Question 3.

Given:

• Mass of bullet = 0.055 kg

,

• Mass of pendulum = 4 kg

,

• Height = 0.01 m

Let's find the speed of the pendulum after the collision.

To find the speed of the collision, apply the formula:


(1)/(2)(m_1+m_2)v^2=(m_1+m_2)gh

Where:

m1 is the mass of the bullet

m2 is the mass of the pendulum

v is the speed

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height = 0.01 m

Thus, we have:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)(0.055+4)v^2=(0.055+4)*9.8*0.01 \\ \\ 2.0275v^2=0.39739 \end{gathered}

Solving further:


\begin{gathered} v^2=(0.39739)/(2.0275) \\ \\ v^2=0.196 \\ \\ v=√(0.196) \\ \\ v=0.443\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

The speed of the system just after collision is 0.443 m/s.

Thus, the speed of the pendulum just after collision is 0.443 m/s.

ANSWER:

A. 0.443 m/s
