Angie, brad, and carlos are discussing a physics problem in which two identical bullets are fired with equal speeds at equal-mas

s wood and steel blocks resting on a frictionless table. One bullet bounces off the steel block while the second becomes embedded in the wood block. All the masses and speeds are the same, says angie, so i think the blocks will have equal speeds after the collisions. But what about momentum? asks brad. The bullet hitting the wood block transfers all its momentum and energy to the block, so the wood block should end up going faster than the steel block. I think the bounce is an important factor, replies carlos. The steel block will be faster because the bullet bounces off it and goes back the other direction.

Answer:

Momentum must be conserved in the collision.

The steel block must move faster after the collision to preserve momentum.

If the steel block is moving faster it will aso have more kinetic energy.

(Note; If the bullet hits the steel block it will have some momentum in the reverse direction and thus have a greater change in total momtntum than the bullet that becomes imbedded in the wood block)

Suppose you want to calculate how much work it
Jobisdone [24]

Mass is not necessary the main thing we need is Displacement

As

  • W=FD

Or

  • Work done=Force×Displacement

The amount of work done is calculated as the force exerted to remove a object to D distance .

How will a wave change as it moves from a layer of higher velocity into a lower layer of lower velocity?
denis-greek [22]

Explanation:

Wave is defined as a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space-time, accompanied by a transfer of energy. Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.

The velocity of wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second). Longitudinal waves like sound waves travel through a medium.

Therefore, a wave move from a layer of high velocity to that of a lower velocity the wavelength changes (that is, decreases) as it moves.

What is the meaning of diversity and find evidence in the source which show that all South Africans should accept and honour div
maksim [4K]

Diversity involves the inclusion of people which have various backgrounds and differences.

<h3>What is Diversity?</h3>

This involves people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, etc living in a given area at a given time.

It is best for all South Africans to accept and honour diversity as discrimination is wrong and individuals are unique and equal.
