   After impact velocity = 14.968 ft/s

Weight and mass of Bullet and wooden block:

Bullet: w = 1oz = 1/16 lb m = 0.001941 lb

wooden block : W = 5lb M = 0.15528 lb

velocity of block and bullet immediately after impact:

Σmv1 + ΣImp = mv2

Resolving vertical component

( m× v₀cos30⁰) + 0 = ( m+M) v'

v' = ( m× v₀cos30⁰)/ (m+M)

v' = 14.968 ft/s

Horizontal and vertical component of the impulse exerted by block on the bullet:

   Here we will apply the principle of impulse and momentum.

 Horizontal component:

          -mv₀ cos30⁰ + RxΔt  =0

                                 RxΔt = mv₀sin30⁰

                                          = 0.001941 × 1400sin30⁰

                                   RxΔt = 1.3587 lb.s

         Vertical component:

                           -mv₀cos30⁰  + RyΔt =  -mv'

                                     RyΔt = m( v₀cos30⁰-v')

                                     RyΔt = 0.001941(1400cos30⁰ - 14.968)

                                              = 2.32 lb.s

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

red has a longer wavelength than yellow. Yellow has a longer wavelength than green.

Explanation

in the visible spectrum a color with high frequency  contains shorter wavelength.In this case red color has high wavelength followed by yellow followed by green,blue and violet.

Why are the parts of an atom that electrons occupy called electron clouds?
Anna [14]

Because it's literally impossible to tell exactly where something that size is
located at any particular time.

And that's NOT because it's so small that we can't see it.  It's because any
material object behaves as if it's made of waves, and the smaller the object is,
the more the size of its waves get to be like the same size as the object. 
When you get down to things the size of subatomic particles, it doesn't make
sense any more to try and talk about where the particle actually "is", and we only
talk about the waves that define it, and how the waves all combine to become a
cloud of <em><u>probability</u></em> of where the particle is.

I know it sounds weird.  But that's the way it is.  Sorry.

3. Pedro threw a penny into a fountain and it sank to the bottom. Which of the following would explain
____ [38]

Answer:

its B because we're not talking about mass even tho most people would have chosen A cuz it says mass and u they would think its apart of density but if ur testing to see density ur figuring out which object will sink and which one will float so da reason why da penny snuck it cuz da density is greater den da water and copper has a better chance of sinking den floating so dats why its B I hope dis helps :3

Suppose light from a 632.8 nm helium-neon laser shines through a diffraction grating ruled at 520 lines/mm. How many bright line
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the position of the m-th order brigh line (constructive interference) produced by diffraction of light through a diffraction grating is:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}

where

m is the order of the maximum

\lambda is the wavelength of the light

D is the distance of the screen

d is the separation between two adjacent slit

Here we have:

\lambda=632.8 nm = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m is the wavelength of the light

D = 1 m is the distance of the screen (not given in the problem, so we assume it to be 1 meter)

n=520 lines/mm is the number of lines per mm, so the spacing between two lines is

d=\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{520}=1.92\cdot 10^{-3} mm = 1.92\cdot 10^{-6} m

Therefore, substituting m = 1, we find:

y=\frac{(632.8\cdot 10^{-9})(1)}{1.92\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.330 m

So, on the distant screen, there is 1 bright fringe every 33 cm.
