A 0.350 kg ball of clay is thrown and sticks to a 1.2 kg block of wood initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. If the clay was initially moving toward the wood with a speed of 25 m/s, then calculate the speed of the clay-block system following their collision.

Although light from the sun appears white, it is actually made up of a lot of different colors. this portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, we call white light is referred to as within the electromagnetic spectrum.

There is a theory that indicates that dinosaurs became extinct when about 65 million years ago, a large asteroid hit the earth surface. dust caused by this collision blocked the sunlight reaching the earth's surface and many forms of life became extinct due to the cold. fearing this threat, how large the radius of an asteroid should you be looking for if the dangerous asteroid size is approximately the same as the one that killed the dinosaurs? available data suggests that about 18% of that asteroid's mass ended up as a dust spread evenly over earth after eventually settling out of the upper atmosphere. about 0.0180 g/cm^2 of dust, which is chemically different than the earth's rock, covered the earth's surface. typical asteroids have a density of about 1.9 g/cm^3. now that we know the size of the asteroid, how much energy was released during impact, assuming all of it was just the kinetic energy of the asteroid right before the impact?

The image below shows numerous volcanic mountains in the pacific northwest. what is the most likely cause of the volcanic and earthquake activity in this region?
