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 ball is dropped from a window and takes two seconds to reach the ground .it starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 20m/
Akimi4 [234]
The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)

List the 3 types of collisions that occur when your vehicle hits an object.
koban [17]

These collisions are: "a Vehicle Collision, a Human Collision, Internal Collision." A vehicle collision is a collision that involves two or more vehicles and is when the vehicles collide against each other creating a unbalanced force since how the force comes from opposite directions. A human collision would involve a vehicle and a human which would also be a unbalanced force but the human wouldn't have much affect of it's speed. A internal collision is when something happens inside the vehicle which decreases, or increases the vehicles speed.

Hope this helps!
