Answer:

A. 1.172 metres

B. 6.82 Ns

C. 4.796 m/s

Explanation:

The total initial momentum is gotten by multiplying the mass and initial velocity of the both bodies.

The 1.40 kg block is at rest so velocity is zero and has no momentum.

The bullet of mass 22 g = 0.022 kg with velocity of 310 m/s

Momentum = 310*0.022

Momentum = 6.82 Ns.

If the bullet gets embedded they will both have common velocity v

6.82 = (0.022+1.40)v

6.82 = 1.422v

V = 6.82/1.422

V = 4.796 m/s

How high the block will rise after the bullet is embedded is given by

H = (U²Sin²tita)/2g

Where tita is 90°

H = (4.796² * sin²(90))/(2*9.81)

H =( 23.001616*1)/19.62

H = 1.172 metres

aleksley [76]

Answer:

In contrast, the intrinsic brightness of an astronomical object, does not depend on the distance of the observer or any extinction. The absolute magnitude M, of a star or astronomical object is defined as the apparent magnitude it would have as seen from a distance of 10 parsecs (33 ly).

An object weighs 3 lb. at 10 earth radii from its center. What is the object's weight on the earth's surface? ______ lb.
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The weight is the same  

3 lb

explanation

See explanation.

Explanation:

If by weight you mean the physical value measured in  

l b  (or  k g ) usually called mass, then this value does not depend on a place where object is located. Object's mass would be the same everywhere even if you put it on Mars or the Sun.

The value which changes is the gravitational force. In your example it is  

10 2 = 100  times greater on the Earth's surface than in the point  10  Earth's radii from its center.

In a shot-put competition, a shot moving at 15m/s has 450J of mechanical kinetic energy. What is the mass of the shot? Please he
Llana [10]

Answer:

Mass of shot (m) = 4 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity (v) = 15 m/s

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = 450 J

Find:

Mass of shot (m) = ?

Computation:

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = 1/2mv²

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = [1/2](m)(15)²

450 = [1/2](m)(15)²

900 = 225 m

Mass of shot (m) = 4 kg
