Energy of a Bullet Dissipated by Plywood. As part of a criminal investigation, you need to determine how much of a bullet's energy is dissipated by a 0.500-inch piece of plywood. You construct a device that consists of three disks that are separated by a distance d = 0.850 m and rotate on a common axis. The bullet is fired through the first disk (a few inches above its center), which is composed of a light plastic that has a negligible effect on the speed of the bullet. The bullet then passes through the second disk, which is composed of 0.500-inch plywood. Finally, the bullet strikes the third disk, where it becomes embedded. The disks rotate with an angular velocity of w = 86.0 rad/s. The angular displacement between holes in the first and second disks is A012 = 0.269 rad, and the angular displacement between the holes in the second and third disks is A023 = 0.286 rad. If the mass of the bullet is 12.0 g, find (a) the initial speed of the bullet and (b) the energy dissipated by the…
1. A circular object of radius R starts from rest and rolls down an incline of M, I height H without slipping. The object has a mass M, a moment of inertia / and a radius R. We go through the steps in finding the speed of the object at the bottom of the incline below, a. What is the total mechanical energy of the object at the top of the incline? Write your answer in terms of I, M, R, H and/or g. b. What is the total mechanical energy at the bottom of the incline in terms of the speed v and the givens? Use the relation v = wR to eliminate the angular speed from your expression. Check that your expression has the correct dimensions. Your final expression should only contain v, I, M, R and/or g. When an object rolls without slipping, the point in contact with the ground is at rest. Therefore, the friction the mechanical energy C. force has displacer work, conserved. Use conservation of mechanical energy to find the speed v of the object at the bottom of the hill in terms of I, R, M,H…
