Answer:
Momentum must be conserved in the collision.
The steel block must move faster after the collision to preserve momentum.
If the steel block is moving faster it will aso have more kinetic energy.
(Note; If the bullet hits the steel block it will have some momentum in the reverse direction and thus have a greater change in total momtntum than the bullet that becomes imbedded in the wood block)
Metal would be a better conductor cause electricity can travel easier through it
A mechanical wave such as sound needs a medium to travel through. This is why they say that in space, no one can hear you scream (because space is a vacuum and no medium exists). On the contrary, light can exist in wave or particle form. This is why we have the ability to see beyond the realms of the Earth.
Answer:
By convention a negative torque leads to clockwise rotation and a positive torque leads to counterclockwise rotation.
here weight of the child =21kgx9.8m/s2 = 205.8N
the torque exerted by the child Tc = - (1.8)(205.8) = -370.44N-m ,negative sign is inserted because this torque is clockwise and is therefore negative by convention.
torque exerted by adult Ta = 3(151) = 453N , counterclockwise torque.
net torque Tnet = -370.44+453 =82.56N , which is positive means counterclockwise rotation.
b) Ta = 2.5x151 = 377.5N-m
Tnet = -370.44+377.5 = 7.06N-m , positive ,counterclockwise rotation.
c)Ta = 2x151 = 302N-m
Tnet = -370.44+302 = -68.44N-m, negative,clockwise rotation.
