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

Calculate the Force required to give a bullet of mass 50 g an acceleration of 300 m/s2
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 15 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>Force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question

mass = 50 g = 0.05 kg

acceleration = 300 m/s²

We have

force = 0.05 × 300

We have the final answer as

<h3>15 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the acceleration of a 10kg pushed by a 5n force
Semenov [28]
Force equals mass times acceleration. Or:
F=ma
Plug it in:
5=10a
5/10=(10a)/10
.5m/s²=a

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

∧·······∵·······∴·······Hello :D········∴·······∵·······∧

How is Mass or volume change affect density?: Density is an intensive property of the material or substance and depends upon the relationship between the mass and volume. Unless the mass changes in relation to the volume, the density will not change.

Are mass and volume related?: Mass and volume are two units used to measure objects. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, while volume is how much space it takes up.We can say that the volume of the object is directly proportional to its mass. As the volume increases the mass of the object increases in direct proportion.

How can density of an object be determined?: If the mass of an object increases then its density increases because density is directly proportional to mass.
