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

Calculate the initial speed of a box which slides on a horizontal floor surface and comes to rest after sliding 2 s. The coeffic
NARA [144]

A box sliding on a horizontal floor surface starts out moving at 4.9 m/s and stops after 2 seconds. The surface and the box have a kinetic friction has friction coefficient of 0.25 (g=9.8 ms-2).

The speed of an object at the start of a measurement, or an initial state, is known as the initial speed. The ratio of distance travelled to travel time, also known as the average speed, is the sum of the initial and final speeds. The difference between initial and ending speeds is the speed change. A force that acts between moving surfaces is referred to as kinetic friction. A force acting in opposition to the direction of a moving body on the surface is felt.

Interval (t) equals 2 seconds

Kinetic friction coefficient is 0.25.

gravity-induced acceleration (g) = 9.8 m/s2.

Coming to a stop at a final velocity  of 0 m/s.

Regular force  equals mg

Kinetic friction force is given by  = k.

N = μkmg

I = (delta P) (delta P)

Vo = (0.25)(9.8)(2) (2)

Vo = 4.9m/s

A book that weighs 20 N sits on a table. How big and in what direction does the force of gravity from the Earth act on the book?
taurus [48]

Answer:

A. 20 N down

Explanation:

It's asking how much force of gravity is acting on it. The book weighs 20 Newtons so that's how much gravity is being applied. Hope this helps

If two point sources of light are being imaged by this telescope, what is the maximum wavelength λ at which the two can be resol
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The maximum wavelength is 492 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular separation \theta=3.0\times10^{-5}\ rad

Suppose a telescope with a small circular aperture of diameter 2.0 cm.

We need to calculate the maximum wavelength

Using formula of angular separation

\sin\theta=\dfrac{1.22\lambda}{d}

\lambda=\dfrac{d\sin\theta}{1.22}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{2.0\times\sin(3\times10^{-5})}{1.22}

For small angle \sin\theta\approx\theta

\lambda=\dfrac{0.02\times3\times10^{-5}}{1.22}

\lambda=4.92\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=492\ nm

Hence, The maximum wavelength is 492 nm.

MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE- <br> Please help, I will give brainliest to best answer.
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

1.) Waves carry energy through empty space or through a medium without transporting matter. While all waves can transmit energy through a medium, certain waves can also transmit energy through empty space. ... When waves travel through a medium, the particles of the medium are not carried along with the wave.

2.) Mechanical Waves are waves which propagate through a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) at a wave speed which depends on the elastic and inertial properties of that medium. There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves. Longitudinal waves vibrating in the direction of propagation while Transverse waves vibrate at right angles to the direction of its propagation.

3.) They can carry a little energy or a lot of energy. They can be transverse or longitudinal. However, all waves have common properties—amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and speed. Amplitude describes how far the medium in a wave moves.

I hope this helps!
