Movies and tv shows sometimes portray a person being thrown backwards a sizable distance as a result of being struck by a bullet. let's consider a forensics lab experiment. a 10.0-gram bullet is fired at 45 degrees above the horizontal with a velocity 378 m/s so that it immediately embeds itself into a 74.3-kg wood block that sits on a level floor. the bullet's trajectory is such that the combined mass (block plus bullet) is launched, without any rotation, also at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. neglecting the effects of air resistance, calculate the maximum distance that the block of wood (with embedded projectile) would fly backwards. based on this calculation, evaluate the realism (or lack thereof) of the typical tv/movie portrayal.

Imagine an isolated positive point charge q (many times larger than the charge on a single proton). there is a charged particle a (whose charge is much smaller than charge q) at a distance from the point charge q. on which of the following quantities does the magnitude of the electric field created by charge q at particle a's position depend? check all that apply. the type of the charge on the charged particle athe relative orientation between q and a (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the specific location of the charged particle a (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the amount of the charge on the point charge qthe specific location of the point charge q (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the distance between the point charge q and the charged particle athe amount of the charge on the charged particle a
