1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
20 grams = 0.02 kilogram
Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²
(1/2) (0.02) x (15)² =
(0.01) x (225) = 2.25 joules

Answer:
Explanation:
There are several differences between a physical and chemical change in matter or substances. A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.
Answer:
Wavelength
Explanation:
The wavelength of a transverse wave (where the oscillation occurs perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave) is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests ot two consecutive troughs.
In a longitudinal wave, where the oscillation occurs parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions.
Other important definitions for a wave are:
- Frequency: the number of complete cycles per second
- Period: the time needed for one complete cycle to occur
- Amplitude: the distance between the equilibrium position and the maximum displacement of the wave
Answer:
the magnitude of the velocity of the block just after impact is 2.598 m/s and the original speed of the bullect is 324.76m/s.
Explanation:
a) Kinetic energy of block = potential energy in spring
½ mv² = ½ kx²
Here m stands for combined mass (block + bullet),
which is just 1 kg. Spring constant k is unknown, but you can find it from given data:
k = 0.75 N / 0.25 cm
= 3 N/cm, or 300 N/m.
From the energy equation above, solve for v,
v = v √(k/m)
= 0.15 √(300/1)
= 2.598 m/s.
b) Momentum before impact = momentum after impact.
Since m = 1 kg,
v = 2.598 m/s,
p = 2.598 kg m/s.
This is the same momentum carried by bullet as it strikes the block. Therefore, if u is bullet speed,
u = 2.598 kg m/s / 8 × 10⁻³ kg
= 324.76 m/s.
Hence, the magnitude of the velocity of the block just after impact is 2.598 m/s and the original speed of the bullect is 324.76m/s.
