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)

Sergio039 [100]
The answer to the blank above is 20. The speed limit given provided that you cannot see the tracks for 400 ft in both directions is always 20 mph. Basically, this 20 mph is decided based upon the traffic laws in order to avoid road casualties. Since it is "uncontrolled railroad crossing", the minimum speed should be implemented to slow down for the purpose of traffic calming measures. Other than this, the 20 mph is also applicable in narrowing roads as well as speed humps.

In a car crash, large accelerations of the head can lead to severe injuries or even death. A driver can probably survive an acce
noname [10]

Answer:

14.7 m/s

Explanation:

a = acceleration experienced by driver's head = 50 g = 50 x 9.8 m/s² = 490 m/s²

v₀ = initial speed of the driver = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the driver after 30 ms

t = time interval for which the acceleration is experienced = 30 ms = 0.030 s

Using the equation

v = v₀ + a t

Inserting the values

v = 0 + (490) (0.030)

v = 14.7 m/s

A machine is currently set to a feed rate of 5.921 inches per minute (IPM). Te machinist changes this setting to 6.088 IPM. By h
lukranit [14]

Answer:

By 16.7% or 0.167 IPM

Explanation:

Substracting the final IPM (6.088) to the initial IPM (5.921) gives us the net difference, which is how much did it increase in IPM. Multiplying this number by 100 gives us the percentual increase in the feed rate.

Charge q1 is distance r from a positive point charge Q. Charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2r from Q. What is the ratio U1/U2 of their p
worty [1.4K]

We have that The ratio U1/U2 of their potential energies due to their interactions with Q is

  • U1/U2=6
  • U1/U2=6

From the question we are told that

Question 1

Charge q1 is distance r from a positive point charge Q.

Question 2

Charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2r from Q.

Charge q1 is distance s from the negative plate of a parallel-plate capacitor.

Charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2s from the negative plate.

Generally the equation for the potential energy  is mathematically given as

U=\frac{-k*qQ}{r}

Therefore

The Equations of U1 and U2 is

For U1

U1=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{r}

For U2

U2=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{3*2r}

Since

U is a function of q and  q2=q1/3

Therefore

U1/U2=6

For Question 2

For U1

U1=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{s}\\\\For U2\\\\U2=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{3*2r}

Therefore

U1/U2=6
