A 30-g bullet is fired with a horizontal velocity of 450 m/s and becomes embedded in block B, which has a mass of 3 kg. After th

e impact, block B slides on 30-kg carrier C until it impacts the end of the carrier. Knowing the impact between B and C is perfectly plastic and the coefficient of kinetic friction between B and C is 0.2, determine (a) the velocity of the bullet and B after the first impact, (b) the final velocity of the carrier.

Answer:

(a) The velocity of the bullet and B after the first impact is 4.4554 m/s.

(b) The velocity of the carrier is 0.40872 m/s.

Explanation:

(a) To solve the question, we  apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows.

we note that the distance between B and C is 0.5 m

Then we  have

Sum of initial momentum = Sum of final momentum

0.03 kg × 450 m/s = (0.03 kg + 3 kg) × v₂

Therefore v₂ = (13.5 kg·m/s)÷(3.03 kg) = 4.4554 m/s

The velocity of the bullet and B after the first impact = 4.4554 m/s

(b) The velocity of the carrier is given as follows

Therefore from the conservation of linear momentum we also have

(m₁ + m₂)×v₂  = (m₁ + m₂ + m₃)×v₃

Where:

m₃ = Mass of the carrier = 30 kg

Therefore

(3.03 kg)×(4.4554 m/s) = (3.03 kg+30 kg) × v₃

v₃ = (13.5 kg·m/s)÷ (33.03 kg) = 0.40872 m/s

The velocity of the carrier = 0.40872 m/s.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

harry is 35 m behind Draco

speed of Draco = 40 m/s

original speed of harry = 50 m/s

acceleration = ?

time taken by the Draco

    t =\dfrac{r}{u} =\dfrac{75}{40}

     t = 1.875 s

distance covered by Harry

  d = 35 + 175 = 210 m

to calculate the acceleration of harry

s = u t+ \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

210 = 50\times 1.875+ \dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.875^2

a × 3.516 × 0.5 = 116.25

a = 66.126 m/s²

hence, the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²
