A bullet with a mass mb=13.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity vb=245 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass mw of the wooden block.

Answers

Answer 1

Momentum is conserved, so the sum of the momenta of the bullet and block before collision is equal to the momentum of the combined bullet-block system,

[tex]m_bv_b+m_wv_w = (m_b+m_w)v[/tex]

where v is the speed of the bullet-block system. The block starts at rest so it has no initial momentum, and solving for v gives

[tex]v = \dfrac{m_b}{m_b+m_w} v_b[/tex]

The total work W performed by the spring on the bullet-block system as it is compressed a distance x is

[tex]W = -\dfrac12kx^2[/tex]

where k is the spring constant, and the work done is negative because the restoring force of the spring opposes the bullet-block as it compresses the spring.

By the work-energy theorem, the total work done is equal to the change in the bullet-block's kinetic energy ∆K, so we have

[tex]W_{\rm total} = W = \Delta K[/tex]

The bullet-block starts moving with velocity v found earlier and comes to a stop as the spring slows it down, so we have

[tex]-\dfrac12kx^2 = -\dfrac12(m_b+m_w)v^2 \implies kx^2 = \dfrac{{m_b}^2}{m_b+m_w}{v_b}^2[/tex]

Solve for [tex]m_w[/tex]:

[tex]m_w=\dfrac1k\left(\dfrac{m_bv_b}x\right)^2-m_b[/tex]

[tex]m_w=\dfrac1{205\frac{\rm N}{\rm m}}\left(\dfrac{(0.0135\,\mathrm{kg})\left(245\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)}{0.350\,\rm m}\right)^2-0.0135\,\mathrm{kg}\approx \boxed{0.422\,\mathrm{kg}}[/tex]

What kind of circuit is the one shown below?
A. Series
B. Parallel
C. Open
D. Combination

Answers

That's a parallel circuit. (B)

When current from Point-A reaches the 3-way intersection just to the right of Point-B, it has to make a choice:  Either turn left, go through B, and light the lower bulb, or go straight and light the upper bulb.

A circuit that has any "decision" points in it is a parallel circuit.  What happens in the real world is:  The current splits up.  Some of the current that reaches the intersection turns left toward Point-B, and the rest of it goes straight up.

A series circuit is one in which there's only one possible path all the way around.  There are no intersections of more than 2 roads, and no electron ever has to decide which way to flow.

An open circuit is one in which there's a break somewhere along the line and electrons can't jump across it.  It's like a railroad where a big piece is cut out of the track somewhere.  So no trains can travel on that route, and there's no current flowing anywhere in the circuit.

I'm not so sure about a "combination" circuit.  I guess you could give that name to a complicated circuit that has some series parts and some parallel-parts.  Personally, I'd call that a "series-parallel" circuit.  But it really doesn't matter right now.  Whatever the word means, the circuit in the picture is definitely not a "combination" circuit.

Answer:

B. Parallel Circuits

Explanation:

A parallel circuit is constructed by connecting the terminals of all the individual load devices so that the same value of voltage appears across each component. In a parallel circuit, charge divides up into separate branches such that there can be more current in one branch than there is in another.

Two forces whose resultant is 100N are at right angle to eachother. if one of them makes an angle of 30° with the resultant, determine its magnitude​

Answers

Let F₁ and F₂ denote the two forces, and R the resultant force.

F₁ and F₂ point perpendicularly to one another, so their dot product is

F₁ F₂ = 0

We're given that one of these vectors, say F₁, makes an angle with R of 30°, so that

F₁ • R = ||F₁|| ||R|| cos(30°)

But we also have

F₁ • R = F₁ • (F₁ + F₂) = (F₁ F₁) + (F₁ F₂) = F₁ F₁ = ||F₁||²

So, knowing that ||R|| = 100 N, we get that

(100 N) ||F₁|| cos(30°) = ||F₁||²

(100 N) cos(30°) = ||F₁||

||F₁|| ≈ 86.6 N

(And the same would be true for F₂.)

a. Sí, si hay una fuerza siempre.
b. Sí, ya que el movimiento es sólo relativo.
c. No, ya que un sistema que no se mueve no tiene energía.
d. No, porque la ecuación de trabajo lo define.

Answers

Answer:

d. No, porque la ecuación de trabajo lo define.

Explanation:

En Física, el trabajo realizado se puede definir como la cantidad de energía transferida cuando un objeto o cuerpo se mueve a lo largo de una distancia debido a la acción de una fuerza externa.

Matemáticamente, el trabajo realizado viene dado por la fórmula;

[tex] W = F * d [/tex]

Dónde;

W es el trabajo realizado.F representa la fuerza que actúa sobre un cuerpo. d representa la distancia recorrida por el cuerpo.

Por lo tanto, podemos deducir de la definición de trabajo y su fórmula que el trabajo se realiza cuando un objeto (cuerpo) se mueve una distancia o experimenta cualquier forma de desplazamiento mientras transfiere energía.

A ball is dropped from the roof of a 25-m-tall building. What is the velocity of the object when it touches the ground? Suppose the ball is a perfect golf ball and it bounces such that the ve locity as it leaves the ground has the same magnitude but the op posite direction as the velocity with which it reached the ground How high will the ball bounce? Now suppose instead that the ball bounces back to a height of 20 m. What was the velocity with which it left the ground?

Answers

Answer:

a)  [tex]h=25m[/tex]

b)  [tex]v=19.8m/sec[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height [tex]h=25m[/tex]

Bounce Height [tex]h'=20m[/tex]

Generally the Kinematic equation is mathematically given by

[tex]V=\sqrt{2gh}\\\\V=\sqrt{2*9.81*25}[/tex]

[tex]V=22.1m/sec[/tex]

Therefore Height

[tex]h=\frac{V^2}{2g}\\\\h=\frac{22.1^2}{2*9.81}[/tex]

[tex]h=25m[/tex]

b)

Generally the Kinematic equation is mathematically given by

[tex]v^2=2ah[/tex]

[tex]v^2=2*9.8*20[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{2*9.8*20}[/tex]

[tex]v=19.8m/sec[/tex]

B) metallic solid that conducts current under any condition
C) metallic solid that conducts current under certain conditions
D) crystalline solid that conducts current under certain conditions

Answers

Answer:

D) crystalline solid that conducts current under certain conditions

Explanation:

A semiconductor is any crystalline solid material whose electrical conductivity is intermediary between that of insulators and conductors. That is, a semiconductor does not conduct like a conductor but does more than an insulator.

Based on this, a semiconductor is said to only conduct electricity under certain conditions as opposed to conductors that do so under any condition. Example of semiconductors are silicon, carbon, antimony, arsenic etc.
