Yes we can run almost three lakhs of the grandfather clocks to run a single light bulb .

<u>Explanation:</u>

Yes we can run almost three lakhs of the grandfather clocks to run a single light bulb .
In simple words, power can be defined as the work done by the time and the SI unit of the power is Joules per second.
For example in the case of the light bulb, the Incandescent light bulb takes 60 watts per hour.
For example in the case of the clocks, the modern clocks use between 1 and 2 watts power.

A 5.30 g bullet moving at 963 m/s strikes a 610 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling

Answer:

a) $V_{wf}$ = 4.67m/s

b) V = 8.29 m/s

Explanation:

Givens:

The bullet is 5.30g moving at 963m/s and its speed reduced to 426m/s. The wooden block is 610g.

a) From conservation of linear momentum

Pi = Pf

$m_{b}V{b_{i} } + V_{wi} = m_{w} V_{wf} + m_{b}V_{bf}$

where $m_{b},V{b_{i}$ are the mass and the initial velocity of the bullet, $m_{w}$ and $V_{wi}$ are the mass and the initial velocity of the wooden block, and $V_{wf}$ and $V_{bf}$ are the final velocities of the wooden block and the bullet

The wooden block is initial at rest $(V_{wi} = 0)$ this yields

$m_{b}V{b_{i} } = m_{w} V_{wf} + m_{b}V_{bf}$

By solving for $V_{wf}$ adn substitute the givens

$V_{wf}$ = $\frac{m_{b}V_{bi} - m_{b} V_{bf} }{m_{W} }$

= $\frac{5.3(g)(963(m/s)-426(m/s) }{610(g)}$

$V_{wf}$ = 4.67m/s

b) The center of mass speed is defined as

$V = \frac{m_{b} }{m_{b}+m_{w} } V_{bi}$

substituting:

$V = \frac{5.3(g)}{5.3(g)+610(g)} X 963(m/s)$

V = 8.29 m/s

Red shift is one piece of observational evidence which supports the big bang theory. The fact that galaxies are moving away from us means that the universe was once much smaller, supporting the big bang theory which states that all the matter in the universe once occupied a single point with infinite density.
