The bullet undergoes a non-elastic collision with the block of wood and momentum is conserved. The initial momentum is 0.029 kg * 510 m/s = 14.79 kg*m/s. The combined mass of the block and bullet is 1.40 kg * 0.029 kg = 1.429 kg. Since momentum is conserved, the velocity of both combined will then be 14.79 kg*m/s / 1.429 kg = 10.34989503 m/s.
With a local gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2, it will take 10.34989503 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 1.056111738 s for their upward velocity to drop to 0, just prior to descending.
The equation for distance under constant acceleration is
d = 0.5 A T^2
so
d = 0.5 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (1.056111738 s)^2
d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 1.115372003 s^2
d = 5.465322814 m
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives a height of 5.47 meters.

Answer:
k = 2.279
Explanation:
Given:
Magnitude of charge on each plate, Q = 172 μC
Now,
the capacitance, C of a capacitor is given as:
C = Q/V
where,
V is the potential difference
Thus, the capacitance due to the charge of 172 μC will be
C = 
Now, when the when the additional charge is accumulated
the capacitance (C') will be
C' = 
or
C' = 
now the dielectric constant (k) is given as:
substituting the values, we get
or
k = 2.279
