A bullet with a mass mb=13.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity vb=245 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass mw of the wooden block.
Momentum is conserved, so the sum of the momenta of the bullet and block before collision is equal to the momentum of the combined bullet-block system,
[tex]m_bv_b+m_wv_w = (m_b+m_w)v[/tex]
where v is the speed of the bullet-block system. The block starts at rest so it has no initial momentum, and solving for v gives
[tex]v = \dfrac{m_b}{m_b+m_w} v_b[/tex]
The total work W performed by the spring on the bullet-block system as it is compressed a distance x is
[tex]W = -\dfrac12kx^2[/tex]
where k is the spring constant, and the work done is negative because the restoring force of the spring opposes the bullet-block as it compresses the spring.
By the work-energy theorem, the total work done is equal to the change in the bullet-block's kinetic energy ∆K, so we have
[tex]W_{\rm total} = W = \Delta K[/tex]
The bullet-block starts moving with velocity v found earlier and comes to a stop as the spring slows it down, so we have
[tex]-\dfrac12kx^2 = -\dfrac12(m_b+m_w)v^2 \implies kx^2 = \dfrac{{m_b}^2}{m_b+m_w}{v_b}^2[/tex]
Solve for [tex]m_w[/tex]:
[tex]m_w=\dfrac1k\left(\dfrac{m_bv_b}x\right)^2-m_b[/tex]
[tex]m_w=\dfrac1{205\frac{\rm N}{\rm m}}\left(\dfrac{(0.0135\,\mathrm{kg})\left(245\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)}{0.350\,\rm m}\right)^2-0.0135\,\mathrm{kg}\approx \boxed{0.422\,\mathrm{kg}}[/tex]
Un muelle se alarga 20 cm cuando ejercemos sobre él una fuerza de 24 N. Calcula:El valor de la constante elástica del muelle
Answer:
120 Nm-1
Explanation:
Según la ley de Hooke;
F = Ke
F = fuerza sobre el resorte
K = constante de fuerza
e = extensión
Por eso;
K = F / e
K = 24N / 20 × 10 ^ -2m
K = 120 Nm-1

Two forces whose resultant is 100N are at right angle to eachother. if one of them makes an angle of 30° with the resultant, determine its magnitude
Let F₁ and F₂ denote the two forces, and R the resultant force.
F₁ and F₂ point perpendicularly to one another, so their dot product is
F₁ • F₂ = 0
We're given that one of these vectors, say F₁, makes an angle with R of 30°, so that
F₁ • R = ||F₁|| ||R|| cos(30°)
But we also have
F₁ • R = F₁ • (F₁ + F₂) = (F₁ • F₁) + (F₁ • F₂) = F₁ • F₁ = ||F₁||²
So, knowing that ||R|| = 100 N, we get that
(100 N) ||F₁|| cos(30°) = ||F₁||²
(100 N) cos(30°) = ||F₁||
||F₁|| ≈ 86.6 N
(And the same would be true for F₂.)
why is it important to have regular super vision of the weights and the measurements in the market?
Answer:
Obeying to weights & measurement regulations in both national and international metrology legislation, standards and test procedures is a requirement to participate in any market because it's aimed to safeguard the consumers and promote fair competition, which provides efficiency and saves unnecessary costs to U.S. businesses and stakeholders.
Explanation:
In the U.S., the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has an Office of Weights and Measures (OWM) that represents the country in the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML)

Rearrange this equation so it equals d
v=dt
Answer:
Below
Explanation:
To solve for d rearrange the formula v = (d)(t) to:
d = v / t
I'm not to sure if you are using different variables but usually in physics the formula for velocity is v = d / t not v = dt
If you wanted to solve for displacement you would do:
d = (v)(t)

The plane of a5cm*8cm rectangular loop of wire is parallel to a 0.19T magnetic field the loop carries a current of 6.2 A. What torque acts on aloop? What is the magnetic moment of the loop?
Answer:
Torque; τ = 4.712 × 10^(-3) J
Magnetic moment; M = 0.0248 J/T
Explanation:
Torque is gotten from the formula;
τ = BIA
Where;
B is magnetic field
I is current
A is area
We are given;
B = 0.19T
I = 6.2A
Rectangle dimensions = 5cm by 8cm = 0.05m by 0.08m
Thus;
Area; A = 0.05m × 0.08m = 0.004 m²
Thus;
τ = 0.19 × 6.2 × 0.004
τ = 4.712 × 10^(-3) J
Formula for the magnetic moment is given by;
M = IA
M = 6.2 × 0.004
M = 0.0248 J/T
20. A semiconductor is a
A) crystalline solid that conducts current under any condition
B) metallic solid that conducts current under any condition
C) metallic solid that conducts current under certain conditions
D) crystalline solid that conducts current under certain conditions
Answer:
D) crystalline solid that conducts current under certain conditions
Explanation:
A semiconductor is any crystalline solid material whose electrical conductivity is intermediary between that of insulators and conductors. That is, a semiconductor does not conduct like a conductor but does more than an insulator.
Based on this, a semiconductor is said to only conduct electricity under certain conditions as opposed to conductors that do so under any condition. Example of semiconductors are silicon, carbon, antimony, arsenic etc.

What kind of circuit is the one shown below?
A. Series
B. Parallel
C. Open
D. Combination
That's a parallel circuit. (B)
When current from Point-A reaches the 3-way intersection just to the right of Point-B, it has to make a choice: Either turn left, go through B, and light the lower bulb, or go straight and light the upper bulb.
A circuit that has any "decision" points in it is a parallel circuit. What happens in the real world is: The current splits up. Some of the current that reaches the intersection turns left toward Point-B, and the rest of it goes straight up.
A series circuit is one in which there's only one possible path all the way around. There are no intersections of more than 2 roads, and no electron ever has to decide which way to flow.
An open circuit is one in which there's a break somewhere along the line and electrons can't jump across it. It's like a railroad where a big piece is cut out of the track somewhere. So no trains can travel on that route, and there's no current flowing anywhere in the circuit.
I'm not so sure about a "combination" circuit. I guess you could give that name to a complicated circuit that has some series parts and some parallel-parts. Personally, I'd call that a "series-parallel" circuit. But it really doesn't matter right now. Whatever the word means, the circuit in the picture is definitely not a "combination" circuit.
Answer:
B. Parallel Circuits
Explanation:
A parallel circuit is constructed by connecting the terminals of all the individual load devices so that the same value of voltage appears across each component. In a parallel circuit, charge divides up into separate branches such that there can be more current in one branch than there is in another.

Explanation:
Answer the following questions 1 What is the difference between mass and weight of an object. Will the mass and weight of an object on the earth be same as their values on Mars ? Why?
Answer:
difference between mass and weight is that mass is amount of matter in a material while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass.the mass of an object will be same on earth and mars but its weight on both planets will be different.
the slope of a line on a position vs time graph is the
a. velocity
b. time
c. distance
d. displacement
It's the velocity, but only the magnitude. It can't show the direction of the velocity. So it's better to call it speed.
