Answer:c-The gravitational effect when spacecraft flies close to the asteriod

Explanation:

Gravitational effect on the spacecraft gives an estimate that how big is the asteroid by experiencing its gravitational pull.

The amount of extra thrust required to maintain the trajectory of the spacecraft during its motion hints at the scientist about the size of the asteroid.

Gravitational pull is directly proportional to the mass of object so greater the mass, greater will be the pull.

A .025 kg bullet is moving at 350 m/s when it hits and then passes through a 7 kg block of wood. After the bullet passes through

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The final velocity of the wooden block is equal to $1.035 m/s$

Explanation:

Given that mass of bullet = $m_{b} = 0.025kg$

Mass of wood = $m_{w} = 7kg$

Initial velocity of bullet = $u_{b} = 350m/s$

Final velocity of bullet = $v_{b} = 60m/s$

Initial velocity of wood = o

Final velocity of wood = $v_{w]$

Here momentum is conserved so initial momentum = final momentum

$m_{b}u_{b} = m_{b} v_{b} + m_{w}v_{w}$ .

Upon substituting these values in above equation , we get

$v_{w} = 1.035m/s$ .
