A 1.2 kg block of wood hangs motionless from strings. A 50 gram bullet, traveling horzontally, strikes the block and becomes emb

edded inside the block. Immediately after the bullet becomes embedded in the block, the block is observed to have a speed of 8.0 m/s. What was the speed of the bullet before it hit the block

Answer:

speed of the bullet before it hit the block is 200 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass of block m1 = 1.2 kg

mass of bullet m2 = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

combine speed V= 8.0 m/s

to find out

speed of the bullet before it hit the block

solution

we will apply here conservation of momentum that is

m1 × v1 + m2 × v2 = M × V    .............1

here m1 is mass of block and m2 is mass of bullet and v1 is initial speed of block i.e 0 and v2 is initial speed of bullet and M is combine mass of block and bullet and V is combine speed of block and bullet

put all value in equation 1

m1 × v1 + m2 × v2 = M × V

1.2 × 0 + 0.05 × v2 = ( 1.2 + 0.05 ) × 8

solve it we get

v2 = 200 m/s

so speed of the bullet before it hit the block is 200 m/s

Speed, frequency and wavelength are interconnected to each other.

<h3>What happens to the wavelength if the frequency increases?</h3>

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. As the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer.

The wave speed is equal to the product of its frequency and wavelength, which shows the relationship between frequency and wavelength.

So we can conclude that speed, frequency and wavelength are interconnected to each other.

What are loops of gas on sun that link different parts of sunspot regions together?
love history [14]
So we want to know what are loops of gas on the Sun that link different parts of sunspot regions together. A large and bright gaseous feature that extends from the surface of the Sun that links different parts of sunspot regions together is called Prominence. They are on the Suns surface in the photosphere and they extend outwards into the Corona.
