Answer: 909 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the bullet, m1 = 0.05 kg

Mass of the wooden block, m2 = 5 kg

Final velocities of the block and bullet, v = 9 m/s

Initial velocity of the bullet v1 = ? m/s

From the question, we would notice that there is just an object (i.e the bullet) moving before the collision. Also, even after the collision between the bullet and wood, the bullet and the wood would move as one object. Thus, we would use the conservation of momentum to solve

m1v1 = (m1 + m2) v, on substituting, we have

0.05 * v1 = (0.05 + 5) * 9

0.05 * v1 = 5.05 * 9

0.05 * v1 = 45.45

v1 = 45.45 / 0.05

v1 = 909 m/s

Thus, the original velocity of the bullet was 909 m/s

__________ research is designed to measure the association between variables that are not manipulated by the researcher.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Option c. Correlational

Explanation:

Correlational research is basically a method of carrying out a research where an experiment can not be conducted and where a researcher has to figure out that whether the two variable are in association with each other and if these are related then in what way the association between these two exists without any manipulation from the researcher's end.

It seeks to understand, measure and make assessment of the relationship or  

association between these variables but can not find out if a variable is caused by the other variable.

How can a magnetic field be produced, using a wire, a battery, and and a nail?
Aleks [24]
It is fairly easy to build an electromagnet. All you need to do is wrap some insulated copper wire around an iron core. If you attach a battery to the wire, an electric current will begin to flow and the iron core will become magnetized. When the battery is disconnected, the iron core will lose its magnetism. Follow these steps.
Step 1 - Gather the Materials
One iron nail fifteen centimeters (6 in) long
Three meters (10 ft) of 22 gauge insulated, stranded copper wire
One or more D-cell batteries
Step 2 - Remove some Insulation
Step 3 - Wrap the Wire Around the Nail
Step 4 - Connect the Battery
