Question
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.)
