To determine the muzzle velocity of a bullet fired from a rifle, you shoot the 2.47-g bullet into a 2.43-kg wooden block. The bl

ock is suspended by wires from the ceiling and is initially at rest. After the bullet is embedded in the block, the block swings up to a maximum height of 0.295 cm above its initial position. What is the velocity of the bullet on leaving the gun's barrel

Answer:

The velocity of the bullet on leaving the gun's barrel is 236.36 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet, m₁ = 2.47 g = 0.00247 kg

mass of the wooden block, m₂ = 2.43 kg

initial velocity of the wooden block, u₂ = 0

height reached by the bullet-block system after collision = 0.295 cm = 0.00295 m

let the initial velocity of the bullet on leaving the gun's barrel = v₁

let final velocity of the bullet-wooden block system after collision = v₂

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂u₂ = v₂(m₁ + m₂)

0.00247v₁  + 2.43 x 0  =  v₂(2.43 + 0.00247)

0.00247v₁ = 2.4325v₂ -------(1)

The kinetic energy of the bullet-block system after collision;

K.E = ¹/₂(m₁ + m₂)v₂²

K.E = ¹/₂ (2.4325)v₂²

The potential energy of the bullet-block system after collision;

P.E = mgh

P.E = (2.4325)(9.8)(0.00295)

P.E = 0.07032

Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy;

K.E = P.E

¹/₂ (2.4325)v₂² = 0.07032

1.21625 v₂²  = 0.07032

v₂²  = 0.07032  / 1.21625

v₂² = 0.0578

v₂ = √0.0578

v₂ = 0.24 m/s

Substitute v₂ in equation (1), to obtain the initial velocity of the bullet;

0.00247v₁ = 2.4325v₂

0.00247v₁ = 2.4325 (0.24)

0.00247v₁ = 0.5838

v₁ = 0.5838 / 0.00247

v₁ = 236.36 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the bullet on leaving the gun's barrel is 236.36 m/s.

Gala2k [10]
The complete question in the attached figure
Let
c ------------------- > is the speed of light
v ------------------- > is the speed in medium
n ------------------- > is the refractive index of medium
we know that
c/v = n
n = (3 x 10^8)/(2.04 x 10^8) = 1.47

1.47 is the refractive index of glycerol.
therefore

the answer is (4) glycerol

A series L-R-C circuit consists of a 226 Ω resistor, a 27.4 mH inductor, a 11.55 µF capacitor, and an AC source of amplitude 15
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: 363 Ω.

Explanation:

In a series AC circuit excited by a sinusoidal voltage source, the magnitude of the impedance is found to be as follows:

Z = √((R^2 )+〖(XL-XC)〗^2) (1)

In order to find the values for the inductive and capacitive reactances, as they depend on the frequency, we need first to find the voltage source frequency.

We are told that it has been set to 5.6 times the resonance frequency.

At resonance, the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal each other in magnitude, so from this relationship, we can find out the resonance frequency fo as follows:

fo  = 1/2π√LC = 286 Hz

So, we find f to be as follows:

f = 1,600 Hz

Replacing in the value of XL and Xc in (1), we can find the magnitude of the impedance Z at this frequency, as follows:

Z = 363 Ω
