A4.86 g bullet traveling horizontally with a speed of 306 m/s is fired into a wooden block with mass 1.37 kg, initially at rest on a level frictionless surface. the bullet takes 0.221 ms to pass through the block and emerges with its speed reduced to 147 m/s. a. how fast is the block moving just after the bullet emerges from it?

The block is moving 0.564 m/s after the bullet emerges it.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the bullet m = 4.86 grams = 0.00486 kg

Initial speed of the bullet u = 306 m/s

Mass of the wooden block m' = 1.37 kg

Final speed of the bullet v = 147 m/s

Initial speed of the block u'= 0 m/s

Final speed of the block = v'

Step 2: conservation law of momentum

mu + m'u' = mv + m'v'

0.00486*306 + 1.37 * 0 = 0.00486*147 + 1.37*v'

1.48716 = 0.71442‬ + 1.37 v'

0.77274 = 1.37 v'

v' = 0.564 m/s

The block is moving 0.564 m/s after the bullet emerges it.

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.

the rearrangement of particles in a physical change. hope this
