A 30-g bullet traveling horizontally at 300 m/s strikes a 1.0-kg block which is attached to a horizontal spring with a force con

stant of 2000 N/m and rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The spring is on the far side of the block and aligned with the direction of travel of the bullet. The bullet becomes embedded in the block and, as a result of the impact, and the block slides against the spring. How far is the spring compressed before it reverses its direction of travel

Answer:

Explanation:

Using law of conservation of momentum during collision , velocity after collision can be found .

common velocity V = m v / ( m + M )

= .030 x 300 / ( .030 + 1 )

V= 8.7378 m /s

The kinetic energy of the bullet and block will be stored as elastic energy

1/2 ( M + m ) V² = 1/2 k A² where k is force constant and A is maximum compression in the spring .

( M + m ) V² =  k A²

1.030 x 8.7378² = 2000 x A²

A² = .0393

A= .1982 m .

= 19.82 cm

Describe how to measure the internal diameter of a beaker using a Vernier caliper?​
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Hope it helps..

Explanation:

Let n be the number of the vernier scale division which coincides with the main scale division. Rotate the vernier caliper 90° and repeat the steps 4 and 5 for measuring the internal diameter in perpendicular direction. To measure the depth, find the total reading and zero correction.

demonstrate in a brief paragraph how the search to explain planetary orbits exemplifies the scientific method and then use of mo
kari74 [83]

Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

Scientists are constantly exploring the universe, looking for new planets that support life similar to the life on
Molodets [167]
The answer would be “B” because humans would need water, protection from radiation so we don’t melt or burn to death lol, and a gaseous atmosphere because we would need oxygen.

A circuit has a 10 Ω resistor connected to a 1.5 V dry cell. What is the current that can flow in the circuit?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Here is the highly detailed, arcane, complex, technical form of Ohm's Law that is needed in order to answer this question  ===>  I = V / R  .

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Current = (1.5 V) / (10 Ω)

<em>Current = 0.15 Ampere</em>

A "570-W" electric heater is designed to operate from 120-V lines. What current does it draw? If the line voltage drops to 110 V
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Watts=Volt*Amps

So A=570/120=4.75amps

If voltage drops to 110V We get A=570/110=5.(18...)amps
