Answer:

x = 0.54 m

y = 0.058 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the bullet = 16 g = 0.016 kg

v = speed of bullet before collision = 240 m/s

M = mass of the pendulum = 3.6 kg

L = length of the string = 2.5 m

h = height gained by the pendulum after collision

V = speed of the bullet and pendulum combination

Using conservation of momentum

m v = (m + M) V

(0.016) (240) = (0.016 + 3.6) V

V = 1.062 m/s

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by bullet and pendulum combination = Kinetic energy of bullet and pendulum combination

(m + M) g h = (0.5) (m + M) V²

(9.8) h = (0.5) (1.062)²

h = 0.058 m

y = vertical displacement = h = 0.058 m

x = horizontal displacement

horizontal displacement is given as

x = sqrt(L² - (L - h)²)

x =  sqrt(2.5² - (2.5 - 0.058)²)

x = 0.54 m

What is Newton's first law
Anastaziya [24]
Newton’s first law is motion. For example, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

If the distance between two objects decreased, what would happen to the force of gravity between them?
evablogger [386]

Answer: A- It would increase

Explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation:

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}  

Where:  

F is the module of the attraction force exerted between both objects

G is the universal gravitation constant.  

m_{1} and m_{2} are the masses of both objects  

r is the distance between both objects

As we can see, the gravity force is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies or objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

In other words:

<h2>If we decrease the distance between both objects, the gravitational force between them will increase.  </h2>

Acid mine drainage is:
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.

Explanation:

Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.

Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.

The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.
