How do the accelerations of the rifle and bullet compare?

Physics

Answer:

The acceleration of the rifle equals the force that the bullet exerts on the rifle divided by the mass of the rifle. The two forces are equal, but since the mass of the rifle is much greater than the mass of the bullet, the acceleration of the rifle is much less than the bullet's acceleration.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:F=4F

Explanation: Columbs law states that The force between the two point charges is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them

Force between the two charges is given by

F=K*q1*q2/r^2

if one charge become 4 times, new force is,

F=4(K*q1*q2)/r^2

F=4F

Where q1 and q2 are the point charges

r is the distance between the two charges

K is a constant of proportion called electrostatic force

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time–when they\'re not sleep

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

mice total momentum (-0.000250, 0.00639) Kg m

Explanation:

To calculate the moment of the mice we must multiply their mass by their velocities, remember that the moment is a vector quantity, so we use the components of velocity

mouse 1

m1 = 0.0225 Kg

V1 = (0.869, -0.283) m / s

Px = m Vx

Px1 = 0.0225 0.869

Px1 = 0.01955 Kg m

Py = m Vy

Py1 = 0.0225 (-0.283)

Py1 = -0.006368 Kg m

P1 = (0.0196, -0.00637) Kg m

Mouse 2

m2 = 0.0223 Kg

Px2 = 0.0223 (-0.883) = -0.0196 Kg m

Py2 = 0.0223 (-0.253) = -0.00564 Kg m

P2 = (-0.0196, -0.00564) Kg m

Mouse 3

m3 = 0.0197

Px3 = 0.0197 0.345 = 0.00680 Kg m

Py3 = 0.0197 0.803 = 0.0158 Kg m

P3 = (0.00680, 0.0158) Kg m

Mouse4

m4 = 0.0127 Kg

Px4 = 0.0127 (-0.555) = -0.00705 Kg m

Py4 = 0.0127 0.205 = 0.00260 Kg m

P4 = (-0.00705, 0.00260) Kg m

To find the total momentum we must add each component of the individual moments

Px = Px1 + Px2 + Px3 + Px4

Py = py1 + Py2 + Py3 + Py4

Px = 0.0196 -0.0196 +0.00680 -0.00705

Px = -0,000250 Kg m

Py = -0.00637 -0.00564 +0.0158 +0.00260

Py = 0.00639 Kg m

P = (-0.000250, 0.00639) Kg m

Sasha sits on a horse on a carousel 3.5 m from the center of the circle. She makes a revolution once every 8.2 seconds. What is

Leokris [45]

Answer: 2.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Period (T) = 8.2 seconds

Radius = 3.5 m

The tangential speed is given as:

V = Radius × ω

ω = angular speed = (2 × pi) / T

ω = (2 × 22/7) / 8.2

ω = 6.2857142 / 8.2

ω = 0.7665505

Therefore, tangential speed (V) equals;

r × ω

3.5 × 0.7665505 = 2.6829268 m/s

2.7 m/s

What principle is responsible for alternating light and dark bands when light passes through two or more narrow slits? What prin

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Interference

Explanation:

When two waves of same frequency and constant phase difference super impose at a point on the screen then due to their superposition we will get different intensity of light at different positions of the screen

This phenomenon of redistribution of energy is known as interference of light.

So at the position of screen where the light intensity is maximum on the screen is known as constructive interference while the positions on the screen where it will get minimum intensity on the screen is known as destructive interference of the light

So correct answer would be

Interference
