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

"relate the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle to the process of fertilisation"​
DerKrebs [107]

Explanation:

During your menstrual cycle , Harmones make the eggs in your Ovaries mature -

• when an egg is mature , That means it's ready to be fertilized by a sperm cell .

• These hormones also make the lining of your uterus thick and spongy . So if your egg does get Fertilised , It has a nice cushy place to land and start a pregnancy .
