A lead bullet of mass 0.05 kg is fired with a velocity of 200 m/s into a lead block of mass 0.95 kg. Given that the lead block can move freely, the final kinetic energy after impact is

A.

100J

B.

150J

C.

50J

D.

200J

Correct answer is C

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, 

m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2

Since the collision is inelastic, we have

(0.05×200)(0.95×0)=(0.05+0.95)V

10=V

V=10ms1

Hence the Kinetic energy = 12(0.05+0.95)×102

= 12×100

= 50J

The linear expansivity of brass is 2 x 105 C1. If the volume of a piece of brass is 15.00cm at 0°C, what is the volume at 100°C

A.

16.03cm3

B.

15.09cm3

C.

16.00cm3

D.

15.03cm3

Correct answer is B

Volume Expansivity γ = 3α

γ=3×2×105

γ=6×105C1

V2=V1(1+γθ)

V2=15(1+(6×105×(1000)))

V2=15(1.006)

= 15.09cm3
