The ballistic pendulum is an apparatus used to measure the speed of a projectile. An 8.0 g bullet is fired into a 2.5 kg ballistic pendulum bob, which is initially at rest, and becomes embedded in the bob. The pendulum then rises to a vertical distance of 6.0 cm. What was the initial speed of the bullet (in m/s)?

The mini-refrigerator fire was most likely caused by what type of wiring?

Which accounts for an increase in the temperature of a gas that is kept a constant volume

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?
