The 20-g bullet is traveling at 400 m>s when it becomes embedded in the 2-kg stationary block. Determine the distance the block will slide before it stops. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is mk = 0.2.

distance = 4 m

Explanation:

given data

mass of bullet = 20 gm

velocity = 400 m/s

mass of stationary block = 2 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.2

solution

we will use here law of conservation of linear momentum

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision   ...............1

here

Momentum before collision = (0.02 × 400) + 0 (stationary block)

solve we get

momentum before collision = 8 kg m/s

and

Momentum after collision = (2 + 0.02) v

put here value and we get

8 = 2.02 × v

v = 3.96 m/s.

so

as per work-energy theorem say that

KE  of the block + bullet system = work done by Friction to stop motion of the block + bullet system    ..........................2

put here value and we get

Kinetic energy = 0.5 × (2.02) × (3.96²)

Kinetic energy = 15.84 J

and

Work done by the frictional force is express as

Work done = F × (distance moved by the force)   ......................3

put here value and we get

F = μ × mg

F = 0.2 × (2.02) × (9.8)

F = 3.96 N

and

distance will be

3.96 d = 15.84

distance d =  

distance = 4 m

explanation:

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
