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
The correct answer is D) The closet point in the Moon's orbit to Earth
This does not refer to the Moon only. It refers to any satellite and to its closest point to Earth.
