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

Answer: B

Explanation:the voltage is just like the force that drives the current through out the circui... When trippled, the force increases and the current increases since the resistance in the circuit remains constant.

Starting from rest, the distance a freely-falling object will fall in 0.50 second is?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

1.23 m

Explanation:

The vertical distance covered by a free-falling object starting from rest in a time t is

y=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

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

In this problem, we have

t = 0.50 s

So the distance covered is

y=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(0.50 s)^2=1.23 m
