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

A baseball travels at a velocity of 45.3 m/s towards second base for 17 s. Calculate the displacement of the ball.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

770.1 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity (v) = 45.3 m/s

Time (t) = 17 s

Displacement (d) =?

Velocity is defined according to the following formula:

Velocity = Displacement /Time

With the above formula, we can obtain the displacement of the ball as follow:

Velocity = Displacement /Time

45.3 = Displacement / 17

Cross multiply

Displacement = 45.3 × 17

Displacement = 770.1 m

Therefore the displacement of the ball is 770.1 m

Michael Faraday was one of the first scientists to experiment with motors. How did Faraday design his first motor?
Margaret [11]
The correct option is D. 
Micheal Friday devised a wire which hanged down into a glass vessel that has a bar magnet secured at the bottom. He then filled the glass vessel with Mercury and connected the apparatus to a battery. This sent electricity through the wire, thus creating a magnetic field around it. This field interacted with the field around the magnet and cause the wire to rotate clock wisely.
