontal force, the direction of the inertial is also correct. Inertial is the force the resist the change of state of motion.

What Hector should change is the path followed by the object. It will be a curve not a straight line as it is drawn.

The correct answer is He should make the arrow for “Path” curve downward.

A horse and rider are racing to the right with a speed of 21\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}21 s m ​ 21, start fraction, start text, m
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a=-4.2 m/s²

Explanation:

The horse  riding so inital velocity is given finally the rider stops so the final velocity is zero.

initial velocity =Vi= 21 m/s

final velocity =Vf= 0 m/s

distance covered = S=52 m

By using 2nd equation of motion we can find the acceleration

 2aS=Vf² -Vi²

   a=(-441)/104

   a=-4.2 m/s²

So the accceleration is 4.2 m/s².
