What is the velocity of the bullet of mass 10 g if it raises a mass of 5 kg when it hits it by 10 cm?

The mass of the bullet is 10 g. The mass that is hung is
of 5 kg. When the bullet strikes the mass its height increases by 10
cm.


The potential energy of the mass changes by m*g*h =
5*(10/100)*9.8


This potential energy is imparted by the
bullet that strikes the hung mass.


It does not make a
difference if the bullet is embedded in the 5-kg mass or has passed through it because
its mass of 10 g is negligible compared to that of the mass that is
hung.


The kinetic energy in a body of mass 10 g travelling
at a velocity of V m/s is (1/2)*(10/1000)*V^2


This is equal
to the change in the kinetic energy


=>
(1/2)*(10/1000)*V^2 = 5*(10/100)*9.8


=> V^2 =
(100)*9.8


=> V^2 =
98


=> V = sqrt
98


=> V = 7 * sqrt 2
m/s


The velocity of the bullet is 7* sqrt 2
m/s

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
