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

A balloon having an initial temperature of 17.8°C is heated so that the volume doubles while the pressure is kept fixed. What i
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

T = 308.6 ^0 C

Explanation:

Here by ideal gas equation we can say

PV = nRT

now we know that pressure is kept constant here

so we will have

V = \frac{nR}{P} T

since we know that number of moles and pressure is constant here

so we have

\frac{V_2}{V_1} = \frac{T_2}{T_1}

now we know that initial temperature is 17.8 degree C

and finally volume is doubled

So we have

\frac{2V}{V} = \frac{T_2}{(273 + 17.8)}

so final temperature will be

T_2 = 581.6 k

T_2 = 308.6 ^o C

A pilot took 1/2 hour to complete 1/3 of his trip. How much longer will it take him to complete his trip?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: The answer is 1.5 hours.


Step-by-step explanation: Given that the pilot took 1/2 hour to complete 1/3rd of his trip. We are to calculate the time that he will take to complete his trip.

Time taken by the pilot to complete 1/3 rd of his trip = 1/2

Therefore, time taken by the pilot to complete his trip is given by

t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3=1.5.

Thus, the pilot will take 1.5 hours to complete his trip.

A wave is a disturbance that propagates, or moves from the place it was created. The simplest waves repeat themselves for several cycles and are associated with simple harmonic motion. Let us start by considering the simplified water wave in Figure 2. The wave is an up and down disturbance of the water surface. It causes a sea gull to move up and down in simple harmonic motion as the wave crests and troughs (peaks and valleys) pass under the bird. The time for one complete up and down motion is the wave’s period T. The wave’s frequency is

f

=

1

T

f

=

T

, as usual. The wave itself moves to the right in Figure 2. This movement of the wave is actually the disturbance moving to the right, not the water itself (or the bird would move to the right). We define wave velocity vw to be the speed at which the disturbance moves. Wave velocity is sometimes also called the propagation velocity or propagation speed, because the disturbance propagates from one location to another.
