A 10.0 g bullet moving at 300m/s is fired into a 1.00 kg block at rest. The bullet emerges (the bullet does not get embedded in

the block) with half of its orginal speed. What is the velocity of the block right after the collision?

Answer:

v' = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the bullet, m = 10 g

initial speed of the bullet, v = 300 m/s

final speed of the bullet after collision, v' = 300/2 = 150 m/s

Mass of the block, M = 1 Kg

initial speed of the block, u = 0 m/s

velocity of the block after collision, u' = ?

using conservation of momentum

 m v + Mu = m v' + M u'

 0.01 x 300 + 0 = 0.01 x 150 + 1 x v'

v' = 0.01 x 150

v' = 1.5 m/s

Speed of the block after collision is equal to v' = 1.5 m/s

At Hoover Dam, the distance the water effectively falls before encountering the electric generators depends on the water levels
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

recall that power is energy carried out or work done per time

P=W/t

P=2*10^6*35

t=6*60=420S

W=Energy

E=2*10^6*35*360S

E=25200000000

Energy stored by water from rest is called potential energy. Since the water is falling from a height , we calculate potential energy as thus

E=M*g*h

Assume that the water intakes are effectively 175 m above the electric generators. How much water must pass through the generators to power 2 million 35-W Las Vegas light bulbs for 6.0 minutes?

M=mass of water

g=acceleration due to gravity 9.81m/s^2

h=height ,175m

25200000000=M*9.81*175

M=\frac{25200000000}{175*9.81}

M=1716.75kg

Breathing on a cold window can cause it to fog up. which change of state causes this
Dominik [7]
When you breathe on a cold window and it fogs up, that change of state is called: Condensation.

Condensation is: The process in which molecules of a gas slow down, come together, and form a liquid water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

I know this because I learned it in science class in school.

Hope I helped!

Answer:

 F = - k (x-xo) a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

Explanation:

The student wants to prove hooke's law which has the form

          F = - k (x-xo)

To do this we hang the spring in a vertical position and mark the equilibrium position on a tape measure, to simplify the calculations we can make this point zero by placing our reference system in this position.

Now for a series of known masses let's get them one by one and measure the spring elongation, building a table of weight vs elongation,

we must be careful when hanging the weights so as not to create oscillations in the spring

we look for the mass of each weight

         W = mg

          m = W / g

and we write them in a new column, we make a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation and it should give a straight line; the slope of this line is sought, which is the spring constant.

The fact of obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

A student was traveling to see his grandmother who lives 15 miles north oh his home he started from rest and maintained a pace o
N76 [4]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 15miles north = 24140.2m

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 4m/s

Unknown:

Speed, velocity and acceleration = ?

Solution:

The speed is the distance divide by time. It is a scalar quantity and has no directional attribute.

  Speed  = \frac{distance }{time}  

  The speed of the student is 4m/s

Velocity is the displacement divided by time. It is a vector quantity which specifies the direction and magnitude;

    Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

   The velocity of the student is 4m/s due north

Acceleration is the change in velocity with time;

     To find the acceleration, we use

      v²  = u² + 2as

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

     4² = 0² + 2x a x 24140.2

       a  = \frac{16}{2 x 24140.2}  = 0.00033m/s²
