Question

In Fig, a bullet with mass im 10 g is moving directly upward at V 800 m/s strikes and passes through the center of mass of aM 508 block that is initially at rest. The bullet emerges from the block moving directly upward at 400m/s 10g ? Bullet a) What is the upward velocity V of the block after the collision? (A) 0.8 m/s (B) 0.4 m/s (C) 1.2 m/s To what maximum height, h, does the block then rise above its initial position? A) 0.05 m B) 0.04 m (C) 0.03 m What is the impulse J on the block? m/s (B) 4 kg m/s (C) 6 kg m/s D 2 kq m/s

Explanation / Answer

here,

mass of bullet , m = 10 g = 0.01 kg

mass of block , M = 5 kg

intial speed of bullet , u1 = 800 m/s

final speed of bullet , v1 = 400 m/s

a)

let the final speed of block after the collison be v

using conservation of momentum

m * u1 = m * v1 + M * v

0.01 * 800 = 0.01 * 400 + 5 * v

v = 0.8 m/s

the upward velocity is (a) 0.8 m/s

b)

the maximum height , hm = v^2 /2g

hm = 0.8^2 /( 2 * 9.81) m

hm = 0.03 m

the maximum height is C) 0.03 m

c)

the impulse on the block , J = M * ( v - u)

J = 5 * 0.8 = 4 kg.m/s

the impulse on the block is (B) 4 kg.m/s
