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

(20 points) You are at the center of a boat and have been rowing the boat for a long time. You weigh only 80 kg and your 120 kg
valina [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let the first weight be m_ 1 = 80 kg

The weight of the buddy be m_2 = 120 kg

The weight of  Bubba be m_3 = 60 kg

Also, since you and Budda are a distance of 4m to each other, then the length to which both meet buddy will be:

x_1 = x_3 = \dfrac{4}{2} \\ \\ = 2

The length of the boat be x_2 = 4 m

∴

We can find the center of mass of the system by using the formula:

X_{CM} = \dfrac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2+m_3x_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{(80 \times 2)+(120\times4)+(60\times2)}{80+120+60} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{160+480+120}{260} \\ \\ \mathbf{X_{CM} = 2.923}

What are advantages and disadvantages of using a solar cooker compared to other meanings of cookings?
drek231 [11]

The advantage of using a solar cooker is that it is Eco-friendly and the disadvantage is that it can be used only under certain conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A solar cooker is used for cooking food without having to use electricity or gas. Instead, the appliance uses heat from the sun to cook food. It is used widely in by people who travel in remote areas or go on trips. But the appliance has limitations of its own too.

ADVANTAGES

  • Using it is friendly to the environment
  • It can be easily assembled without expert assistance
  • No compromise on the quality and taste of foo

DISADVANTAGES

  • Requires sun to function and prepare food
  • Cannot function in winters or monsoon when the sun isn't present
  • Does not retain heat as efficiently and quickly as compared to other cooking appliances

An electron and an antielectron (positron) each have a rest energy of 0.511 MeV , or approximately 8.2×10−14 J . When an electro
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Photon is also a particle . Hence when two particles like electron and positron annihilate to get completely changed to photons , a minimum of two photons of equal and opposite momentum and energy are produced flying in opposite direction  to conserve momentum and energy . Each photon will have same energy equal to 511 keV . It is so to conserve momentum and energy. Initially total momentum was zero so finally too total momentum should be zero.

You throw a rock horizontally out of a 7th story window. You time that it takes 3.7 seconds to hit the ground, and measure that
Nady [450]
Since we are only looking at the vertical height, we can use the free fall equation to find the height:
h = 0.5*g*t^2, where h is height in m, g is acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and t is time in seconds
h = 0.5*(9.81 m/s^2)*(3.7 s)^2
h = 67.15 m
Therefore, the 7th floor window is 67.15 m above ground level.
