The final velocity of the bullet+block is 0.799 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, the total momentum of the bullet-block system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Mathematically, we can write:

mu+MU=(m+M)v

where

m = 0.001 kg is the mass of the bullet

u = 800 m/s is the initial velocity of the bullet

M = 1 kg is the mass of the block

U = 0 is the initial velocity of the block (initially at rest)

v is the final combined velocity of the bullet and the block

Solving the equation for v, we  find the final velocity:

v=\frac{mu}{m+M}=\frac{(0.001)(800)}{0.001+1}=0.799 m/s

A ball is thrown straight up. What will
Papessa [141]

Answer:

velocity at the top: 0 m/s

acceleration at the top: -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Assuming up is positive and down is negative;

The velocity of the ball at the top of its path will be 0 m/s and the acceleration will be negative.

The velocity is 0 m/s because the ball does not move at the top of its path, and it switches from a positive velocity to a negative velocity. It must go through 0 in order to go from positive to negative.

The acceleration, however, is always negative no matter where the ball is in its motion. This negative acceleration causes the ball to slow down as it reaches the top, and speed up as it reaches the bottom.

<u>Think about it:</u> If there wasn't a negative acceleration, and it was instead 0, the ball would never come back down and instead keep going in a straight line.

If a pebble is being transported in a stream by rolling, how does the velocity of it compare to the velocity of the stream?
AleksandrR [38]
Streams carry sediment, like pebbles, in their flows. The pebbles can be in a variety of locations in the flow, depending on it's size, the balance between the upwards velocity on the pebble (drag and lift forces), and it's settling velocity.

Describe three pieces of evidence that support the Big Bang theory
lisov135 [29]

Explanation :

According to astronomers, the whole universe is started with a giant explosion called as Big Bang. Big Bang theory shows that the universe is  extended from high density state.

There are some evidence for big bang as :

(1) There are some red shifts of different galaxies which means that the universe is expanding.  

(2) Due to the expanding of universe, some of the new elements are created like hydrogen, deuterium etc.

(3) Microwaves are detected by orbiting detectors.

All this parameters shows that big bang theory was correct.
