This problem is causing me quite a bit of grief and I could really use a guiding hand to tell me where I am going wrong. Here is the set up, then after that is what I've used to tackle it so far.
You are a world-famous physicist-lawyer defending a client who has been charged with murder. It...
Hi.
There's this question that was posed.
And I'm totally lost.:redface: If my professor explained how it's all derived it would've been useful.
Here we are:
A bullet and a proton have the same momentum. Which has the longer wavelength?
Any help?
Thanks,

A 2.0-kg pistol fires a 1.0-kg bullet with a muzzle speed of 1000 m/s. The bullet then strikes a 10-kg wooden block resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block and the embedded bullet then slide across the surface.
A) what is the kinetic energy of the bullet as it travels toward the...
A 0.0125 kg bullet strikes a 0.300-kg block attached to a fixed horizontal spring whose spring constant is 2.25 x 103 N/m and sets it into vibration with an amplitude of 12.4 cm. What was the speed of the bullet if the two objects move together after impact?

I am stupid when it comes to Physics so please guide me :). I have 2 questions on a worksheet I got today and I am stuck.
Is it b? .. (30 m/s) / 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.06s ... 30 x 1/2(3.06) = 46m?
Is it b? .. Vi = Vf - a*1/2(t) ... Vi = 0, Vf = 0, a = 9.8, t = 1/2(10) = 5 ...
The question is "A 2 kg block initially hangs at rest at the end of two 1-meter strings of negligible mass. A .003 kg bullet, moving horizontally with a speed of 1000 meters per second, strikes the block and becomes embedded in it. After the collision, the bullet/block combination swings upward...

I was told something I really found hard to believe. Two cases:
A) You drop a guns bullet from a height of let's say 1 meter.
B) You fire the bullet from the gun horizontaly, also 1 meter above ground.
What I'm told is that these two bullets will hit the ground at the same time if...
okay my question is kinda stupid, and i know i totally sux at physics.
if a bullet is shot upwards, will it fall at an equal or greater force? i know its decelerating as it is shot up, and it would be acclerating as it falls, and so wouldn't it fall at a greater force?
A 0.01-kg bullet traveling horizontally at 400.1 m/s strikes a 4.2-kg block of wood sitting at the edge of a table. The bullet is lodged into the wood. If the table height is 1.3 m, how far from the table does the block hit the floor?
I have calculated the final velocity of the bullet and...
A 135 g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.590 m long. Assuming the origin is placed where the bullet begins to move, the force (in Newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is 20000 + 8000x - 22000x2, where x is in meters.

Ok guys, I'm stuck on this question I was wondering if you could help me out.
Its actually in 2 parts (2nd part harder than 1st part).
1st part: At what height will a bullet reach if fired at 1000mph straight up (excluding all other forces except gravity)
2nd part: At what angle would a...
So I was curious as to how far a high velocity bullet would travel if fired at a 45 deg angle. I used the muzzle velocity for a .306 150 g bullet which is 2700 fps or 822.9 m/s.
I only calculated this for zero air resitance because I quite honestly don't know how to calculate for air...
I am not quite sure how to start this problem:
A bullet of mass m is fired from a gun of mass M. If the gun can recoil freely and the muzzle velocity of the bullet is v. Show that the actual velocity of the bullet relative to the ground is v/(1+b) and the recoil velocity from the gun is...
Me and my friends were arguing if a bullet can push a person back. I'm the only one that thinks it won't push a person back even if it doesn't go through simply because the force is not big enough to push a person back.
Also, say a person was coated with a layer of diamonds, and was shot in...
I have a problem where a 20 gram bullet is fired at 1200m/s throguh a 45 gram block and emerges at 900m/s. I am asked to find the time that the bullet took to pass through the block which leads into a follow-on question about finding total force applied. I do not even know how to approach...
Q) A 3 g bullet traveling at a speed of 400m/s enters a tree and exits the other side with a speed of 200 m/s. Where did the bullet's lost KE go, and what was the energy transferred?
