Answer:

A. <u>200m/s</u>

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum expressed as;

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses of the object

u1 and u2 are the respective velocities

v is the common velocity

Given

m1 = 1.2kg

u1 = 0m/s (block is a stationary object)

m2 = 50g= 0.05kg

u2 = ?

v = 8.0m/s

Substitute the values into the formula and get u2 (speed of the bullet before hitting the block)

1.2(0)+0.05u2 = (1.2 + 0.05)(8)

0.05u2 = 1.25(8)

0.05u2 = 10

u2 = 10/0.05

u2 = 200m/s

Hence the speed of the bullet before it hit the block is <u>200m/s</u>

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the dista
lions [1.4K]
The answer is 60 mph.

The speed (v) is distance (d) per time (t): v = d/t

Car A:
v1 = ?
t1 = 2 h
d1 = ?
___
v1 = d1/t1
d1 = v1 * t1

Car B:
v2 = ?
t2 = 1.5 h
d2 = ?
___
v2 = d2/t2
d2 = v2 * t2

<span>Two cars traveled equal distances:
d1 = d2
</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

<span>Car B traveled 15 mph faster than Car A:
v2 = v1 + 15


</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2
v2 = v1 + 15
________
v1 * 2 = (v1 + 15) * 1.5
2v1 = 1.5v1 + 22.5
2v1 - 1.5v1 = 22.5
0.5v1 = 22.5
v1 = 22.5/0.5
v1 = 45 mph


v2 = v1 + 15
v2 = 45 + 15
v2 = 60 mph

Find the period of the leg of a man who is 1.83 m in height with a mass of 67 kg. The moment of inertia of a cylinder rotating a
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Using the equation for the period of a physical pendulum, T = 2π√(I/mgh) where I = moment of inertia of leg about perpendicular axis at one point =  mL²/3 where m = mass of man = 67 kg and L = height of man = 1.83 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = distance of leg from center of gravity of man = L/2 (center of gravity of a cylinder)

So, T = 2π√(I/mgh)

T = 2π√(mL²/3 /mgL/2)

T = 2π√(2L/3g)

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T = 2π√(2L/3g)

T = 2π√(2 × 1.83 m/(3 × 9.8 m/s² ))

T = 2π√(3.66 m/(29.4 m/s² ))

T = 2π√(0.1245 s² ))

T = 2π(0.353 s)

T = 2.22 s

T ≅ 2.2 s

So, the period of the man's leg is 2.2 s

True or false the refraction of a wave is how many wavelengths pass a fixed point each second
Ksenya-84 [330]
False. That description fits the wave's 'frequency'. 
It has nothing to do with refraction.
