Answer:

the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet, m₀ = 20 g = 0.02 kg

velocity of the bullet, v₀ = 250 m/s

mass of the wood, m₁ = 2 kg

velocity of the wood, v₁ = 0

Let the velocity of the bullet-wood system after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to calculate the final velocity of the system;

Initial momentum = final momentum

m₀v₀ + m₁v₁ = v(m₀ + m₁)

0.02 x 250  + 2 x 0    =    v(2  + 0.02)

5 + 0 = v(2.02)

5 = 2.02v

v = 5/2.02

v = 2.48 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s

what is an example of a environmental issue and how was it impacted by humans. please explain in detail where this issue is occu
Burka [1]
An example of an environmental issue is the acid rain in Germany. The acid rain is caused by pollution. Pollution that was caused by car putting harmful gases into the air is the main reason that there is acid rain in Germany. This is a problem because the acid rain is destroying Germany’s forests. Hope this helped!

Answer:

3kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Small Sledgehammer:

Mass:3.0

Velocity:1.5

MASS×VELOCITY=MOMENTUM

3.0×1.5= 4.5 (momentum)

Large Sledgehammer:

Mass:4.0

Velocity:0.9

4.0×0.9=3.6 (momentum)

higher momentum is the smaller Sledgehammer.

A 0.68 kg squirrel is resting on a branch 8 meters above the ground. What is the gravitational potential energy of a squirrel? A
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of a squirrel is 53.312 J.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a squirrel is 0.68 kg

It is placed at a height of 8 m above the ground.

It is required to find the gravitational potential energy of a squirrel. It is possessed by an object due to its position. Its formula is given by :

E=mgh\\\\E=0.68\times 9.8\times 8\\\\E=53.312\ J

So, the gravitational potential energy of a squirrel is 53.312 J.

What happens if all the heat energy contained in a body is removed? and what will be it's temperature?Explain​
Tema [17]

Answer:

If all the heat energy contained in a body is removed and changes in its temperature is described below in detail.

Explanation:

It moves from a body at a greater temperature to a body at a cheaper temperature. All element survives as solids, liquids, or gases. The material can transfer from one station to another if warmed or cooled. When heat is provided to a body its heat increases: When a physical body, hard, liquid. When heat is provided is stopped to a body its temperature decline.
