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.

Answer:

A jar of mixed nuts is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A heterogeneous mixture is a type of mixture that is not uniform in the appearance and composition varies throughout.

The heterogeneous mixture consists of multiple phases.

A jar of mixed nuts is an example of the heterogeneous mixture because they do not have a uniform composition component differ in proportion and they do not mix, instead, they form two different layers and they can be easily separated.

Determine the half-life of uranium-238 based on the graph.
Nikitich [7]
From the curve on the graph we can see, when y=50 x=4.5
the unit of x-axis is in "billions of years", so the answer is 4.5 billions of years

Estimate how much solar energy reaches the earth per year (in Joule).
Alexxandr [17]

Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth.

In a year it is very hard to determine because of the night and different light levels.
