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.

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

Is it possible for the momentum of a system consisting of two carts on a low-friction track to be zero even if both carts are mo
choli [55]

Answer:

Yes, if the two carts are moving into opposite directions

Explanation:

The total momentum of the system of two carts is given by:

p=m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2

where

m1, m2 are the masses of the two carts

v1, v2 are the velocities of the two carts

Let's remind that v (the velocity) is a vector, so its sign depends on the direction in which the cart is moving.

We want to know if it is possible that the total momentum of the system can be zero, so it must be:

p=0\\m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 = 0\\m_1 v_1 = -m_2 v_2

From this equation, we see that this condition can only occur if v1 and v2 have opposite signs. Opposite signs mean opposite directions: therefore, the total momentum can be zero if the two carts are moving into opposite directions.
