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...

Which change will always result in an increase in the gravitational force between 2 objects
Nat2105 [25]
<span>Reducing the distance between them. In theory, also increasing the mass; but you can't really change the mass of an object. However, you can compare the forces if you replace an object by a different object, which has a different mass.

Imagine you are on the top of a mountain with four basketballs. The mass of the four basketballs are 100 kilograms, 200 kilogram
pentagon [3]

Answer:

400 kilogram

Explanation:

Force exerted is directly proportional to the mass of an object.

F=ma where m is mass and a is acceleration. Taking uniform acceleration on all objects then the larger the mass the higher the force and vice versa. Theredore, among the masses given, 400 kilograms is the largest hence it exerts the largest force at the bottom
