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

Which part of earths surface has the greatest rotational speed
Anni [7]
Every point on the surface must have the same rotational speed.
Otherwise some places would rotate away from other places.

If the next block of your city rotated faster than the block that you live on,
then you could sit at home, look out the window, and watch your school
rotate past your house.

The map of the continents on the Earth would change constantly.
