A 0.0140 kg bullet traveling at 205 m/s east hits a motionless 1.80 kg block and bounces off it, retracing its original path wit

h a velocity of 103 m/s west. What is the final velocity of the block? Assume the block rests on a perfectly frictionless horizontal surface.

Answer:

Final velocity of the block = 2.40 m/s east.

Explanation:

Here momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Mass of bullet = 0.0140 kg

Consider east as positive.

Initial velocity of bullet = 205 m/s

Mass of Block = 1.8 kg

Initial velocity of block = 0 m/s

Initial momentum = 0.014 x 205 + 1.8 x 0 = 2.87 kg m/s

Final velocity of bullet = -103 m/s

We need to find final velocity of the block( u )

Final momentum = 0.014 x -103+ 1.8 x u = -1.442 + 1.8 u

We have

            2.87 = -1.442 + 1.8 u

               u = 2.40 m/s

Final velocity of the block = 2.40 m/s east.

A satellite was in two separate crashes. In both crashes, the satellite had the same mass. Engineers want to know about the spee
irina1246 [14]

Answer & Explanation:

Crashing into the asteroid would cause the satellite to slow down, stop, or reverse direction, because it is a force in the opposite direction to the satellite's motion. Whichever crash was a stronger force would cause it to change motion more. It takes a stronger force to change the velocity of a more massive object.

HEYYYY!! PLEASE HELP!!! Describe three machines that humans have designed and explain how the mechanical advantage is used.!!
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Three machines that humans have created are the lever, the wheel, and the axle, and also a pulley. even though there's actually more. A lever is A rigid bar that is free to move around a fixed point, such as a screwdriver. The wheel and axle, everyone should know what that is and what it does, it lifts heavy objects, moves people quickly, and moves parts of a complex machine. Pulleys are used to lift things, pulleys can be used singly or with many pulleys working together in order to transport people or things. They can also be used to provide power from one shaft to another. ... Construction pulleys are used in order to lift and place heavy materials.

Benzene is a starting material in the synthesis of nylon fibers and polystyrene (styrofoam). Its specific heat capacity is 1.74
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer: 62.7^0C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed= 16.7 kJ = 16700 J  (1kJ=1000J)

m= mass of benzene = 225 g

c = specific heat capacity = 1.74 J/gK

Initial temperature of the water = T_i = 20.0°C  = 293 k  0^0C=273K

Final temperature of the water = T_f  = ?

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i

Putting in the values, we get:

16700=225\times 1.74\times (T_f-293)

T_f=335.6K=62.7^0C

The  final temperature will be 62.7^0C
