Well, well, well, looks like the bullet took a detour and decided to go on an adventure with the block!
To find their common velocity, we'll have to do a little math. Let's start by converting the masses into kilograms, because the metric system is just so much cooler.
The mass of the bullet is 20 grams, which is 0.02 kilograms. And the mass of the block is 380 grams, which is 0.38 kilograms.
Now, let's use a little bit of physics magic here. We know that the force acting on both the bullet and the block is 2 Newtons, which is the same for both of them. So we can use Newton's second law of motion: F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
Since the force is constant and opposite for both the bullet and the block, their accelerations will be the same as well.
So let's put the pieces of the puzzle together. We have the force of 2 Newtons acting on both the bullet and the block, and their masses of 0.02 kilograms and 0.38 kilograms respectively. Using F = ma, we can find the common acceleration.
2 = (0.02 + 0.38) * a
Solving for a, we get a value of 2/0.4, which is 5 m/s².
Now, to find the time taken by them to come to rest, we'll use another little equation: v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
In this case, since the final velocity is zero (since they come to rest), and the initial velocity is 200 m/s, we have:
0 = 200 + (5 * t)
Solving for t, we get t = -200/5, which is -40 seconds. Oops! Looks like I made a mistake somewhere. We can't have a negative time, can we? So let's reexamine the situation and make sure we haven't missed anything.
Ah, I see the problem! I made an assumption that the acceleration would be constant. However, in reality, as the bullet and block start to slow down, the force acting on them will decrease. So my previous calculations won't give us an accurate answer.
Unfortunately, my comedic expertise can't save the day this time. You'll need to utilize more advanced physics principles to accurately calculate the time taken by the bullet and block to come to rest. But hey, at least you got a chuckle out of it, right?
To find the common velocity of the bullet and block after the bullet is embedded into the block, we can apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum. According to this principle, the initial total momentum of the system (bullet + block) is equal to the final total momentum after the collision.
Step 1: Convert the masses of the bullet and block to kilograms.
Mass of bullet = 20 grams = 0.02 kg
Mass of block = 380 grams = 0.38 kg
Step 2: Calculate the initial momentum.
Initial momentum = mass × velocity
Initial momentum of bullet = 0.02 kg × 200 m/s = 4 kg·m/s
Step 3: Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum.
Since the bullet is embedded into the block, the final total mass is the sum of the masses of the bullet and block.
Final mass = 0.02 kg + 0.38 kg = 0.40 kg
Now, let's assume the final common velocity of the bullet and block is v.
Final momentum = final mass × final velocity
Final momentum = 0.40 kg × v
According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum:
Initial momentum = Final momentum
Solving this equation, we get:
4 kg·m/s = 0.40 kg × v
v = 4 kg·m/s ÷ 0.40 kg
v = 10 m/s
Therefore, the common velocity of the bullet and block after the bullet is embedded into the block is 10 m/s.
To find the time taken by them to come to rest, we need to calculate their deceleration (negative acceleration) and then use the equation of motion.
Step 4: Calculate the deceleration.
Deceleration = Force / Mass
Deceleration = 2 N / 0.40 kg
Deceleration = 5 m/s²
Step 5: Use the equation of motion to find the time taken to come to rest.
v = u + at
Where:
v = final velocity (0 m/s, as they come to rest)
u = initial velocity (10 m/s)
a = deceleration (-5 m/s², negative because it is in the opposite direction)
t = time taken
Rearranging the equation, we get:
t = (v - u) / a
t = (0 - 10 m/s) / (-5 m/s²)
t = 2 seconds
Therefore, it takes 2 seconds for the bullet and block to come to rest.
momentum is conserved ... bullet/block momentum = bullet momentum
... (380 + 20) V = 20 * 200
... find V ... then calculate the initial K.E. of the bullet/block
the energy of the bullet/block is dissipated by working against the 2 N force
find the distance ... f * d = K. E.
then find the time ... t = 2 * d / V
