A 0.100-kg stone rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A bullet of mass 6.00 g, traveling horizontally at 350 m/s, strikes the stone and rebounds horizontally at right angles to its original direction with a speed of 250 m/s. (a) Compute the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the stone after it is struck. (b) Is the collision perfectly elastic?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The velocity of stone after impact is 26m/sat an angle 35.4.

(b) The collision is not perfectly elastic.

Step by step solution

01

Determination of magnitude and direction of velocity of stone after collision.(a)Given Data:

The initial velocity of a bullet in a horizontal direction is ubx=350m/s

The rebound velocity of a bullet in the vertical direction is vby=250m/s

The mass of stone is: M=0.100kg

The mass of the bullet is: m=6g=0.006kg

02

Concept

The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the stone after the collision is found by using momentum conservation along the horizontal and vertical directions.

03

Calculation

Apply the momentum conservation along the horizontal direction.

mubx=Mv肠辞蝉胃

Here, is the direction of the stone and v is the velocity after collision.

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

0.006kg350m/s=0.100kgv肠辞蝉胃v肠辞蝉胃=21m/s........1

Apply the momentum conservation along the vertical direction.

localid="1664450494024" mubx-Mv蝉颈苍胃=0

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

0.006kg250m/s-0.100kgv蝉颈苍胃=0v蝉颈苍胃=15m/s........2

Divide equation (2) by equation(1) to find the direction of stone.

vsinvcos=15m/s21m/s迟补苍胃=0.71=35.4

Substitute =35.4in the equation (2) to find velocity of stone after impact.

vsin35.4=15m/sv=26m/s

Therefore, the velocity of stone after impact is v=26m/sat an angle 35.4.

04

Determination of type of collision

The total kinetic energy before the collision is given as:

K1=12mu2bxK1=12(0.006kg)(350m/s)2 K1=367.5J

The total kinetic energy after collision is given as:

K2=12mu2by+12Mv2K2=12(0.006kg)(250m/s)2120.1kg26m/s2 K2=221.3J

Since the kinetic energies before and after collision are not equal, so collision of bullet with stone is not perfectly elastic.

Therefore, the collision is not perfectly elastic.
