A 4.67-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +357 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (s

ee part a of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part b. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the bullet. The mass of the first block is 1177 g, and its velocity is +0.681 m/s after the bullet passes through it. The mass of the second block is 1626 g.
(a) What is the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself?
(b) Find the ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision.

Answer:

(a)0.531m/s

(b)0.00169

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of bullet, m=4.67 g=4.67\times 10^{-3} kg

1 kg =1000 g

Speed of bullet, v=357m/s

Mass of block 1,m_1=1177g=1.177kg

Mass of block 2,m_2=1626 g=1.626 kg

Velocity of block 1,v_1=0.681m/s

(a)

Let velocity of the second block  after the bullet imbeds itself=v2

Using conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum

mv=m_1v_1+(m+m_2)v_2

4.67\times 10^{-3}\times 357+1.177(0)+1.626(0)=1.177\times 0.681+(4.67\times 10^{-3}+1.626)v_2

1.66719=0.801537+1.63067v_2

1.66719-0.801537=1.63067v_2

0.865653=1.63067v_2

v_2=\frac{0.865653}{1.63067}

v_2=0.531m/s

Hence, the  velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=0.531m/s

(b)Initial kinetic energy before collision

K_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

k_i=\frac{1}{2}(4.67\times 10^{-3}\times (357)^2)

k_i=297.59 J

Final kinetic energy after collision

K_f=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_1+\frac{1}{2}(m+m_2)v^2_2

K_f=\frac{1}{2}(1.177)(0.681)^2+\frac{1}{2}(4.67\times 10^{-3}+1.626)(0.531)^2

K_f=0.5028 J

Now, he ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision

=\frac{k_f}{k_i}=\frac{0.5028}{297.59}

=0.00169

Is the star with the longest total lifetime Also the farthest from earth? Explain.
Stels [109]
E) No. Ollie will shine for 30 Billion years but is only 10,000 LY from Earth.
F) No. Cosmo will shine for 3 Million years but is 10 Billion LY from Earth.
G) Yes. Ollie is only 10.000 LY away but will shine for 30 Billion years.
Ga) No. Stars such as Cosmo shine for 3 Million years.
Gb) If Cosmo was also 3 Million LY away we would see it now.

Sarah and Maisie are analysing data from their school sports day. Looking at the 1500 m results for Stephen, Maisie believes tha
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Sarah is right

Explanation:

This is an exercise that differentiates between scalars and vectors.

A scalar is a number, instead a vector is a number that represents the module in addition to direction and sense.

In this case, the distance (scalar) traveled is a number, which is why it is worth 1500m, but the displacement is a vector and since the point where it leaves is the same point where the vector's modulus arrives is zero, so the DISPLACEMENT VECTOR is zero

consequently Sarah is right

A wave travels at 295 m/s and has a wavelength of 2.50 m. What is the frequency of the wave?
posledela

Answer:

118\; \rm Hz.

Explanation:

The frequency f of a wave is equal to the number of wave cycles that go through a point on its path in unit time (where "unit time" is typically equal to one second.)

The wave in this question travels at a speed of v= 295\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}. In other words, the wave would have traveled 295\; \rm m in each second. Consider a point on the path of this wave. If a peak was initially at that point, in one second that peak would be

How many wave cycles can fit into that 295\; \rm m? The wavelength of this wave\lambda = 2.50\; \rm m gives the length of one wave cycle. Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{295\;\rm m}{2.50\; \rm m} = 118.

That is: there are 118 wave cycles in 295\; \rm m of this wave.

On the other hand, Because that 295\; \rm m of this wave goes through that point in each second, that 118 wave cycles will go through that point in the same amount of time. Hence, the frequency of this wave would be

Because one wave cycle per second is equivalent to one Hertz, the frequency of this wave can be written as:

f = 118\; \rm s^{-1} = 118\; \rm Hz.

The calculations above can be expressed with the formula:

\displaystyle f = \frac{v}{\lambda},

where

  • v represents the speed of this wave, and
  • \lambda represents the wavelength of this wave.
