A ballistics test involves firing a 10.0g bullet horizontally into a 1.50kg wood block that is initially at rest. The bullet bec

omes lodged in the block, and you determine that they move together at a speed of 5.00m/s. With this information, determine the velocity of the bullet before it entered the block.

Answer:

u= 755 m/s

Explanation:

Lets take

Velocity of bullet = u m/s

The velocity of system after collision ,v= 5 m/s

m= 10 g = 0.01 kg

M= 1.5 kg

From linear momentum conservation( because there is no any external force on the system)

Pi= Pf

m u  = ( m +m) v

0.01 x u= (1.5 + 0.01) x 5

u= 755 m/s

Distinguish between directly proportional and inversely proportional with an example of each
RideAnS [48]

Consider two variables said to be "inversely proportional" to each other. If all other variables are held constant, the magnitude or absolute value of one inversely proportional variable decreases if the other variable increases, while their product (the constant of proportionality k) is always the same.
