Homework Statement
In a large water tank experiment, water waves are generated with straight, parallel wave fronts, 3.00 m apart. The wave fronts pass through two openings 5.00 m apart in a long board. The end of the tank is 3.00 m beyond the board. Where would you stand, relative to the...
Okay I see what your saying, so using conservation of momentum i get that both the block and bullet are going 46.2m/s FWD. If i use that final velocity to find force I get -66 N [FWD], which is still a negative.
I get 46.2m/s (fwd) for the velocity of the block and bullet using conservation of momentum, and with that i still get -66N fwd. But I think you use the velocity of the bullet relative to the block, which is still 0 because it's inside of it.
Homework Statement
A bullet with a mass of 0.045 kg is shot at 560m/s fwd, and it gets dislodged in a stationary block that is 0.5kg.
The collision lasts 0.35 seconds. What is the force imparted by the bullet on the block?

Thank you. I made a chart saying there is a (1/2)(1/6) = 1/12 chance to win $10, and that there is a (1/2)(3/6)(1/12) = 1/48 chance to win $100
after multiplying the prizes and subtracting the starting fees ($20) I got $-17.083333 per play.
I designed this game for my Data class but I'm having a lot of trouble calculating the expected profit per play of this game. We have taken up examples involving lottery tickets in which you have to calculate the profit and winning per ticket bought but I can't seem to apply the same concepts to...
