Answer:

a) v=1.81 m/s; B) v=4.95 m/s

Explanation:

using momentum conservation

m1v1+m2v1=m1v2+m2v2

A)

5.2*672+700*0=5.2*428+700v2

The initial velocity of the block is 0, solving for v2

v2=1.81 m/s

B) Now both the bullet and the block travel together

m1v1+m2v1=(m1+m2)v2

5.2*672+700*0=(5.2+700)v

v=4.95 m/s

galina1969 [7]

If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter.  (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)

Answer:

The ball will be attracted to the negatively charged plate. It'll touch and pick up some electrons from the plate so that the ball becomes negatively charged. Immediately the ball is repelled by the negative plate and is attracted to the positive plate. The ball gives up electrons to the positive plate so that it is positively charged and suddenly attracts to the negative plate again, flies over to it and picks up enough electrons to be repulsed by negative plate and again to the positive plate and that continues.
