Newton's 2nd law of motion says

                   Net force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Plug in the things you know, and you have

                   80 N  =  (20 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (20 kg) :

                  80N / 20kg  =  acceleration

                   acceleration  =  4 m/s²

Answer:

0.372 kg

Explanation:

The collision between the bullet and the block is inelastic, so only the total momentum of the system is conserved. So we can write:

mu=(M+m)v (1)

where

m=11.9 g = 11.9\cdot 10^{-3}kg is the mass of the bullet

u=261 m/s is the initial velocity of the bullet

M is the mass of the block

v is the velocity at which the bullet and the block travels after the collision

We also know that the block is attached to a spring, and that the surface over which the block slides after the collision is frictionless. This means that the energy is conserved: so, the total kinetic energy of the block+bullet system just after the collision will entirely convert into elastic potential energy of the spring when the system comes to rest. So we can write

\frac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2 = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 (2)

where

k = 205 N/m is the spring constant

x = 35.0 cm = 0.35 m is the compression of the spring

From eq(1) we get

v=\frac{mu}{M+m}

And substituting into eq(2), we can solve to find the mass of the block:

(M+m) \frac{(mu)^2}{(M+m)^2}=kx^2\\\frac{(mu)^2}{M+m}=kx^2\\M+m=\frac{(mu)^2}{kx^2}\\M=\frac{(mu)^2}{kx^2}-m=\frac{(11.9\cdot 10^{-3}\cdot 261)^2}{(205)(0.35)^2}-11.9\cdot 10^{-3}=0.372 kg

Rita conducts an experiment on how the amount of precipitation each fall affects
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

As spring season is a yearly phenomenon so, Rita should organize her data on yearly basis. Firstly, she should plan the procedure of her experiment and collect the data according to it. Secondly, identify the attribute of each object of her experiment. Thirdly, she can organize and segregate her data in tabular form, graphical form or diagrammatically.
