Two rubber bullets (each of the same mass) are fired at the same velocity towards two different blocks of equal mass. One block

is made of clay and the bullet gets stuck in it, the clay block bullet begins to move in the direction the bullet was fired. The other block is made of aluminum and the bullet bounces off the block, the aluminum block also begins to move in the direction the bullet was fired. Which block (clay or aluminum) will move with greater velocity after being struck by the bullet

Answer:

Aluminum board will move with a higher velocity

Explanation:

The velocity of the block will be higher when the impulse imparted by the bullet is higher.

In case of bullet bouncing off, the impulse imparted on the aluminum board is high and hence, it will move with a high velocity as compared to that of the clay board.

We subtract the velocity of car 1 from the velocity of car 2:
v=(30\ mph\ North)-(20\ mph\ South)
=(30\ mph\ North)+(20\ mph\ North)

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

6. A car moving in a straight line at constant speed:
ddd [48]

Answer:

D. has no overall force acting on it.

Explanation:

Why?

Because in a straight line at the constant speed means the car moving in the same velocity, which is not acceleration neither deceleration, and it cannot be on a downhill slope. So the correct answer is

<h3>→ D. has no overall force acting on it.</h3>

Any body moving with simple harmonic motion is being acted on by a force that is:__________.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Because this oscillations occur when the restoring force is directly proportional to displacement, given as

F=-kx

Where k= force constant

X= displacement
