A 0.25 kg arrow with a velocity of 12 m/s to the west strikes and pierces the center of a 6.8 kg target. What is the final veloc

ity of the combined mass
Physics

Answer:20/47 meter per second

Explanation:

Mass of arrow(ma)=0.25kg

Velocity of arrow(va)=12m/s

Mass of target(mt)=6.8kg

Velocity of target(vt)=0 since target is at rest

Conservation of linear momentum says that :

maxva+mtxvt=(ma+mt)V

V=(maxva+mtxvt)/(ma+mt)

V=(0.25x12+6.8x0)/(0.25+6.8)

V=3/(7.05)

V=20/47 meter per second

At room temperature, sound travels at a speed of about 344 m/s in air. You see a distant flash of lightning and hear the thunder
beks73 [17]

Answer:

d=1.67mi

Explanation:

Assuming the light takes essentially no time to reach you, the distance at which the lightning occurred can be calculated by multiplying the speed of sound by the time it takes to hear the thunder:

d=v_st\\d=344\frac{m}{s}(7.8s)\\d=2683.2m*\frac{1mi}{1609.34m}=1.67mi

A spinning turbine at an electrical plant produces energy that flows through wires to your house. The energy in the wires can be
Anna007 [38]

The spinning turbine converts mechanical energy into electrical energy that is converted into light energy used to light up the house.

<h3>What is law conservation of energy?</h3>

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

The spinning turbine works on the principle of mechanical energy.

Thus, the spinning turbine converts mechanical energy into electrical energy that is converted into light energy used to light up the house.
