An 8 g bullet is fired into a 319 g block that
is initially at rest at the edge of a frictionless
table of height 1.1 m. The bullet remains in
the block, and after impact the block lands
1.7 m from the bottom of the table. Find the initial speed of the bullet. The
acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s ^2
.
Answer in units of m/s.
A 4.15 g bullet is fired vertically into a 1.98 kg
block of wood.
The bullet gets stuck in the block, and the
impact lifts the block 0.074 m up. (That is,
the block — with the bullet stuck in it — rises
0.074 m up above its initial position, and then
falls back down.)
Given g = 9.8 m/s ^2
. What was the initial
velocity of the bullet?
Answer in units of m/s
A rocket is fired vertically upward. At the
instant it reaches an altitude of 2720 m and a
speed of 296 m/s, it explodes into three equal
fragments. One fragment continues to move
upward with a speed of 250 m/s following the
explosion. The second fragment has a speed
of 476 m/s and is moving east right after the
explosion.
What is the magnitude of the velocity of
the third fragment?
Answer in units of m/s.

An m = 8 g bullet is fired into a M = 319 g block that is initially at rest at the edge of a frictionless table of height h = 1.1 m. The bullet remains in the block, and after impact the block lands d = 1.7 m from the bottom of the table. Find the initial speed of the bullet. The acceleration due to gravity g is 9.8 m/s ^2
landing time t = √ 2h/g = √ 2.2/9.8 = 0.474 sec
block speed Vb = d/t = 1.7/0.474 = 3.59 m/sec
conservation of momentum shall apply :
bullet speed V = Vb*(M+m) / m = 3.59*327/8 = 147 m/sec
A m = 4.15 g bullet is fired vertically into a M = 1.98 kg block of wood. The bullet gets stuck in the block, and the impact lifts the block h = 0.074 m up. (i.e. the block M with the bullet m stuck in it rises 0.074 m up above its initial position, and then falls back down). Given g = 9.8 m/s ^2 , which was the initial velocity V of the bullet?
h = 0.074 = Vb^2/2g
block initial speed Vb = √ 0.074*19.6 = 1.204 m/sec
conservation of momentum shall apply :
bullet speed V = Vb*(M+m) / m = 1.204*(1984/4.15) = 576 m/sec
A rocket is fired vertically upward. At the instant it reaches an altitude of 2720 m and a speed of 296 m/s, it explodes into three equal fragments. One fragment continues to move upward with a speed of 250 m/s following the explosion. The second fragment has a speed of 476 m/s and is moving east right after the explosion.
What is the magnitude V''' of the velocity of the third fragment in m/s. ?
Suppose a unity mass M worth 1 kg
M = 1*296 North
M' = 1/3*250 North
M'' = 1/3*476 = 158.7 East
M''' = 158.7 West + (296-250/3) North
since M = 1, then velocities are numerically equal to the momentums
V''' = 158.7 W + 212.7 N
