A 23 g bullet traveling at 230 m/s penetrates a 2.0 kg block of wood and emerges cleanly at 170 m/s. If the block is stationary

on a surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.15 when hit, how far does it move after the bullet emerges?

The distance traveled by the wood after the bullet emerges is 0.16 m.

The given parameters;

  • <em>mass of the bullet, m = 23 g = 0.023 g</em>
  • <em>speed of the bullet, u = 230 m/s</em>
  • <em>mass of the wood, m = 2 kg</em>
  • <em>final speed of the bullet, v = 170 m/s</em>
  • <em>coefficient of friction, μ = 0.15</em>

The final velocity of the wood after the bullet hits is calculated as follows;

m_1u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2\\\\0.023(230) + 2(0) = 0.023(170) + 2v_2\\\\5.29 = 3.91 + 2v_2\\\\2v_2 = 1.38\\\\v_2 = \frac{1.38}{2} = 0.69 \ m/s

The acceleration of the wood is calculated as follows;

\mu = \frac{a}{g} \\\\a = \mu g\\\\a = 0.15 \times 9.8\\\\a = 1.47 \ m/s^2

The distance traveled by the wood after the bullet emerges is calculated as follows;

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2as\\\\v^2 = 0 + 2as\\\\v^2 = 2as\\\\s = \frac{v^2}{2a} \\\\s = \frac{(0.69)^2}{2(1.47)} \\\\s = 0.16 \ m

Thus, the distance traveled by the wood after the bullet emerges is 0.16 m.

By moving a 20 nC charge from point A to point B, you determine that the electric potential at B is 100 V . Part A What would be
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Potential at B would be 100V

Explanation:

The electric potential is defined as the work done to bring a unit positive charge from infinity to some point in the field.

We always determine the potential with respect to some reference point. Let the potential at A be zero. If the potential at B is V, then work done to bring charge q from A to B = qV

which is the electric potential energy.

If instead we use some charge Q, the electric potential <em>energy</em> will be QV, but the electric potential will always be V.

If a mass of 76 kg acts downward 0.38 m from the axis of rotation on one end of a board and another force of 129 N also acts dow
Semenov [28]

Answer:

y = 2.196 m

Explanation:

Mass, m = 76 kg

distance from axis of rotation, x = 0.38 m

Second Force, F = 129 N

moment arm of the second force, y = ?

Now, equating moments for the equilibrium

So,

m g × x = F x y

76 x 0.38 x 9.81 = 129 x y

y = \dfrac{76\times 0.38\times 9.81}{129}

y = 2.196 m

Hence, the length of the moment arm is equal to 2.196 m.
