A(n) 9.9 g bullet is fired into a(n) 138 g block of wood at rest on a horizontal surface and stays inside. After impact, the blo

ck slides 13 m before coming to rest. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 .
If the coefficient of friction between the surface and the block is 0.6, find the speed of the bullet before impact. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

185.25 m/s

Explanation:

consider the motion of the combination of bullet and block after the collision

v₀ = initial speed just after the collision

v' = final speed = 0 m/s

μ = Coefficient of friction = 0.6

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

a = acceleration of the combination = - μ g = - (0.6) (9.8) = - 5.88 m/s²

d = stopping distance = 13 m

using the kinematics equation

v'² = v₀² + 2 a d

0² = v₀² + 2 (- 5.88) (13)

v₀ = 12.4 m/s

m = mass of the bullet = 9.9 g = 0.0099 kg

M = mass of the wood = 138 g = 0.138 kg

v = speed of bullet before collision

v₀ = speed of combination after the collision = 12.4 m/s

Using conservation of momentum

m v = (m + M) v₀

(0.0099) v = (0.0099 + 0.138) (12.4)

v = 185.25 m/s

A falcon can descend with a speed 250 km/h. If a falcon flies at this speed for 2.0 s and then flies a 100 m in 2.5 s, what is t
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

v= s/t

Explanation:

250 km/ h =69.44m/s

S1=2 times 69.44 ≈ 139m

Next 2.5 seconds:

S2 = 100m

Average speed:

v=139m+100m/2s+2.5s = 239/4.5s = 53.2 m/s=192km/h

Wind tends to move from<br> pressure areas.<br> low, high<br> high, high<br> low, low<br> high, low
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

high, low

Explanation:

  • Energy always flows from a higher level to a lower level.
  • It is analogous to the waterfall where waterfalls from a higher level to a lower level.
  • So in the case of the pressure of the gas, when there are any numbers of molecules in a given volume of space. The gas is said to be at high pressure.
  • When there are fewer molecules in the given volume. The gas is said to be at lower pressure.
  • Due to a large number of atoms, the high-pressure gas exerts more force on the container than the force exerted by the low-pressure gas.
  • If a hose is connected between these two containers, gas rushes from high pressure to the low pressure. Since the force exerted by the high-pressure gas is greater than that of low-pressure gas.

So, the wind tends to move from high-pressure areas to low pressure.

Longer wavelengths of light, such as _______, have ________ energy than shorter wavelengths, such as _________
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Micro and radio waves.

Lower energy.

Gamma rays.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths.

Ionising radiation os defined as the energy required of photons of a wave to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions.

The energy of the wave depends on both the amplitude and the frequency. If the energy of each wavelength is a discrete packet of energy, a high-frequency wave will deliver more of these packets per unit time than a low-frequency wave. In summary, the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy to ionise.

The velocity of a wave is directly proportional to the frequency of that wave.

c = f * lambda

Where,

c = velocity of the wave

f = frequency of the wave = 1/time

Lambda = wavelength.

From the above expression, the longer the wavelength, lambda the shorter the frequency.

Examples of waves with longer wavelengths are, micro and radio waves, while radiations with shorter wavelengths like gamma rays.
