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

A car was moving a 14 m/s. After 30 seconds, it’s speed increased to 20 m/s. What was its acceleration during this time?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

acceleration = 0.2 m/s/s

Explanation:

initial velocity u = 14

final velocity v = 20

time = 30

acceleration = ?

v = u + at

20 = 14 + 30a

30a = 6

a = 0.2 m/s/s

What is the current of a 10 Ohm resistor attached to a 9 volt battery?
Gnom [1K]
I'm giving you a general formula , its called ohm law it states that <span>electric current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance

if V=voltage associated with the battery
 R=resistance , I=current then
</span>\boxed{V=I*R}<span>

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

  We shall apply concept of Doppler's effect of apparent frequency to this problem . Here observer is moving sometimes towards and sometimes away from the source . When observer moves towards the source , apparent frequency is more than real frequency and when the observer moves away from the source , apparent frequency is less than real frequency . The apparent frequency depends upon velocity of observer . The formula for apparent frequency when observer is going away is as follows .

f = f₀ ( V - v₀ ) / V , f is apparent , f₀ is real frequency , V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of observer .

f will be lowest when v₀ is highest .

velocity of observer is highest when he is at the equilibrium position or at middle point .

So apparent frequency is lowest when observer is at the middle point and going away from the source  while swinging to and from before the source of sound .
