A 9.00 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 1.20 kg wooden block resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic fr

iction between block and surface is 0.20. The bullet remains embedded in the block, which is observed to slide 0.390 m along the surface before stopping.
Required:
What was the initial speed of the bullet?

Zinaida [17]2 years ago

Answer:

The initial speed of bullet is "164 m/s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

mass of bullet,

m'=9.00 \ g

or,

    =0.009 \ kg

mass of wooden block,

m=1.20 \ kg

speed,

s=0.390 \ m

Coefficient of kinetic friction,

\mu=0.20

As we know,

The Kinematic equation is:

⇒  v^2=u^2+2as

then,

Initial velocity will be:

⇒  u=v^2-2as

        =v^2-2 \mu gs

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒  u=\sqrt{0-2\times 0.20\times 9.8\times 0.390}

       =\sqrt{-1.5288}

       =1.23 \ m/s

As we know,

The conservation of momentum is:

⇒  mu=m'u'

or,

⇒ Initial speed, u'=\frac{mu}{m'}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒                            =\frac{1.20\times 1.23}{0.009}

⇒                            =\frac{1.476}{0.009}

⇒                            =164 \ m/s

A circuit contains two light bulbs connected in parallel. What would happen to the brightness of each light bulb if two more lig
laila [671]

Answer;

C. The brightness of each bulb would remain the same even though the total resistance of the circuit would decrease.

Explanation;

-If light bulbs are connected in parallel to a voltage source, the brightness of the individual bulbs remains more-or-less constant as more and more bulbs are added to the circuit.

-The current increases as more bulbs are added to the circuit and the overall resistance decreases. In addition, if one bulb is removed from the circuit the other bulbs do not go out. Each bulb is independently linked to the voltage source

niobium metal becomes a superconductor when cooled below 9 k. its superconductivity is destroyed when the surface magnetic field
Furkat [3]

Niobium wire with a 2.60 mm diameter has a maximum current capacity of 500 A while still remaining superconducting.

<h3>Describe the present.</h3>

Current is the rate at which charge passes from one point on a circuit to another. In a circuit, a significant current flows when several coulombs or charge pass over the cross section of a wire. When the charge carriers are firmly packed inside the wire, high currents can be generated at low speeds.

<h3>What do current and electron actually mean?</h3>

Electron movement is referred to as electron current. The positive terminal receives electrons that are released by the negative terminal. Traditional current, usually referred to as just current, exhibits behavior consistent with positive charge carriers being the source of current flow. Regular current is received at the positive end and then flows to a negative terminal.

The highest point of a wave is called the
Kipish [7]
The highest point of a wave is called the crest. Among the choices, the correct answer is C. The height of the wave can be determined using the crest and the trough. The trough is the lowest point of a wave. The wavelength is the distance between two crests of a wave.
