Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Rainwater cannot be absorbed by some surfaces. This prevents these water from infiltrating and traveling through this area, taking with it the potential pollutants that it may present, such as sediment, remains of fertilizers, bacteria, animal waste, pesticides, metals, among others. This causes a process that we can call Diffuse Pollution and can cover large areas and even bodies of water.

A bullet with a mass of 0.00658 kg is fired through a 1.95 kg block of wood on a frictionless surface. The initial speed of the

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The final velocity of the block is 1.29 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision. Therefore, we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2$

where:

$m_1 = 0.00658 kg$ is the mass of the bullet

$u_1 = 822 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the bullet

$v_1 = 439 m/s$ is the final velocity of the bullet

$m_2 = 1.95 kg$ is the mass of the block

$u_2 = 0$ is the initial velocity of the block

$v_2$ is the final velocity of the block

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v2, we find:

$v_2 = \frac{m_1 u_1 - m_1 v_1}{m_2}=\frac{(0.00658)(822)-(0.00658)(439)}{1.95}=1.29 m/s$

The force will be zero if the wagons are moving at a constant speed (i.e. not accelerating), as there is no frictional force to overcome. If the wagons are accelerating, the force will be proportional to the acceleration, and 20% of the force applied by A.

1) Do > 2f

Do means object distance

2f means 2 x focal length

2 x focal length = radius of curvature

When an object is placed beyond the radius of curvature, a real image is formed between the radius of curvature and focus. The image size is reduced. The sketch is shown below
