Answer:
An old clock that has a swinging pendulum
Explanation:
I believe the best example of Newton's First Law of motion would be the example or illustration with the basketball player. An object will move in a straight line or a given direction at a constant speed unless or until another force acts upon the object, causing a change in speed and or direction.
Answer:
(a) the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block is 3.226 m/s
(b) the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block before the collision is 500J
(c) the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block after the collision is 16.13J
Explanation:
Given;
mass of bullet, m₁ = 0.1 kg
initial speed of bullet, u₁ = 100 m/s
mass of block, m₂ = 3 kg
initial speed of block, u₂ = 0
Part (A)
Applying the principle of conservation linear momentum, for inelastic collision;
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
where;
v is the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block
(0.1 x 100) + (3 x 0) = v (0.1 + 3)
10 = 3.1v
v = 10/3.1
v = 3.226 m/s
Part (B)
Initial Kinetic energy
Ki = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²
Ki = ¹/₂(0.1 x 100²) + ¹/₂(3 x 0²)
Ki = 500 + 0
Ki = 500 J
Part (C)
Final kinetic energy
Kf = ¹/₂m₁v² + ¹/₂m₂v²
Kf = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)
Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(0.1 + 3)
Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(3.1)
Kf = 16.13 J
