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.

Aaden has decided to break up with his significant other. He has gone over what he is going to say, but can not decide where to
kow [346]

Answer:

The correct answer is: b. Channel

Explanation:

The Communication Process Model (CPM) is a model that describes the steps through which effective exchange of information takes place from the  sender of a message to the receiver(s) of the message. (Refer to attached image)

The CPM includes the following steps:

1. Noise- reducing physical/ physiological distractions that can impede clear communication.  

2. Communicator- the person who initiates the communication

3. Message- the information exchanged between the sender and receiver of the message

4. Feedback- How the information from the sender is received by the recipient of the communication

5. Channel- The medium by which the information is delivered from the sender to the receiver.

In this instance, when Aaden decided to have a discussion with his significant other in his home using face-to-face communication, he is deciding on the channel or medium through which the communication will this place. By choosing face-to-face communication at his home, Aaden has determined what he believes is the most appropriate context for the conversation with his significant other, given the sensitive nature of the topic. In this way, Aaden has selected a channel of communication.

The _____ deflects these winds to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the Southern Hemisphere
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Coriolis Effect

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect is responsible for the deflection of winds to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the right in the Southern hemisphere. It is an effect that occurs because of the rotation of the earth around its axis.

The implication of this is that in areas of low pressure in the Northern hemisphere, winds tend to blow in anticlockwise direction, and in areas of high pressure, it blows in a clockwise direction. The opposite of this happens in the Southern hemisphere.

How long would it take an object to reach the ground from the top of a building that is 470 feet tall? Round to the nearest tent
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

It would take the object 5.4 s to reach the ground.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the height of a free-falling object at any given time, neglecting air resistance, is the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

h = height of the object at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-32.2 ft/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

t = time

Let´s supose that the object is dropped and not thrown so that v0 = 0. Then:

h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find the time at which h = 0:

0 = 470 ft - 1/2 · 32.2 ft/s² · t²

Solving for t:

-470 ft = -16.1 ft/s² · t²

-470 ft / -16.1 ft/s² = t²

t = 5.4 s
