A thin block of soft wood with a mass of 0.078 kg rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. A bullet with a mass of 4.67 g is

fired with a speed of 613 m/s at a block of wood and passes completely through it. The speed of the block is 23 m/s immediately after the bullet exits the block.
Determine the speed of the bullet as it exits the block. (m/s)

Answer:

Final speed of the bullet is 228.3 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force on the system of wooden block and the bullet

so we can say momentum of the system is conserved here

so here we can say

P_i = P_f

m_1v_1 = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

4.67\times 10^{-3}(613) = 4.67 \times 10^{-3}v_{1f} + (0.078)(23)

so we will have

2.86 = 4.67\times 10^{-3} v_{1f} + 1.794

v_{1f} = 228.3 m/s

Where is parallel circuits used?
suter [353]

Answer:

if one bulb burns out, the other bulbs in the fixture continue to operate. Other uses include an electronic OR gate, where two switches are in a parallel circuit: one of the switches must be closed for the circuit to function.

What do you mean by acceleration due to gravity? ​
likoan [24]

It is the acceleration of an object in free fall

Explanation:

When an object is in free fall, it is subjected only to one force: the force of gravity, which pulls the object downward, with a magnitude (near the Earth's surface) which is given by

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

We can apply Newton's second law to the object in free fall:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on the object

a is the acceleration of the object

m is the mass

However, since there is only the force of gravity acting on the object, the net force is equal to the force of gravity: so we can equate the two equations, obtaining that

mg = ma\\\rightarrow a = g

Which means that the acceleration of an object in free fall (acted upon the force of gravity only) is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2.

A .5kg bird is perched on its nest so that it has 50J of potential energy. how far is it off the of the ground?
pshichka [43]

It is 10.20 m from the ground.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given:</u>

m = 0.5 kg

PE = 50 J

We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:

P. E = m \times g \times h

where m is the is mass in kg;  g  is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s  and  h  is height in meters.

PE is the Potential Energy.

Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.

Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get

P. E = m \times g \times h

50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h

50 = 4.9 × h

h = \frac {50} {4.9}

h = 10.20 m

What is the amplitude of the wave shown in the diagram?
Marina86 [1]
The amplitude is from the absolute value of the 0 point on the y-axis to the highest(peak) or lowest(troph) point of the wave. In this question, 3cm is the highest and -3cm is the lowest, so the amplitude is 3cm.
