Answer:
0.358Kg
Explanation:
The potential energy in the spring at full compression = the initial kinetic energy of the bullet/block system
0.5Ke^2 = 0.5Mv^2
0.5(205)(0.35)^2 = 12.56 J = 0.5(M + 0.0115)v^2
Using conservation of momentum between the bullet and the block
0.0115(265) = (M + 0.0115)v
3.0475 = (M + 0.0115)v
v = 3.0475/(M + 0.0115)
plugging into Energy equation
12.56 = 0.5(M + 0.0115)(3.0475)^2/(M + 0.0115)^2
12.56 = 0.5 × 3.0475^2 / ( M + 0.0115 )
12.56 = 0.5 × 9.2872/ M + 0.0115
12.56 = 4.6436/ M + 0.0115
12.56 ( M + 0.0115 ) = 4.6436
12.56M + 0.1444 = 4.6436
12.56M = 4.6436 - 0.1444
12.56 M = 4.4992
M = 4.4992÷12.56
M = 0.358 Kg
It is D, you can not replace minerals. This makes them valuable.
This is another time to look at Newton's 2nd law of motion:
Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
If the object is not moving, then its acceleration is certainly zero, and Newton's law looks like this:
Net Force = (mass) x (zero)
or Net Force = (zero) .
"Net Force = zero" means that if there ARE any forces acting on the object, then they add up to zero, and we call them "balanced" forces.
So the answer is '<em>yes</em>', and that's why.
It can be measured by an ammeter.
