The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a fast-moving projectile such as a bullet. The bullet is fired into a large block of wood suspended from some light wires. The bullet is stopped by the block, and the entire system swings up to a height h. It is ...

Help me with this problem i do not get it? A light wave can travel the earth to the moon in 1.3 s. the distance to the moon is 384,790 km. how long would it take a sound wave to travel the same distance at 343 m/s? state you answer in days. I got 2 days but i really think its ...

40 meters east of its current position. The distance is not needed to get that answer. However, that might be where the gun should be aimed, if it takes the bullet 2 seconds to get there (which is likely at that distance).
