a 5.0 g bullet moving 325 m/s is shot into a 1.25 kg block, which slides for 1.35 seconds across the surface it is on before coming to rest. what is the average force of kinetic friction between the block and the surface?



Answer :

The average force of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.00601N

v=u +at

v=at

t=v/a                                    -----------1

d=at²/2                               ------------2

Putting the value of t in eq 2

d=v²/(2a)

a=v²/(2d)                             -----------3

Putting the value of a in equation F=ma

F=ma ⇒ m [v²/(2d)]

In the question , m= 5g = 0.005kg , ∨=325m/s

Meanwhile distance=speed x time

distance=[ 325 x 135 ]

distance , d = 43875 m

F= m [v²/(2d)]

=0.005 {(325)²/(2x43875)}

=528.125/87750

=0.00601851852 N

≅0.00601N is the approximate force of kinetic friction between the block and surface.
