A small block of wood of inertia mb is released from rest a distance h above the ground, directly above your head. you decide to

shoot it with your pellet gun, which fires a pellet of inertia mp. after the block has fallen a distance d, the pellet hits it and becomes embedded in it, kicking it upward. at the instant of impact, the pellet is moving at speed vp.

Since I'm assuming that its perfectly elastic, considering there's not enough information given, so I think that no energy is dissipated in the collision


hmax = h - d + { [ mpvp - mb√(2gd) ] / (mp+mb) }² / (2g)

Answer:

a) v₃ = 19.54 km, b)  70.2º north-west

Explanation:

This is a vector exercise, the best way to solve it is finding the components of each vector and doing the addition

vector 1 moves 26 km northeast

let's use trigonometry to find its components

         cos 45 = x₁ / V₁

         sin 45 = y₁ / V₁

         x₁ = v₁ cos 45

         y₁ = v₁ sin 45

         x₁ = 26 cos 45

         y₁ = 26 sin 45

         x₁ = 18.38 km

         y₁ = 18.38 km

Vector 2 moves 45 km north

        y₂ = 45 km

Unknown 3 vector

          x3 =?

          y3 =?

Vector Resulting 70 km north of the starting point

           R_y = 70 km

we make the sum on each axis

X axis

      Rₓ = x₁ + x₃

       x₃ = Rₓ -x₁

       x₃ = 0 - 18.38

       x₃ = -18.38 km

Y Axis

      R_y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

       y₃ = R_y - y₁ -y₂

       y₃ = 70 -18.38 - 45

       y₃ = 6.62 km

the vector of the third leg of the journey is

         v₃ = (-18.38 i ^ +6.62 j^ ) km

let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length

         v₃ = √ (18.38² + 6.62²)

         v₃ = 19.54 km

to find the angle let's use trigonometry

           tan θ = y₃ / x₃

           θ = tan⁻¹ (y₃ / x₃)

           θ = tan⁻¹ (6.62 / (- 18.38))

           θ = -19.8º

with respect to the x axis, if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x axis it is

          θ’= 180 -19.8

          θ’= 160.19º

I mean the address is

          θ’’ = 90-19.8

          θ = 70.2º

70.2º north-west

How much energy is needed to change the speed of a 1600 kg sport utility vehicle from 15.0 m/s to 40.0 m/s?
podryga [215]

Answer:

Energy needed = 1100 kJ

Explanation:

Energy needed = Change in kinetic energy

Initial velocity = 15 m/s

Mass, m = 1600 kg

\texttt{Initial kinetic energy = }\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.5\times 1600\times 15^2=180000J

Final velocity = 40 m/s

\texttt{Final kinetic energy = }\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.5\times 1600\times 40^2=1280000J

Energy needed = Change in kinetic energy = 1280000-180000 = 1100000J

Energy needed = 1100 kJ

Which letter correctly identifies the part of the hydrologic cycle that is most directly affected by impervious building materia
masha68 [24]

Infiltration

Explanation:

The component of the hydrologic cycle affected by impervious building such as concrete and asphalt is infiltration.

  • Water infiltration is a major component of the hydrologic cycle.
  • Concretes and other materials can prevent water from going down into the earth.
  • This affects the ground water system in place.
  • It leads to increase in surface run off and might cause inundation of an area.
  • Infiltration is a very important component of water cycle.
  • It takes water to plant root and recharges groundwater systems.
  • Impervious structures takes this capability away.

A gas has an initial volume of 168 cm3 at a temperature of 255 K and a pressure of 1.6 atm. The pressure of the gas decreases to
erastovalidia [21]
Would presume you are asked to find the volume, since there is no second volume.

By General Gas Law:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

1.6 * 168 /255 = 1.3*V₂/285

V₂ = 1.6 * 168 * 285 / (1.3*255)

V₂ = 231.095

Final volume ≈ 231 cm³
