Abullet, m = 0.500 kg, traveling with some initial velocity strikes and embeds itself in the bob of a ballistic pendulum, m = 9.50 kg. a) the combined masses rise to a height h = 1.28 m. the speed vf of the combined masses immediately following impact is

5 m/s

Explanation:

mass of bullet, m = 0.5 kg

initial velocity of bullet is u.

mass of pendulum, M = 9.50 kg

height raised, h = 1.28 m

The kinetic energy of the bullet and pendulum system is equal to the potential energy of the system

Let vf be the final velocity after the impact

KE = PE

1/2 (M + m) Vf^2 = (M + m) x g x h

vf^2 = 2 x 9.8 x 1.28 = 25.088

vf = 5 m/s

Thus, the final speed of the combined mass system after the impact s 5 m/s.  

it should be -8.6 cm hope this out

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
