Answer:

3.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

mu+m'u' = mv+m'v'............................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the bullet, m' = mass of the watermelon, u = initial velocity of the bullet, u' = initial velocity of the watermelon, v =  final velocity of the bullet, v' = final velocity of the watermelon.

make v' the subject of the equation,

v' = (mu+m'u'-mv)/m'....................... Equation 2

Given: m = 25 g = 0.025 kg, u = 220 m/s, m' = 2.25 kg, u' = 0 m/s ( at rest), v = 110 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

v' =[ (0.025×220) +(2.25×0)+(0.025×110)]/2.25

v' = 3.67 m/s.

Hence the velocity of the watermelon = 3.67 m/s

If an unknown element has a mass of 17 and contains 6 neutrons, how many protons does it have ?
lbvjy [14]

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

17 - 6 = 11

There are 11 protons in this unknown element.


Extra:

The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.


Hope this helps! :)
