Since there are no choices, then this question calls for open-ended answers. Facts-based science must have proven underlying laws that support inferences such as Coulomb's Law, Kinetic Theory of Matter and many more. On the other hand, examples of science that focus on personal belief is philosophy. This depends on the perspective of known philosophers. An example would be Sigmund Freud who proposed the theory of 3 personalities. Although it is more on personal beliefs, this is used as a foundation in the study of psychology.
The emerging velocity of the bullet is <u>71 m/s.</u>
The bullet of mass <em>m</em> moving with a velocity <em>u</em> has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed <em>v</em> when it emerges from the block.
If the block exerts a resistive force <em>F</em> on the bullet and the thickness of the block is <em>x</em> then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v<em>₁.</em>
Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v<em>₁.</em>

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s
Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)
First runner: KE = (1/2) (45kg) (49 m/s) = 1,102.5 Joules
Second runner: KE = (1/2) (93kg) (9 m/s) = 418.5 Joules
The <em>first runner </em><em>has 163</em>% more kinetic energy than the second runner has.
The speed of the sound wave in the medium, given the data is 3900 m
<h3>Velocity of a wave </h3>
The velocity of a wave is related to its frequency and wavelength according to the following equation:
Velocity (v) = wavelength (λ) × frequency (f)
v = λf
With the above formula, we can obtain the speed of the sound wave. Details below:
<h3>How to determine speed of the sound wave</h3>
The speed of the wave can be obtained as illustrated below:
- Frequency (f) = 600 Hz
- Wavelength (λ) = 6.5 m
- Velocity (v) =?
v = λf
v = 6.5 × 600
v = 3900 m
Thus, the speed of the sound wave in the medium is 3900 m
