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)

Serhud [2]

Answer:

V₂ = -22 V

Explanation:

Electric potential and field are related

         ΔV = - E d

where ΔV is the potential difference between the plates, E the electric field and d the separation between the plates

 

In this exercise we are given the parcionero d = 4 mm = 0.004 m, the potential of one of the plates V1 = -6V and the value of the electric field E = 4000 V / m

          V₂- V₁ = - E d

          V₂ = - Ed + V₁

          V₂ = - 4000 0.004 + (- 6)

          V₂ = -16 - 6

          V₂ = -22 V

masha68 [24]

Answer:

R= 20 ohm  

Explanation:

Given that

Current ,I = 6 A

Voltage difference ,ΔV = 120 V

Lets take resistance of the stem iron = R

We know that ,the relationship between current ,voltage difference and resistance is given as

ΔV = I R

R=\dfrac{\Delta V}{I}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

R=\dfrac{120}{6}\ ohm

R= 20 ohm

Therefore the resistance of the steam  will be 20 ohm.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The smallest part of a millimeter that can be read with a digital caliper with a four digit display is 0.02mm. Thus, it has to be converted to centimetre. So, divide by 10, we then have 0.02/10= *0.002cm* not mm.

Could You Take 2 Elements From The Periodic Table Of Elements, and possibly make one of other 116 elements that are on the table
LekaFEV [45]
That's what stars do all the time. 
For example, in the sun (and MOST other stars), deep down in the center
of the sun's core, two atoms of Hydrogen get squashed together so hard
that they blend into one atom of Helium AND release some energy. 
That's where the sun's energy all comes from.  It's called "nuclear fusion". 
It needs tremendous temperature and pressure to happen.  We know how
to do it, but we can't control it.  So far, the only thing we've ever been able
to use it for is Hydrogen bombs.   

There are 92 elements on the Periodic Table that are found in nature,
plus another 20 or so that have been made in the laboratory, but only
a few atoms of them.
