Imagine a car crash. A car coming at a high speed has a head on collision with a car at rest. When the car makes impact, it will move the other car with it at a slower speed then it was travelling at. In this case, the velocity decreased since the car slowed down, but the mass increased since there are now two cars moving. Momentum was conserved because the change in mass accounts for the loss of velocity.

What are stars made of?<br> How do they expand?<br> How do they explode?
lutik1710 [3]
Stars are made of very hot gas. This gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements,  star is in a delicate and fragile balance between gravity, which would collapse the star to a point, and its internal pressure caused by the energy of the nuclear fusion reaction in the core. When a star's fuel has been spent, it explodes into a giant fireball known as a supernova.. I really hope this helps!!!!

A 5.00-g bullet is fired into a 900-g block of wood suspended as a ballistic pendulum. The combined mass swings up to a height o
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The value is  KE_b =0.710 \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass  of the bullet is m_b  = 5.00 \ g  = 0.005 \  kg

  The mass  of the wood is  m_w =  900 \  g  =  0.90\  kg

   The height attained by the combined mass is  h =  8.0 \ cm  =  0.08 \ m

Generally according to the law of energy conservation    

    KE _b  =  PE_c

Here KE_b is the kinetic energy of the bullet before collision.

and PE_c is the  potential  energy of the combined mass of bullet and wood at the height h which is mathematically represented as

      PE_m  =  [m_b  + m_w] *  g *  h

So

   KE_b =PE_c   = [0.005  + 0.90] * 9.8 *0.08

=> KE_b =0.710 \ J

There are two ways to find energy. Energy=F*d=mv^2. We can use this relationship to find v:
Fd=0.5mv^{2} \\ 80*4=0.5*10v^{2} \\ 64=v^{2} \\ v=8 m/s
