A projectile of mass 0.2 kg and an initial velocity of 50 m/s collides with the end of a blade attached to a turbine. The rotational inertia of the turbine is 12.5 kg⋅m2 . Assume the loss of energy of the projectile in the collision is completely transferred to the blades, causing them to spin. If the final rebound velocity of the projectile after hitting a turbine blade is −25 m/s , which of the following is most nearly the rotational velocity of the turbine after the collision?

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
