Passage­I
A device that was used to measure the speeds of bullets before the development of electronic device is shown
in figure The device consists of a large block of wood of mass M, hanging from two long cords. A bullet of mass
m is fired into the block, the bullet comes quickly into rest and the bolck + bullet rises to a vertical distance h
before They comes momentarily to rest.
In the process, the linear momentum is conserved. In such a collision, some kinetic energy is dissipated as
heat; so mechanical energy is not conserved. When there is a loss in mechanical energy, the collision is said to
be inelastic. Further when two bodies coalesece, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic.

To avoid having to memorizse the names of thousands of structural units, chemists have devised rules that name
compounds on the basis of their structures. That way, only the rules have to be learned. Because the name is
based on the structure, these rules make it possible to deduce the structure of a compound from its name. This
method of nomenclature is called synthematic nomenclature. It is also called IUPAC nomenclature.
