5.47 m  
The bullet undergoes a non-elastic collision with the block of wood and momentum is conserved. The initial momentum is 0.029 kg * 510 m/s = 14.79 kg*m/s. The combined mass of the block and bullet is 1.40 kg * 0.029 kg = 1.429 kg. Since momentum is conserved, the velocity of both combined will then be 14.79 kg*m/s / 1.429 kg = 10.34989503 m/s. 
 With a local gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2, it will take 10.34989503 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 1.056111738 s for their upward velocity to drop to 0, just prior to descending. 
 The equation for distance under constant acceleration is
 d = 0.5 A T^2
 so
 d = 0.5 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (1.056111738 s)^2
 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 1.115372003 s^2
 d = 5.465322814 m
  Rounding to 3 significant figures gives a height of 5.47 meters.

A bird flew 16 km west in 5 hours , then flew 20 km east in 6 hours . What was the birds velocity?
LenaWriter [7]
During that period of time, the bird's displacement was 4 km east. So its velocity was (4km east)/(11hrs). That's 0.36 km/hour east. (rounded)

Answer:

<em>2.753*10^-11N</em>

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force between the masses is expressed as;

F = GMm/d²

M and m are the distances

d is the distance between the masses

Given

M = 3.71 x 10 kg

m = 1.88 x 10^4 kg

d = 1300m

G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm²/kg

Substitute into the formula

F = 6.67 x 10-11* (3.71 x 10)*(1.88 x 10^4)/1300²

F = 46.52*10^(-6)/1.69 * 10^6

F = 27.53 * 10^{-6-6}

F = 27.53*10^{-12}

F = 2.753*10^-11

<em>Hence the gravitational force between the asteroid is 2.753*10^-11N</em>
