Question

Transcribed Image Text:Your answer is partially correct.
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 0.50-inch plywood.
(a) Number
271.82
(b) Number i 51.209
