A bullet with mass 0.04000 kg, traveling at a speed of 310.0 m/s, strikes a stationary block of wood having mass 6.960 kg. The bullet embeds into the block. The speed, in m/s, of the bullet-plus-wood combination immediately after the collision is

1.77 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m') Equation 1

Where m = mass of the bullet, m' = mass of the block, u = initial velocity of the bullet, u' = initial velocity of the block, V = Velocity of the bullet-wood combination immediately after collision

make V the subject of the equation

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m') Equation 2

Given: m = 0.04 kg, m' = 6.96 kg, u = 310 m/s, u' = 0 m/s (stationary)

Substitute into equation 2

V = (0.04×310+6.96×0)/(0.04+6.96)

V = 12.4/7

V = 1.77 m/s

Hence the speed, in m/s, of the bullet-plus-wood combination immediately after the collision is 1.77 m/s

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.
