A bullet with mass m = 5.21 g is moving horizontally with a speed v = 443 m/s when it strikes a block of hardened steel with mas

s M = 14.8 kg (initially at rest). The bullet bounces off the block in a perfectly elastic collision. (a) What is the speed (m/s) of the block immediately after the collision?

Answer:

0.312 m/s

Explanation:

Elastic collisions conserve momentum and kinetic energy

The velocity of the center of mass will not change. It continues at

0.00521(443) / 14.80521 = 0.155893... ≈ 0.156 m/s

To conserve kinetic energy we can think of the center of mass (CoM) as an ideal spring returning to each mass that strikes it an identical speed of collision in the opposite direction.

The CoM sees the target approach at - 0.156 and will see it depart at 0.156 m/s

A ground based observer sees the target depart at the velocity of the CoM plus the relative velocity .

v = 0.156 + 0.156  = 0.312 m/s

A spring has a spring constant of 20 N/m. How much potential energy is stored in the spring as it stretched 0.20 m
makkiz [27]
The elastic potential energy (Ep) is given by Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2

Data: 
Ep = ? (Joule)
k = 20 N/m
x (displacement) = 0.20 m

Solving:
Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2
Ep = \frac{1}{2}*20*0.20^2
Ep =  \frac{20*0.04}{2}
Ep =  \frac{0.8}{2}
\boxed{\boxed{Ep = 0.4\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Mariana [72]

Answer:

6 gallons

Explanation:

At 30 mph, the fuel mileage is 25 mpg.

After 5 hours, the distance traveled is:

30 mi/hr × 5 hr = 150 mi

The amount of gas used is:

150 mi × (1 gal / 25 mi) = 6 gal
