Answer:

D

Explanation:

By law of conservation of momentum:

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m_{1} u_1 + m_2 u_2  = m_1 v_1 + m_2  v_2\\ m_1 = mass of bullet\\u_1 = initial speed of bullet\\m_2 = mass of pendulum\\u_2 = initial speed of pendulum\\v_1 = final speed of bullet\\v_2 = final speed of pendulum

Initial speed of bullet is unknown whereas initial speed of pendulum will be zero as it was at rest.

Final speed of bullet and pendulum will be equal as bullet is embedded in pendulum and both moves together a vertical distance of 6.89cm.

Using third equation of motion:

2 a S = v_{f}^2  - v_{i}^2

where:

a = -g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2 ( for vertical motion)\\S = h = 6.89cm = Vertical height or distance it covers\\v_f = final speed = 0 (after covering 6.89cm)\\v_i = initial speed (unknown)

Thus by placing values v_i = 1.1620 m/s

this speed will be final speed of collision for the calculation of initial speed of bullet.

Putting values:

(7.91) * x + (1.52*10^3) * 0 = (7.91 + 1.52*10^3) * 1.162\\7.91 x = 1775.431\\x = 224m/s

This 224m/s = 0.224Km/s which is closest to D

If Earth's mass was cut in half, what would happen to your mass? Group of answer choices
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

nothing, mass is not affected by gravitational force

Explanation:

Weight is the gravitational force a planet exerts on a mass on the surface.

It is the product of the mass of an object with the gravitational acceleration that the planet produces.

The weight is the gravitational force

W=mg

where,

m = Mass of the object

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Mass is the property that matter has which opposes the force being applied to it. It is intrinsic to the object itself and does not change according to the gravitational force. But, the weight changes.
