A bullet with a mass of 0.020 kg collides with a 2.5 kg wooden block at rest. After the collision, the bullet and the block travel at a speed of 1.2
m/s. What is the velocity of the bullet BEFORE 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.
