Question
What was the initial momentum of the bullet before collision?
Answer:
10 Kg.m/s
Explanation:
Momentum is a product of velocity of an object in m/s and its mass in kgs hence numerically expressed as p=mv where p is momentum, v is velocity and m is mass. Substituting m for 0.2 kg and v for 50 m/s then p=0.2*50=10 kg.m/s
Answer:
h’ = 1/9 h
Explanation:
This exercise must be solved in parts:
* Let's start by finding the speed of sphere B at the lowest point, let's use the concepts of conservation of energy
starting point. Higher
Em₀ = U = m g h
final point. Lower, just before the crash
Em_f = K = ½ m
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
m g h = ½ m v²
v_b =
* Now let's analyze the collision of the two spheres. We form a system formed by the two spheres, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved
initial instant. Just before the crash
p₀ = 2m 0 + m v_b
final instant. Right after the crash
p_f = (2m + m) v
the moment is preserved
p₀ = p_f
m v_b = 3m v
v = v_b / 3
v = ⅓
* finally we analyze the movement after the crash. Let's use the conservation of energy to the system formed by the two spheres stuck together
Starting point. Lower
Em₀ = K = ½ 3m v²
Final point. Higher
Em_f = U = (3m) g h'
Em₀ = Em_f
½ 3m v² = 3m g h’
we substitute
h’=
h’ =
h’ = 1/9 h
Answer:
The time taken is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of steel the wire is
The length of the copper wire is
The diameter of the wire is
The tension is
The time taken by the transverse wave to travel the length of the two wire is mathematically represented as
Where is the time taken to transverse the steel wire which is mathematically represented as
here is the density of steel with a value
So
And
is the time taken to transverse the copper wire which is mathematically represented as
here is the density of steel with a value
So
So
Any change in the speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". You'll hear "deceleration" used for slowing down but that's not technically correct.
