g A 24-gg bullet strikes and becomes embedded in a 1.50-kgkg block of wood placed on a horizontal surface just in front of the g

un. Part A If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.23, and the impact drives the block a distance of 9.5 mm before it comes to rest, what was the muzzle speed of the bullet

The muzzle speed of the bullet before the collision is 415.3 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the bullet, m₁ = 24 g</em>
  • <em>Mass of the wood, m₂ = 1.5 kg</em>
  • <em>Coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.23</em>
  • <em>Distance traveled by the block before stopping, d = 9.5 m</em>

Apply the principle of work-energy theorem to determine the final velocity of the block-bullet system;

F_f \times d = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\\mu_k F_n \times d = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\\mu_ k (m_1 + m_2)g \times d = \frac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2)v^2\\\\\mu_k g \times d= \frac{1}{2} v^2\\\\2\mu _k gd = v^2\\\\v= \sqrt{2\mu _k gd } \\\\v = \sqrt{2 \times 0.23 \times 9.8 \times 9.5} \\\\v = 6.54 \ m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the muzzle speed of the bullet;

m_1 u_1 \ + \ m_2u_2 = v(m_1 + m_2)\\\\0.024(u_1) \ + \ 1.5(0) = 6.54(0.024 + 1.5)\\\\0.024u_1 = 9.967\\\\u_1 = \frac{9.967}{0.024} \\\\u_1 = 415.3 \ m/s

Thus, the muzzle speed of the bullet before the collision is 415.3 m/s.

Answer:

My scenario would be A Car vs. a guard rail on a road.  You have a car that is coming down a Highway at a speed of 43 Mph Miles per hour (69.2018 Kmh)

And it hits a steel guardrail and the car smashes in at the front and the guardrail is only bent while the car has the bumper and the hood along with the headlights and windshield along with the passenger side window break.

Explanation:

This is caused by so much force reacting from one object to another but also depends on molecular density.

OleMash [197]

Answer:

the answer is B.

Explanation:

The claim is correct because Student Y can apply a force that is greater in magnitude than the frictional forces that are exerted on the student-student-skateboard system
