My attempt: Relative velocity, v = s/t = 20/0.02 = 1000 m/s Velocity of each bullet, u=v/2 =500 m/s Now we have to find loss in energy, We know, Q=mcΔT =(20/1000)(500)(50) = 500 J per bullet Total energy loss= 2(500) = 1000 J Now, I know that in the next step, we have to somehow correlate...

Everything has the speed it's moving at , at the time it's measured . Light always leaves its Source at the speed called "c" . That doesn't mean its Relative speed is always "c" for all observers .

I cannot seem to find them, and I am confused as to what they are. I am trying to simulate a bullet in flight and need to calculate air resistance. I'd like to be accurate to real life and use a lookup table but I can't seem to find a graph of the drag coefficients that has an accompanying...

First off, I do know how to solve this problem. We use the principle of conservation of angular momentum about the centre of mass of the system which comprises of the loop and the bullet to obtain option B. My doubt is, why do we just not use the principle about the centre of the loop? Where is...

$$ \frac{5E-3*v^2}{2} = (2 + 5E-3)(10)(0.2)(2) $$ v = 56.64 I just don't get how this is the wrong answer....it's just simple conservation of energy, right?

For this problem, The solution is, However, dose anybody please know why the graphs for ##V_1## and ##V_2## are discontinuous where they cross the time axis? Many thanks!

Gun with a tachyon bullet paradox if you had a device akin to some kind of ‘gun’, which created tachyons and the fired them, perhaps in a beam or some kind of ‘packet’, when they go faster than the speed of light would go back in time. Lets say the ‘bullet’ or beam, went out into the universe...

My 15 y/o daughter is in driver's ed. Her teacher passed on some information as fact that seems more like an urban legend. He told the class that an inexperienced driver got into a bad car wreck, and the sudden loss of speed caused her belly button ring to penetrate her entire midsection like...

Is the bullet cluster evidence for or against dark matter? I understand the explanation that it is evidence in favor of the existence of dark matter, and it convinces me. However, some argue that it is evidence against its existence? Why?

How to find the collision number if the moving bullet hits a few wooden blocks and every collision takes 10 percent of its speed. In which block will the bullet stay?

My apologies if the prefix is too high of complexity. I don't know where this would fall, difficulty or academically speaking. While it may be surprising to some given Hollywood's portrayal of it in movies, if a person in wearing hard bulletproof armor is struck by a projectile, the person is...

I can understand that using conservation of momentum, we can find v. But we need V for that. The equation for V involves h and so we need h. But I am not able to comprehend the equation involving l,h and a. The question doesn't specify what a is. Please be kind to help

Here is my working in case it helps :)Ignore the v = 0.6/0.0001 = 6000m/s

a) a= dv/dt = 2(5*10^5)t+2.8*10^5 2(5*10^5)(0)+2.8*10^5=2.8*10^5m/s^2

A bullet with mass m, velocity v perfectly elastically, vertically collide with one end of a rod on a slippery plane and the bullet stops moving after the collision. Find the mass of the stick M the bullet stops moving after an elastic collision, so all energy is transformed to the rod. There...

The Bullet Cluster counts as 'smoking gun' for the dark matter. But what lacks in these calculations is the super massive black holes at the center of almost every galaxy. As the most massive and most compact objects in the collision, it's expected that they are less slowed down by the collision...

(a) ##u_{min}=\big(1+\frac{m_2}{m_1}\big)\sqrt{2\mu_k g d}## (b) ##x_f=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}\Big(\big(\frac{m_1}{m_1+m_2}u\big)^2-2\mu_k g d\Big)}## Can someone check please?

Hi, I was reading this article, https://science.howstuffworks.com/question456.htm, about firing a bullet from the back of train which is moving as fast as the bullet. The following is taken from the article mentioned above. So, ideally, the bullet will fall straight to the ground as it exits...

I'm confused by which forces should be equal to each other and what I solve for. How should I approach this problem?

:)

Summary:: What is the temperature change of a bullet upon impact. I have this problem to solve but I'm kinda stuck, would apricate any feedback. We fire a silver bullet with a muzzle speed of 200 ms−1 into a sack of sand. What is the temperature change of the bullet, if 40 % of its kinetic...

A 7.80 g bullet is initially moving at 500 m/s just before it penetrates a block of solid rubber to a depth of 4.50 cm. (a)What is the magnitude of the average frictional force (in N) that is exerted on the bullet while it is moving through the block of solid rubber? Use work and energy...

Hi, I was given this exercice where I have to calculate the penetration distance, knowing that m = 20g, v = 300km/h and C = 750 N and I have to give the results with two significant numbers. I really thought that all I had to do was replace the values so I did : d = (20.10^-3) x (300/3,6)^2 /...

1) Applying conservation of linear momentum: $$m.u = M.V + m.v$$ where ##V## is final linear speed of the rod $$V=\frac{m.u-m.v}{M}$$2) Applying formula of circular motion: $$V=\omega . r$$ $$\omega = \frac{\left(\frac{mu-mv}{M} \right)}{\frac{1}{2}L-x}$$ Is this correct?And can this be...

I think that the kinetic energy is equal to heat right. Mv^2 / 2 = ms delta T Delta T is 0,64 But I don’t really know if the temperature decreases or increases at the end

A gun is fired vertically into a block of wood(unknown mass) at rest directly above it. If the bullet has a mass of 24.0g and a speed of 310 m/s, how high will the block rise into the air after the bullet becomes embedded in it?

I first calculated the velocity v: √2.8^2+6.3^2= 6.8942 then i used it as the final velocity, so final velocity=6.8942 and the initial velocity=0 acceleration=9.8 Then i substituted them into this equation: final velocity=initial velocity + accelerationxtime then time=0.703489843 hence i...

The Bullet Cluster is referenced as 1E0657-56; but sometimes references quote 1E0657-558. Are they both referring to the same Bullet Cluster?

Change in KE = Change in thermal energy 0.5 * (6)* vblock^2 = 0.4 * 6 * 9.81* 0.1 vblock = 0.885 By Conservation of Momentum, (0.05)(854) = (0.05)*vbu + (6)(0.885)I am not sure whether Change in KE = Change in thermal energy is true coz there should be a change in internal energy of the block...

I don't know how to link the x-component and y-component together.

As ##P=ccte## we can find final velocity considering a plastic collision ##m_0 . v_0 =(2m+m_0).V## But what about the angular velocity? Because, as the bullet hits the centre of mass of the string, it won't have angular velocity

I first plugged my given values into m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2)vf. (0.002)(600)+(5)(0)=((0.0020)+(5))vf vf=0.24 m/s Next, I plugged my given values into F=ma. ((0.002)+(5))(9.8) F=49.02 N Next, I plugged my given values into Fdeltat=mdeltav. deltat=mdeltav/F ((0.002)+(5))(0.24)/(49.02)...

My initial thought was to use the conservation of energy law since there're no external forces acting on the system bullet + rod. The rod is in rest, the bullet is moving. Then after the collision, the bullet and the rod are rotating around the pivot together, so the kinetic energy of the bullet...

If I had two bullets one moving 0.000001 c and the other moving at .9 c for example, and they both went thru a tin foil square target, assuming they are traveling in vacuum, and that the tin foil square target will make a perfect aperture around the radius of the passing bullet, assuming the...

used a) change in momentum / time, time from from kinematics equation d = vi+vf/2 *t ... 0.1 = 300*t =3.33*10^-4 then 600/0.00333 = 1.8*10 ^5 how to proceed?

Here are my workings, and I was wondering if I'm correct so far. Let ##m## be mass of bullet and ##M## be mass of plate. COM: ##mu_{bullet} = (m+M)v## ##\frac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2=(m+M)gh +\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2## where I is the inertia, so using parallel axis theorem, ##I = \frac{1}{12}bh^3 + md^2 =...

I have calculated KE_i and KE_f, took the difference between the initial and final kinetic energy of the bullet to be equal to the work spent to overcome the friction, and divided it by the distance traveled, but arrive at around 20000N. The solution should be 9.5*10^7. Not sure what else to...

Hey everyone I'm struggling on the last part of this assignment. I need to find the total work done by the block and the bullet, when the collision happens. The informations is: mblock=0.3 kg mbullet=0.01 kg vg=700 m/s Height=0.72m The final speed after the collision is vf=22.6 m/s and the...

So, Basic premise is I have 1 input and one output, Energy friom the gunpower burning is input, and the output is the force which pushes the bullet after it is reduced by the friction. m = 12.96 g s = 0.6985 m (barrel lenght) E = 6734 J k = 0.5 (friction coeffcient) I am sorry for lack of...

This is task from my textbook and it does not provide us with an answer. So I cannot verify if I did mistake. Can someone double check, please? My solution: ##E_{k_{0}} = \frac{(m+M)v_{0}^2}{2} \quad \land \quad U = \frac{kx^2}{2}## ##E_{k_{0}} = U## ##\Longrightarrow (m+M)v_{0}^2 = kx^2##...

Problem: A and B decide to duel but, being poor, they have just one gun (a six-shot revolver) and only one bullet. Being dumb, as well, this does not deter them and they agree to "duel" as follows: They will insert the lone bullet into the gun's cylinder, A will then spin the cylinder and shoot...

Okay so the first thing I did was was find the height of the apex. I found this by finding the x and y components of Vo: Vox = VoCos(θ) = 22cos(59) = 11.33 m/s Voy = VoSin(θ) = 22sin(59) = 18.86 m/s Using the initial velocity of the y component I found the time it took to reach the apex: t =...

Solving using Linear Momentum: M vb2/2 = M g 2L vb = 2√(g L) m v = m v/2 + M (2√(g L) ) v = 4 M √(g L) / m Note: I see from the answers - that this is correct. -------------- Next, I tried to solve it via Energy conservation point of view. M vb2/2 = M g 2L vb = 2√(g L) m v2/2 = m v2/8 + k...

I tried getting to the solution by the principle of conservation of energy. What goes in, must go out. If the final velocity, ie. the final kinetic energy is lower than what we started with, that energy difference must've been used to overcome the friction that lasted over some distance L...
