Assume: The bullet penetrates into the block and stops due to its friction with the block. The compound system of the block plus the bullet rises to a height of 10 cm along a circular arc with a 18 cm radius. Assume: The entire track is frictionless. A bullet with a m1 = 30 g mass is fired horizontally into a block of wood with m2 =
4.8 kg mass.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.
Calculate the total energy of the composite system at any time after the collision. Answer in units of J.
Taking the same parameter values as those in Part 1, determine the initial velocity of the bullet. Answer in units of m/s.

1)4.7334J

2)225.4m/s

Explanation:

v= the Velocity of both the bullet and the block after collision=?

H= Height of the bullet along circular arc= 10cm=0.1m

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.81m/s^2

R= Radius of the circular arc= 18cm= 0.18m

m= Mass of the bullet= 30g= 0.03kg

M= Mass of the block = 4.8 kg

Using the law of conservation of energy

Potential energy of the system= Kinectic energy of the system

1/2 mv^2= mgheqn(1)

But we have two mass m and M

We can write eqn(1) as

0.5(m+M)v^2= (m+M)gh eqn(2)

If we make "v" subject of the formula we have

v = √2gh

Then substitute the values we have

= √2 x 9.81 x 0.1 = 1.40m/s

1) We can now calculate the total energy of the system after collision as

KE = 1/2(m+M)v^2

= 1/2 x (0.03+4.8) x (1.40)^2

KE = 4.7334J

Hence, the total energy of the composite system at any time after the collision is 4.7334J

2)to determine the initial velocity of the bullet.

From law of momentum conservation, which can be expressed as

m1u1+m2u2=(m1+m2)v

Where the initial Velocity of the bullet u1= ?

Final velocity of the bullet = 0

the Velocity of both the bullet and the block after collision=v= 1.40m/s

(0.03×u1) +(u×0)= (4.8+0.03)1.4

0.03u1=6.762

U1=225.4m/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the bullet is 225.4m/s

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !

the force represented by vector a is normal force. if the hockey puck is moving to the right, when it is hit with a significant force by the hockey stick the puck will move off in a different direction. correct on edge.
