(Answers given at the end of the chapter)
1. A block of wood is struck by a bullet. (a) Is the block more likely to be knocked over if the bullet is metal and embeds itself in the wood, or if the bullet is rubber and bounces off the wood? (b) Choose the best explanation for your prediction from among the following:
- I. The change in momentum when a bullet rebounds is larger than when it is brought to rest.
- II. The metal bullet does more damage to the block.
- III. The rubber bullet bounces off and hence it has little effect.

- Physical science Simplify please 1. Explain how the results from Parts 1 and 2 verify Newton’s Second Law. If heavier objects were accelerated by gravity at a greater rate, what result would you have expected in measuring the period of the two pendulums of the same length but with different masses for the bob? 2. How close were your results to the known value of g, 9.81 m/s2 based on your percent error? What kinds of errors could have resulted in the difference in your result versus the actual known value of g?arrow_forwardHi, I would really like some help with question 4 using the screenshot provided, thank you.arrow_forwardPlease can you help me with these questions? 1) A massive space freighter wants to accelerate at 1g. It takes time for the rocket engines to rev up, and turn up to their desired power. The freighter starts from rest, and its acceleration (until it reaches 1g) is: "refer to the picture". The captain wants to reach 1g at time t = T. What must A be, to satisfy a(T) = 1g? 2) The desired final acceleration is now 4g, with a corresponding value for A. Recall the equation in the picture. Acceleration feels like a weight, and a rapid change in acceleration feels like a rapid change in weight. You don't want a too rapid change in weight -- the derivative a'(t) shouldn't be too great. Therefore find T (in seconds) such that the maximum value of a'(t) is 1/80 m/s3. 3) Now, A = 0.6 and T = 2800 seconds. The freighter begins at rest and reaches the desired acceleration in time T. Now calculate and answer v(T) in m/s. Thank you.arrow_forward
