A 4.50-g bullet, traveling horizontally with a velocity of magnitude 400 m/s, is fired into a wooden block with mass 0.650 kg ,

initially at rest on a level surface. The bullet passes through the block and emerges with its speed reduced to 190 m/s. The block slides a distance of 72.0 cm along the surface from its initial position.
a. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface?
b. What is the decrease in kinetic energy of the bullet?
c. What is the kinetic energy of the block at the instant after the bullet passes through it?

Answer:

a)  μ = 0.1957 , b) ΔK = 158.8 J , c)    K = 0.683 J

Explanation:

We must solve this problem in parts, one for the collision and the other with the conservation of energy

Let's find the speed of the wood block after the crash

Initial moment. Before the crash

            p₀ = m v₁₀ + M v₂₀

Final moment. Right after the crash

           pf = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

           

The system is made up of the block and the bullet, so the moment is preserved

           p₀ = pf

          m v₁₀ = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

          v_{2f} = m (v₁₀ - v_{1f}) / M

          v_{2f} = 4.5 10-3 (400 - 190) /0.65

          v_{2f} = 1.45 m / s

Now we can use the energy work theorem for the wood block

Starting point

                Em₀ = K = ½ m v2f2

Final point

                Emf = 0

                W = ΔEm

               - fr x = 0 - ½ m v₂₂2f2

The friction force is

               fr = μN

     

With Newton's second law

               N- W = 0

               N = Mg

We substitute

               -μ Mg x = - ½ M v2f2

                μ = ½ v2f2 / gx

Let's calculate

            μ = ½ 1.41 2 / 9.8 0.72

            μ = 0.1957

b) let's look for the initial and final kinetic energy

           K₀ = 1/2 m v₁²

           K₀ = ½ 4.50 10⁻³ 400²

           K₀ = 2.40 10²  J

           Kf = ½ 4.50 10⁻³ 190²

           Kf = 8.12 10¹  J

Energy reduction is

              K₀ - Kf = 2.40 10²- 8.12 10¹

              ΔK = 158.8 J

c) kinetic energy

              K = ½ M v²

              K = ½ 0.650 1.45²

              K = 0.683 J

Heptane and water do not mix, and heptane has a lower density (0.684 g/mL) than water (1.00 g/mL). A graduated cylinder contains
lakkis [162]

Given that the density of heptane is

d_h=\frac{0.684g}{mL}

The mass of heptane is

m_h=31\text{ g}

The density of water is

d_w=\frac{1g}{mL}

The mass of water is

m_w=37\text{ g}

The volume of heptane will be

\begin{gathered} V_h=\frac{m_h}{d_h} \\ =\frac{31}{0.684} \\ =45.32\text{ mL} \end{gathered}

The volume of water will be

\begin{gathered} V_w=\frac{m_w}{d_w} \\ =\frac{37}{1} \\ =37\text{ mL} \end{gathered}

Thus, the volume of heptane is 45.32 mL and the volume of water is 37 mL.

The total volume of liquid in the cylinder will be

\begin{gathered} V=V_h+V_w \\ =45.32+37 \\ =82.32\text{ mL} \end{gathered}

The total volume of liquid in the cylinder will be 82.32 mL.

How fast can a 4000 kg truck travel around a 70 m radius turn without skidding if its tires share a 0.6 friction coefficient wit
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Velocity of truck will be 20.287 m /sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the truck m = 4000 kg

Radius of the turn r = 70 m

Coefficient of friction \mu =0.6

Centripetal force is given  F=\frac{mv^2}{r}

And frictional force is equal to F_{frictional}=\mu mg

For body to be move these two forces must be equal

So \frac{mv^2}{r}=\mu mg

v=\sqrt{\mu rg}=\sqrt{0.6\times 70\times 9.8}=20.287m/sec

A 100-g toy car is propelled by a compressed spring that starts it moving. the car follows a curved track. what is the final spe
wel

Answer:

0.687 m/s

Explanation:

Initial energy = final energy

1/2 mu² = mgh + 1/2 mv²

1/2 u² = gh + 1/2 v²

Given u = 2.00 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s², and h = 0.180 m:

1/2 (2.00 m/s)² = (9.8 m/s²) (0.180 m) + 1/2 v²

v = 0.687 m/s

A 5 kg ball is sitting on the floor without moving. What is the momentum of the ball?
natita [175]

Answer:

The ball has no momentum

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the ball = 5 kg

The velocity of the ball = 0 (The ball is sitting on the floor without moving)

The momentum of the ball = The mass of the ball × Velocity of the ball

Therefore, the momentum of the ball = 5 kg × 0 m/s = 0

The momentum of the ball is zero, the ball has no momentum.
