Assume: The bullet penetrates into the block and stops due to its friction with the block. The compound system of the block plus

the bullet rises to a height of 10 cm along a circular arc with a 18 cm radius.
Assume: The entire track is frictionless. A bullet with a m1 = 30 g mass is fired horizontally into a block of wood with m2 =
4.8 kg mass.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.
Calculate the total energy of the composite system at any time after the collision. Answer in units of J.
Taking the same parameter values as those in Part 1, determine the initial velocity of the bullet. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

1)4.7334J

2)225.4m/s

Explanation:

v= the Velocity of both the bullet and the block after collision=?

H= Height of the bullet along circular arc= 10cm=0.1m

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.81m/s^2

R= Radius of the circular arc= 18cm= 0.18m

m= Mass of the bullet= 30g= 0.03kg

M= Mass of the block = 4.8 kg

Using the law of conservation of energy

Potential energy of the system= Kinectic energy of the system

1/2 mv^2= mgh..............eqn(1)

But we have two mass m and M

We can write eqn(1) as

0.5(m+M)v^2= (m+M)gh ...........eqn(2)

If we make "v" subject of the formula we have

v = √2gh

Then substitute the values we have

= √2 x 9.81 x 0.1 = 1.40m/s

1) We can now calculate the total energy of the system after collision as

KE = 1/2(m+M)v^2

= 1/2 x (0.03+4.8) x (1.40)^2

KE = 4.7334J

Hence, the total energy of the composite system at any time after the collision is 4.7334J

2)to determine the initial velocity of the bullet.

From law of momentum conservation, which can be expressed as

m1u1+m2u2=(m1+m2)v

Where the initial Velocity of the bullet u1= ?

Final velocity of the bullet = 0

the Velocity of both the bullet and the block after collision=v= 1.40m/s

(0.03×u1) +(u×0)= (4.8+0.03)1.4

0.03u1=6.762

U1=225.4m/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the bullet is 225.4m/s

Help with these three
Elenna [48]
The first: alright, first: you draw the person in the elevator, then draw a red arrow, pointing downwards, beginning from his center of mass. This arrow is representing the gravitational force, Fg.
You can always calculate this right away, if you know his mass, by multiplying his weight in kg by the gravitational constant
g = 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }
let's do it for this case:
f_{g}  = m \times g \\ f _{g}  = 65kg \times 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }  = 637.65
the unit of your fg will be in Newton [N]
so, first step solved, Fg is 637.65N
Fg is a field force by the way, and at the same time, the elevator is pushing up on him with 637.65N, so you draw another arrow pointing upwards, ending at the tip of the downwards arrow.
now let's calculate the force of the elevator
f = m \times a \\ f = 65 \times 5 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }  \\ f = 325n
so you draw another arrow which is pointing downwards on him, because the elevator is accelating him upwards, making him heavier
the elevator force in this case is a contact force, because it only comes to existence while the two are touching, while Fg is the same everywhere

Why is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge an ideal place for SWARM to collect electrical conductivity data?
ElenaW [278]

Answer: Mid-ocean ridges are geologically important because they occur along the kind of plate boundary where new ocean floor is created as the plates spread apart. Thus the mid-ocean ridge is also known as a "spreading center" or a "divergent plate boundary." The plates spread apart at rates of 1 cm to 20 cm per year.
