If the mass of the bullet is m=27g, the mass of the pendulum is M=0.61kg, and the height they rise to after the bullet strikes the mass is h=20cm. Calculate the initial speed of the bullet, v (in m/s).

Two physics home work problems A ballistic pendulum is used to measure the speed of a fast-moving objects such as bullets. If a bullet is fired into a large block suspended by some light wires. The bullet is stopped by the block, and the entire system swings up to a height h. If the mass […]

Provide some examples outside of math class of how you could apply your knowledge of polynomials.

Everyday Polynomials Introduction Let’s Explore! Because a polynomial is only a multi-term algebraic expression, it’s not as difficult as it might seem. Polynomials typically have multiple terms, each of which may be a variable, a number, or a combination of both. While some employ polynomials more deliberately, some people use them subconsciously throughout the day. […]

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this approach to studying information, when it is useful, when it is not useful, when it is productive and what are the limits of its productivity.

Critical debates Scientists and engineers in the 1940s and 1950s worked to develop a general concept of “information” applicable across media and historical contexts. Explain whether you think one can speak of information in this manner. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this approach to studying information, when it is useful, when it is not […]
