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.

How would the self-inductance, l, of a coil change if you would increase its radius by a factor of two and increase its length b
pochemuha

The self-inductance of a coil will change by 8 times its original value by increasing its radius value by 2 and increasing the length of the coil by 2.

Self-Inductance: -

The definition of self-inductance is the induction of a voltage in a wire that carries current when the current in the wire is changing. In the instance of self-inductance, the circuit itself induces a voltage through the magnetic field produced by a changing current.

We know that the self-inductance of the coil is denoted by: -

L= µ *π*(r)^2*(N)^2*l

Where

L= Self-Inductance of the coil

µ= Magnetic Permeability Constant

r= Radius of the coil

l= Length of the coil

N= Number of turns of the coil

Here Self-inductance of the coil is directly proportional to the length of the coil and the square of the radius of the coil.

So,

On increasing the radius of the coil by a factor of 2 and the length of the coil by 2 the self-inductance of the coil increases by 8 times its original value.

A man starts walking north at 3 ft/s from a point P. Five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 4 ft/s from a point 500
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

ds/dt = 6.98 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The speed of man due north Vm = 3 ft/s

- The speed of woman due south Vw = 4 ft/s

- Woman starts walking 5 mins later than man

Find:

At what rate are the people moving apart 15 min after the woman starts walking?

Solution:

- The total time for which the man is walking due north from P, is Tm:

                                   Tm = 5 + 15 = 20 mins

- The total distance traveled by man in Tm mins is:

                                   Dm = Tm*Vm

                                   Dm = 20*60*3

                                   Dm = 3,600 ft

- The total time for which the woman is walking due south from 500 ft due east from P, is Tw:

                                   Tw = 15 = 15 mins

- The total distance traveled by man in Tw mins is:

                                   Dw = Tw*Vw

                                   Dw = 15*60*4

                                   Dw = 3,600 ft

- The displacement between man and woman at any instance is (s) which can be related by pythagoras theorem as follows:

                                   s^2 = (dm + dw)^2 + 500^2

Where, dm : Distance travelled by man at any time Tm

            dw : Distance travelled by woman at any time Tw

- Differentiate s with respect to t:

                                   2s*ds/dt = 2*(dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw)

                                   s*ds/dt = (dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw)

                                   ds/dt = [ (dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw) ] / s

- Evaluate the rate of separation of man and woman ds/dt by evaluating at instance Tm = 20 mins and Tw = 15 mins. We have:

                 ds/dt = [ (Dm + Dw)*(Vm + Vw) ] / sqrt ( (Dm + Dw)^2 + 500^2 )

- Plug in the values:

                 ds/dt = [ (3600 + 3600)*(3 + 4) ] / [sqrt ( (3600 + 3600)^2 + 500^2 )]  

                ds/dt = 6.98 ft/s

A quantum well is a region of semiconductor or metal film that confines particles to a small region, resulting in quantized ener
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

226.2 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given \Delta x=510nm=510\times 106{-9}m

The plank's constant h=6.67\times 10^{-34}

Mass of electron m=9.11\times 10^{-31}kg

Now according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle \Delta v\geq \frac{h}{2\pi m\Delta x}

So \Delta v\geq \frac{6.6\times 10^{-34}}{2\times 3.14\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 510\times 10^{-9}}=226.2m/sec
