Answer:

-10837 J

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum states that the initial total momentum is equal to the final total momentum, so:

$p_i = p_f\\m u_b + M u_B = m v_b + M v_B$

where

m = 22.3 g = 0.0223 kg is the mass of the bullet

$u_b = 1000 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the bullet

M = 1 kg is the mass of the block

$u_B = 0$ is the initial velocity of the block

$v_b = 100 m/s$ is the final velocity of the bullet

$v_B$ is the final velocity of the block

Solving for $v_B$ we find

$v_B = \frac{m u_b-m v_b}{M}=\frac{(0.0223 kg)(1000 m/s)-(0.0223 kg)(100 m/s)}{1 kg}=20.1 m/s$

The total kinetic energy before the collision is:

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}mu_b^2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.0223 kg)(1000 m/s)^2=11,150 J$

And the total kinetic energy after the collision is:

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_b^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_B^2=\frac{1}{2}(0.0223 kg)(100 m/s)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(1 kg)(20.1 m/s)^2=313.5 J$

So, the change in kinetic energy is

$\Delta K = 313.5 - 11,150 J = -10,837 J$

When a pendulum is at the midpoint of its oscillation, hanging straight down, which statement is true?

Svetach [21]

When a pendulum is at the midpoint of its oscillation, hanging straight down ...

-- that's the fastest it's going to swing, so its kinetic energy is maximum;
and
-- that's the lowest it's going to get, so its potential energy is minimum.

'c' is your choice.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Consider another special case in which the inclined plane is vertical (θ=π/2). In this case, for what value of m1 would the acceleration of the two blocks be equal to zero

F - Force

T = Tension

m = mass

a = acceleration

g = gravitational force

Let the given Normal on block 2 = N

and $N = m_2 g \cos \theta$

and the tension in the given string is said to be $T = m_2 g \sin \theta$

When the acceleration $a=\frac{F}{m_1}$

for the said block 1.

It will definite be zero only when Force is zero , F=0.

Here by Force, F

I refer net force on block 1.

Now we know

$F = m_1g-T.$

It is known that if the said

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ ,

then Tension $T= m_2g$ $[since \sin(\pi/2) = 1]$ ,

Now making $"F = m_1g - m_2g"$

So If we are to make Force equal to zero

$F=0 => m_1g = m_2g \ or \ m_1 = m_2$

Coherent red light of wavelength λ = 700 nm is incident on two very narrow slits. The light has the same phase at both slits. (a

oksano4ka [1.4K]

(a) 0.028 rad

The angular separation of the nth-maximum from the central maximum in a diffraction from two slits is given by

$d sin \theta = n \lambda$

where

d is the distance between the two slits

$\theta$ is the angular separation

n is the order of the maximum

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

In this problem,

$\lambda=700 nm=7\cdot 10^{-7} m$

$d=0.025 mm=2.5\cdot 10^{-5} m$

The maximum adjacent to the central maximum is the one with n=1, so substituting into the formula we find

$sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda}{d}=\frac{(1)(7\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{2.5\cdot 10^{-5} m}=0.028$

So the angular separation in radians is

$\theta= sin^{-1} (0.028) = 0.028 rad$

(b) 0.028 m

The screen is located 1 m from the slits:

D = 1 m

The distance of the screen from the slits, D, and the separation between the two adjacent maxima on the screen (let's call it y) form a right triangle, so we can write the following relationship:

$\frac{y}{D}=tan \theta$

And so we can find y:

$y=D tan \theta = (1 m) tan (0.028 rad)=0.028 m$

(c) $2.8\cdot 10^{-4} rad$

In this case, we can apply again the formula used in part a), but this time the separation between the slits is

$d=2.5 mm = 0.0025 m$

so we find

$sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda}{d}=\frac{(1)(7\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{0.0025 m}=2.8\cdot 10^{-4}$

And so we find

$\theta= sin^{-1} (2.8\cdot 10^{-4}) = 2.8\cdot 10^{-4} rad$

(d) $7.0\cdot 10^{-6} m = 7.0 \mu m$

This part can be solved exactly as part b), but this time the distance of the screen from the slits is

$D=25 mm=0.025 m$

So we find

$y=D tan \theta = (0.025 m) tan (2.8\cdot 10^{-4} rad)=7.0\cdot 10^{-6} m = 7.0 \mu m$

(e) The maxima will be shifted, but the separation would remain the same

In this situation, the waves emitted by one of the slits are shifted by $\pi$ (which corresponds to half a cycle, so half wavelength) with respect to the waves emitted by the other slit.

This means that the points where previously there was constructive interference (the maxima on the screen) will now be points of destructive interference (dark fringes); on the contrary, the points where there was destructive interference before (dark fringes) will now be points of maxima (bright fringes). Therefore, all the maxima will be shifted.

However, the separation between two adjacent maxima will not change. In fact, tall the maxima will change location exactly by the same amount; therefore, their relative distance will remain the same.

A block weighing 15 newtons is pulled to the top of an incline that is 0.20 meter above the ground, as shown below. if 4.0 joule

Annette [7]

Total work done here against two forces

1. Work done against gravity

2. work done against friction

Here work done against gravity is given by

$W_g = mgH$

here we know that weight of the block will be

$Weight = mg = 15 N$

$H = 0.20 m$

$W_g = 15(0.20) = 3J$

now we will say

$W_{total} = W_{friction} + W_g$

as we know that total work

$W_{total} = 4J$

$4 = 3 + W_{friction}$

$W_{friction} = 4 - 3 = 1J$

so work done against friction is 1 J
