A ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of projectiles. It consists of a block of wood that hangs from a stri

ng. When the projectile hits the block, it causes the block to move upwards. In most devices, we measure the angle that the rope moves. In this device, we will measure the height that rises to. The mass of the block of wood is 2.50-kg and the mass of the bullet is 0.0100-kg. The block swings to a maximum height of 0.650 m above the initial position. Find the initial speed of the bullet.

Answer:

u = 875 m/s

Explanation:

Let's ASSUME the bullet stays inside the block which is initially at rest.

Conservation of Energy after the collision

½(m + M)v² = (m + M)gh

v = √(2gh)

Conservation of momentum during the collision

m(u) + M(0) = (m + M)v

u = (m + M)v/m = (1 + M/m)√(2gh)

u = (1 + 2.50/0.0100)√(2(9.81)(0.650) = 875.425...

Question 23

If the gymnast mass were doubled, her height (h) from the top of the board would be as follows,

с  Stay the same

Explanation:

  • The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
  • Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
  • Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
  • The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are  force and mass.
  • Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.

Is there any change in the pressure of container filled with water when the volumed is increased
marshall27 [118]
Not really the volume of a container is simply length X width X depth so just how big the container unless the water is pressurized by some sort of weight or if the containers air pressure is lowered

Is the alien theory a scientific claim? Why or why not?
spin [16.1K]
I'm not sure what the alien Theory says or if there really is such a theory. If the theory says that aliens definitely exist and that they have visited Earth in the past then the theory is totally and completely without any kind of support. It's not scientific in any way because there is no evidence for such a claim. It may be thought to be probable but no solid evidence has ever been presented.
