A bullet of mass 70 g moving with an initial velocity 100 m s-1 strikes a wooden block and comes to rest after penetrating a distance 25 cm in it. Calculate: (i) Initial momentum of the bullet, (ii) Final momentum of the bullet, (iii) Retardation caused by the wooden block and (iv) Resistive force exerted by the wooden block.
Answers
Explanation:
initial momentum=7000
final momentum=0
retardation=-200m/s^2
Answer:
:( Given:
Mass of the bullet :
= 70 g or 0.07 kg
Initial velocity of the bullet :
= 100 m s-¹
Final velocity of the bullet :
= 0 m s -¹
On the wooden block the bullet cover penetrating distance till coming to rest is :
= 25 cm or 0.025 m
:( To find:
(i) Initial momentum of the bullet
(ii) Final momentum of the bullet
(iii) Retradation caused by the wooden block
(iv) Resistive force exerted by the wooden block
:( Taken:
To find initial momentum:
I = mv
Where,
I = Initial momentum
m = Mass of the bullet
v = Initial velocity of the bullet
To find final momentum:
F = mu
Where,
F = Final momentum
m = Mass of the bullet
u = Final velocity of the bullet
To find the retradation caused on the wooden block:
R = v² = u² + 2 as
Where,
R = Retradation
v² = Initial velocity
u² = Final velocity
a = Acceleration
s = Penetrating distance travelled in the wooden block
To find the resistive force exerted by the wooden block :
F = m×a
Where,
F = Force
m = Mass of the bullet
a = Acceleration
:( Solution:
(i) To find Initial momentum:
>> I = 0.07 kg × 100 m s-¹
>> I = 7 kg . m/s
(ii) To find the final momentum:
>> F = 0.07 kg × 0
>> F = 0 kg . m/s
(iii) To find the retradation caused on the wooden block:
>> (0)²=(100)²×2×a×0.025m
>> (0×0)-(100×100)=0.050a
>> 0-10000=0.050a
>> -10000=0.050a
>> -10000/-0.050=a
>> 5000 m/s²=a
(iv) To find the resistive force exerted of the wooden block:
>> F = 0.07kg×5000 m/s²
>> F = 350 N
:( Answer:
(i) Initial momentum of the bullet:
= 5 kg . m s-¹
(ii) Final momentum of the bullet:
= 0 kg . m s-¹
(iii) Retradation caused on the wooden block:
= 5000 m/s²
(iv) Resistive force exerted on the wooden block:
= 250 N
