(a)
Which would make the block swing higher, a 0.204 Ruger bullet of mass 2.14 g and muzzle speed 1290 m/s or a 7 mm Remington Magnum bullet of mass 9.71 g and muzzle speed 948 m/s? Assume the bullets enter the block right after leaving the muzzle of the rifle?
Answer to Problem 72QAP
Remington bullet will make the block swing higher.
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Formula used:
Calculation:
By conservation of momentum,
By conservation of energy,
We know that
So, we have,
Comparing the height of 2 bullets,
Here the ratio is less than 1, so the Remington bullet will make the block swing higher.
Conclusion:
Remington bullet will make the block swing higher.
(b)
Using your answer in part (a), the mass of the block so that when hit by the bullet it will swing through a 60.0° angle? The block hangs from wire of length 1.25 m and negligible mass.
Answer to Problem 72QAP
Mass of block = 2.62 kg
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Formula used:
Calculation:
From trigonometry the final height of block reached is,
By conservation of energy,
By conservation of momentum,
Conclusion:
Mass of block = 2.62 kg
(c)
What is the speed of an 8.41-g bullet that causes the block to swing upward through a 30.0° angle?
Answer to Problem 72QAP
Speed of an 8.41-g bullet = 566 m/s
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Formula used:
Calculation:
From trigonometry the final height of block reached is,
By conservation of energy,
By conservation of momentum,
Conclusion:
Speed of an 8.41-g bullet = 566 m/s

- 2. Consider the situation described in problem 1 where light emerges horizontally from ground level. Take k = 0.0020 m' and no = 1.0001 and find at which horizontal distance, x, the ray reaches a height of y = 1.5 m.arrow_forward2-3. Consider the situation of the reflection of a pulse at the interface of two string described in the previous problem. In addition to the net disturbances being equal at the junction, the slope of the net disturbances must also be equal at the junction at all times. Given that p1 = 4.0 g/m, H2 = 9.0 g/m and Aj = 0.50 cm find 2. A, (Answer: -0.10 cm) and 3. Ay.

- Look at the answer and please show all work step by steparrow_forward3. As a woman, who's eyes are h = 1.5 m above the ground, looks down the road sees a tree with height H = 9.0 m. Below the tree is what appears to be a reflection of the tree. The observation of this apparent reflection gives the illusion of water on the roadway. This effect is commonly called a mirage. Use the results of questions 1 and 2 and the principle of ray reversibility to analyze the diagram below. Assume that light leaving the top of the tree bends toward the horizontal until it just grazes ground level. After that, the ray bends upward eventually reaching the woman's eyes. The woman interprets this incoming light as if it came from an image of the tree. Determine the size, H', of the image.
