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

ollegr [7]
The correct option is D.
Resonance is a phenomenon in which a vibrating system or an external force induces another system to vibrate at greater amplitude at particular frequencies. 
When a tuning fork is struck with another object, the tuning fork will start to vibrate as a result of the force that is exerted by the object used to struck it. This type of vibration, without direct excitation by a man is an example of resonance.

A mercury thermometer has a glass bulb of interior volume 0.100 cm3 at 10°c. the glass capillary 10) tube above the bulb has an
Nadya [2.5K]
Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³

The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.

Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is 
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³

The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
   = (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
   = 4.5 cm

Answer: 4.5 cm

A person drives 20 miles north and 45 miles east. What is the angle of the resultant straight to their destination?
Alex787 [66]
Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.

   tanθ = y / x

Substituting,

   tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44

The value of θ is 23.96°.
