Question

Transcribed Image Text:3. A ballistic pendulum is used to measure the speed of a bullet. It consists
of a block of wood (mass=2.50 kg) suspended by a wire of negligible
mass. A bullet (mass=0.0100 kg) is fired with a speed Vb1 into the block.
Just after the bullet collides with it, the block (with the bullet) has a speed
V2 and then swings to a maximum height of 0.650 m above the initial
position. Find the speed of the bullet.
(Hint: Use LCM.)
4. A vessel at rest explodes, breaking into three pieces. Two pieces, having
equal mass, fly off perpendicular to one another with the same speed of 30
m/s. The third piece has three times the mass of each other piece. What
are the magnitude and direction of its velocity immediately after the
explosion?
(Hint: Use LCM.)
5. A stationary nucleus of Po-204 (mass = 204 amu) undergoes alpha decay.
Show that, as a result of ejecting alpha particle (He-4: mass = 4 amu), the
daughter nucleus recoils with a speed equal to 2% that of the alpha
particle.
(Hint: Use LCM.)

The wire is held horizontal, and the ball is released from rest (see the drawing). It swings downward and strikes a block initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible, and the collision is elastic. The masses of the ball and block are, respectively, 1.7 kg and 2.5 kg, and the length of the wire is 1.23 m. Find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball (a) just before the collision, and (b) just after the collision. +y (a) v = 4.912 m/s (b) v = i m/sarrow_forward1. An inventor patents a "golf machine". It consists of a "golf club" which is really a pendulum of length L = 2 (m), with a massles string and a mass M = 30 (kg) on the end. By pulling back on the pendulum until the string makes an angle 0= 10° from the vertical, and then releasing it from rest, the golf club strikes the "golf ball" exactly horizontally. The golf ball is a mass m = that rests on a platform which is h = 20 (cm) above the horizontal ground. Assume that all collisions are elastic and all masses are point masses. Finally you should ignore air resistance but gravity acts down as usual. M) 0.1 (kg) h А.
