- A bullet weighing 6.00 g is fired horizontally at a speed of 458 m/s into a wooden block weighing 1.00 kg. (Note: The block is resting on a frictionless horizontal surface). Find how fast the block will be moving if the bullet becomes embedded in the block and find out how much thermal energy was generated during the collision.arrow_forwardDoing some physics homework and am kind of stumped here!arrow_forwardA spring pushes against two horizontal carts that are held together by a thread on a frictionless surface. Cart A is 1.5-kg and Cart B is 4.5-kg. The thread is then burned, releasing the stored energy of the spring and the carts move away from each other. The Cart A moves with a velocity of 27cm / s to the left. What is the velocity of the Cart B, in cm / s ?arrow_forward
- In a circus act, a 55.5 kg clown with 2.5 m/s horizontal velocity jumps into the air and is caught by a 72.5 kg clown who was initially at rest. The clown is sitting on a sheet of ice, and moves off at some new velocity, after the two clowns are stuck together. How much kinetic energy is lost during this process?

- Two objects are on a collision course. Object #1 has a mass of 4.6 kg and an initial velocity of 7.3 m/s i. Object #2 has a mass of 7.7 kg and an initial velocity of --11.2 m/s i. After colliding, Object #1 has a velocity of -2 m/s i. What is the change in kinetic energy of the system?arrow_forwardA 11 g bullet is fired into the bob of a ballistic pendulum of mass 1.3 kg. When the bob is at its maximum height, the strings make an angle of 60° with the vertical. The length of the pendulum is 2.3 m. Find the speed of the bullet. m/s еВookarrow_forwardAn isolated system consists of two objects, A and B, moving without friction along a horizontal x-axis. The figure shows the initial masses and speeds of these objects. 7.00 m s-¹ 2.00 kg A Check 5.00 m s-¹ Final kinetic energy initial kinetic energy = || 3.00 kg The two objects then suffer an inelastic collision, after which they remain stuck together, traveling as a single composite object, confined to the x-axis. None of these objects rotates. - B What is the difference between the final kinetic energy of the composite object and the total initial kinetic energy of A and B?
