Abullet, m = 0.500 kg, traveling with some initial velocity strikes and embeds itself in the bob of a ballistic pendulum, m = 9.50 kg. a) the combined masses rise to a height h = 1.28 m. the speed vf of the combined masses immediately following impact is

5 m/s

Explanation:

mass of bullet, m = 0.5 kg

initial velocity of bullet is u.

mass of pendulum, M = 9.50 kg

height raised, h = 1.28 m

The kinetic energy of the bullet and pendulum system is equal to the potential energy of the system

Let vf be the final velocity after the impact

KE = PE

1/2 (M + m) Vf^2 = (M + m) x g x h

vf^2 = 2 x 9.8 x 1.28 = 25.088

vf = 5 m/s

Thus, the final speed of the combined mass system after the impact s 5 m/s.  

frequency or wavelenth of em radiation in a vacuum

its a 5.5 n

glad that
