A 110. g wooden block is initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface when a 12.8 g bullet is fired horizontally into (but do

es not go through) it. After the impact, the block–bullet combination slides 6.5 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.750, determine the speed of the bullet (in m/s) immediately before impact.

Answer:

94 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

V = Speed of the bullet-block combination after collision

d = distance traveled by the combination before coming to stop = 6.5 m

\mu = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.750

acceleration due to friction on a flat surface can be given as

a = - \mu g = - (0.750) (9.8) = - 7.35 ms^{-2}

V_{f} = Final speed of the combination = 0 m/s

Based on the above equation , we can use the kinematics equation as

V_{f}^{2} = V^{2} + 2 a d\\(0)^{2} = V^{2} + 2 (- 7.35) (6.5)\\V = 9.8 ms^{-1}

M = mass of the wooden block = 110 g

m = mass of the bullet = 12.8 g

v = Speed of the bullet before collision

Using conservation of momentum for inelastic collision , we have

m v = (m + M) V\\(12.8) v = (12.8 + 110) (9.8)\\v = 94 ms^{-1}

Which image shows both potential and kinetic energy?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The one in the middle

Explanation: i listened to the other person and i got it wrong, this is the answer for edge2020 sience review on energy!!!!

trust me its the middle one!!!!!

And everyone if ur not sure, like 100% sure about an answer dont answer at all cuz for 1: ur taking up a spot for others to answer. for 2: you could make people wrong. And for 3: its annoying. And 4: it makes stuff like this happen!

<u>NOT ARGUEING IM JUST PUTTING MY THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS OUT THERE ;)</u><em> many thanks.</em>

Explain how astronomers might use spectroscopy to determine the composition and temperature of a star.
Damm [24]

Everything starts from spectroscopy. Astronomers only have concentrated information at wavelengths that are emitted from the stars. What they do with this information is to obtain the frequency range of the stars and through spectroscopes they are responsible for dividing the radiation beams and determining the coincidence with the emission of those same waves, of chemical elements. From these observation techniques it is possible to obtain the composition and according to the color, obtaining characteristics such as temperature. The spectrum of stars consists of dark and bright lines called Fraunhofer lines. This spectrum is compared to the spectrum of different elements to find the composition of the stars. This is possible because the elements emit or absorb only specific wavelengths.
