Answer:

12294.31 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum = (mass)(velocity)

Momentum before = Momentum after

(momentum of bullet)+(momentum of block)=(momentum of bullet and block)

0.035v+50(0)=(0.035+50)(8.6)

0.035v=430.301

v=12294.3142857m/s

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

d = 4 d₀o

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy

         W = ΔK

In that case as the car stops v_f = 0

the work is

          W = -fr d

we substitute

          - fr d₀ = 0 - ½ m v₀²

           d₀ = ½ m v₀² / fr

now they indicate that the vehicle is coming at twice the speed

          v = 2 v₀

using the same expressions we find

           d = ½ m (2v₀)² / fr

           d = 4 (½ m v₀² / fr)

           d = 4 d₀o

A bullet leaves a gun with a horizontal velocity of 100 m/s. Calculate the distance it would travel in 1.3 seconds.
salantis [7]

Answer:

130m

Explanation:

You just have to multiply velocity by the time traveled:

100m/s * 1.3s = 130m!

The equation below is for potassium oxide.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: The ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed, and remains conserved. The mass of products must be same as that of the reactants.

Thus the number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the equation so as to keep the mass same and thus balanced chemical equations are written.

K exists as atoms and oxygen exist as molecule which consists of 2 atoms. The ratio of number of atoms on both sides of the reaction are same and thus the ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2.
