Answer:
(a) 1.85 m/s
(b) 4.1 m/s
Explanation:
Data
- initial bullet velocity, Vbi = 837 m/s
- wooden block mass, Mw = 820 g
- initial wooden block velocity, Vwi = 0 m/s
- final bullet velocity, Vbf = 467 m/s
(a) From the conservation of momentum:
Mb*Vbi + Mw*Vwi = Mb*Vbf + Mw*Vwf
Mb*(Vbi - Vbf)/Mw = Vwf
4.1*(837 - 467)/820 = Vwf
Vwf = 1.85 m/s
(b) The speed of the center of mass speed is calculated as follows:
V = Mb/(Mb + Mw) * Vbi
V = 4.1/(4.1 + 820) * 837
V = 4.1 m/s
Answer: (a) Smaller charge is
and larger charge is
.
(b) Smaller charge is
and larger charge is
.
Explanation:
(a) When both the spheres have same charge then force is repulsive in nature as like charges tend to repel each other.
Therefore, total charge on the two non-conducting spheres will be calculated as follows.

= 
Therefore, force between the two spheres will be calculated as follows.
F = 
12 N = 

or, 



This means that smaller charge is
and larger charge is
.
(b) When force is attractive in nature then it means both the charges are of opposite sign.
Hence, total charge on the non-conducting sphere is as follows.


Now, force between the two spheres is calculated as follows.
F = 
12 N = 



Hence, smaller charge is
and larger charge is
.
Answer:
20.6 N
Explanation:
Friction equals normal force times coefficient of friction.
F = Fn μ
On level ground, normal force equal weight.
Fn = W
Therefore:
F = W μ
F = (685 N) (0.0300)
F = 20.6 N
Answer:
Centripetal acceleration is defined as the property of the motion of an object, traversing a circular path. Any object that is moving in a circle and has an acceleration vector pointed towards the center of that circle is known as Centripetal acceleration. ... Centripetal means towards the center.
