A 30-g bullet traveling horizontally at 300 m/s strikes a 1.0-kg block which is attached to a horizontal spring with a force con

stant of 2000 N/m and rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The spring is on the far side of the block and aligned with the direction of travel of the bullet. The bullet becomes embedded in the block and, as a result of the impact, and the block slides against the spring. How far is the spring compressed before it reverses its direction of travel

Answer:

Explanation:

Using law of conservation of momentum during collision , velocity after collision can be found .

common velocity V = m v / ( m + M )

= .030 x 300 / ( .030 + 1 )

V= 8.7378 m /s

The kinetic energy of the bullet and block will be stored as elastic energy

1/2 ( M + m ) V² = 1/2 k A² where k is force constant and A is maximum compression in the spring .

( M + m ) V² =  k A²

1.030 x 8.7378² = 2000 x A²

A² = .0393

A= .1982 m .

= 19.82 cm

A pair of toy freight cars, one twice the mass of the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Acc
saul85 [17]

Answer:

greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass

Explanation:

Since both the toys are connected by same spring so the force due to spring on both the toys will be same and it is given as

F = kx

now we know by Newton's II law

F = ma

so here we have

a = \frac{F}{m}

here we have same force on both the blocks

so acceleration will be more if mass is less

so greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass

Be sure to answer all parts. Assume the diameter of a neutral helium atom is 1.40 × 102 pm. Suppose that we could line up helium
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter D = 1.40\times10^{2}\ pm

D=1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}\ m

Distance = 2.60 cm

We calculate the number of atoms

Using formula of numbers of atoms

Number\ of\ atoms =\dfrac{2.60\times10^{-2}}{1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}}

Number\of\atoms =1.86\times10^{8}

Hence, The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.
