The force of gravity, attracting the Earth and the Moon to each other,
keeps the two bodies in orbit around their common center of mass.

(Gravity also keeps the common center of Earth-mass and Moon-mass
in orbit around the sun.)

A bullet with momentum of 2.8 kg·m/s [E] is traveling at a speed of 187 m/s. The mass of the bullet is: a) 67 g b) 15 g c) 0.067

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The mass of the bullet is 15 g.

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Momentum = 2.8 kg m/s

Speed = 187 m/s

We need to calculate the mass of the bullet

Using formula of momentum

$P = mv$

$m = \dfrac{P}{v}$

Where, P = momentum

v = speed

Put the value into the formula

$m = \dfrac{2.8}{187}$

$m = 0.015\ kg$

$m = 15\ g$

Hence, The mass of the bullet is 15 g.
