Bullet collision question
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...- imas_

Stopping a rod moving with constant omega
Friction before force is applied, f=μmg. After force is applied on element dx, at a distance x from hinge, the is a bending moment on that element dM which is given by normals on either side (say N1, N2) by dM=N1-N2 and N1+N2=mg+F.- SampleLow

Determine the velocity of a package dropped from a satellite
Momentum before ejection P_b: P_b= (M+m)*v_M=8*500=4000, since the package is still on the satellite and isn't moving. Momentum after ejection P_a: according to the law of conservation of momentum P_b=P_a, and this gives me: 4000=450*8 + v_m*50 => (4000 - 3600)/50 = v_m = 8 km/s But according...- madsb2
