    m2 help- work energy principle
    can somebody tell em the best way to format the qeustions like this
    i always find it hard and mke a mistake
    the teach sed write it out like this:
    initial energy + work done by engine- work done against friction=final energy
    i have a question which i got wrong using this method
    can someone pelase go through each step
    thank you

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    Kinetic energy going into the block - work done by the block = energy of bullet leaving the block

    So in numbers: 500 - 220 = enery of bullet post block.

    Now lets assume all this energy goes to kitetic energy.

    0.5mv^2 = 180.

    Bit of basic rearanging from there and you have the answer.

    Looking at the OP's post it is quite likely that he is doing edexcel maths, the edexcel M2 exam was today, so you are late.

    I don't know if it will get you 100, though the moments question was a bit ambiguous.

    I got 90UMS for scoring 71 raw marks last year, though i was to blame for it as i made mistake in a very easy 'show that' question.

    Good luck
