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

(LC)Light fixtures and placement that create shadows on the set, that obscure or completely hide action in certain areas of the
Sedaia [141]

The correct answer is true.

It is true that light fixtures and placement that create shadows on the set, that obscure or completely hide action in certain areas of the set, or that change as the main character’s emotional state changes are all ways that lighting can be used to heighten the drama and suspense in dramatic films.

Lighting plays an important role in film making because it can create scenes that enhance the de drama of the moment or the right mood that the director wants to share. Lighting in the film is an art because the basic principle is that the scene needs to look natural. From that principle, filmmakers and light specialist cand create many kinds of dramatic or jubilation moments if they know how to apply light principles to each scene.

A 13-kg sled is moving at a speed of 3.0 m/s. At which of the following speeds will the sled have twice as much kinetic energy?
AysviL [449]
K.E. = 1/2 mv²
K.E. is directly proportional to v^2
So, when K.E. increase by 2, K.E. increase by root. 2
v' = 1.41v
original v value was 3 so, final would be:
v' = 1.41*3 = 4.23
After round-off to it's tenth value, it will be:
v' = 4.2

So, option B is your answer!

Hope this helps!
