The ballistic pendulum was invented in 1742 by english mathematician benjamin robins. it consists of an initially stationary pendulum that moves after being struck by a bullet, and it is used to measure the original velocity of the bullet. the known variables are the bullet's mass m, the pendulum's mass m, and the height to which the block and bullet swing, determined by the length of the pendulum l and final angle θ. two principles of physics are necessary to solve for the bullet's original velocity. what are these principles? conservation of momentum and newton's third law conservation of energy and conservation of angular momentum grade summary deductions 0% potential 100% conservation of momentum and newton's second law. newton's second law and conservation of angular momentum. conservation of energy and newton's third law conservation of momentum and conservation of angular momentum. conservation of momentum and conservation of energy conservation of energy and newton's second law.

Animals respond in various ways to stimuli detected through their senses. some of these responses are stimulated by the presence of danger. which of these animal responses is the best example of a response to an immediate threat? a) a rooster crows every morning at the first sign of light. b) as something approaches an octopus, it shoots a cloud of ink. c) from late fall until spring, bears hibernate to preserve energy. reactivate d) a dog is getting hot in the sunlight, so he moves to a shaded area.

Abanked road comer of radius 146 m is to be constructed. if the comer is designed for vehicles moving with a speed of 20.0 m/s, what should the banking angle be, in units of degrees?
