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

Jane has a mass of 55 kg and his body covers 700 nails with a surface area of 1.00 mm,
Oksana_A [137]

We have,

  • Jane mass is 55 kg
  • His body covered with 700 nails all of them having a surface area of 1.00 mm² each = 700 × 1 = 700 mm² = 700/1000000 = 7/10000

We know that,

  • Pressure = Force/Area

Let's calculate force as we already have area;

  • F = ma
  • F = 55 × 9.8 { Acceleration due to gravity }
  • F = 539 N

Now, if should she would be on 700 nails then pressure will be;

  • P = F/A
  • P = 539/7 × 10000
  • P = 5390000/7
  • P = 770,000 Pascal

And if should would be on a 1 nail only,

  • P = F/A
  • P = 539/1 × 1000000
  • P = 539000000 Pascal

Please help. I don’t understand this
skad [1K]

The short answer is that the displacement is equal tothe area under the curve in the velocity-time graph. The region under the curve in the first 4.0 s is a triangle with height 10.0 m/s and length 4.0 s, so its area - and hence the displacement - is

1/2 • (10.0 m/s) • (4.0 s) = 20.00 m

Another way to derive this: since velocity is linear over the first 4.0 s, that means acceleration is constant. Recall that average velocity is defined as

<em>v</em> (ave) = ∆<em>x</em> / ∆<em>t</em>

and under constant acceleration,

<em>v</em> (ave) = (<em>v</em> (final) + <em>v</em> (initial)) / 2

According to the plot, with ∆<em>t</em> = 4.0 s, we have <em>v</em> (initial) = 0 and <em>v</em> (final) = 10.0 m/s, so

∆<em>x</em> / (4.0 s) = (10.0 m/s) / 2

∆<em>x</em> = ((4.0 s) • (10.0 m/s)) / 2

∆<em>x</em> = 20.00 m
