Answer:a) The bullet will miss the monkey because the monkey falls down while the bullet speeds straight forward.
Explanation: The bullet keeps as it aim( the monkey) unless it is redirected by an external force that could redirect it. Hence, the bullet speeds straight forward.
Answer:

Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system can be expresed as the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy:

When the spring is in its equilibrium position, that is
, the object speed its maximum. So, we have:

In order to double its maximum speed, that is
. We have:

The sugar cube experiment in the laboratory gives us a good approximation of the amount of energy that can be derived from the sugar cube because the amount of energy is neither created or destroyed, it is just converted to another form. If the energy from the sugar cube is converted to other form in the lab then, it is possible that same amount of energy will be derived.
Answer:
1.26 m/s²
Explanation:
Given:
Δx = 172 m
v₀ = 17.3 m/s
v = 27.1 m/s
Find: a
v² = v₀² + 2aΔx
(27.1 m/s)² = (17.3 m/s)² + 2a (172 m)
a = 1.26 m/s²
