The expanding gases that leave the muzzle of a rifle also contribute to the recoil. A .30 caliber bullet has mass 7.20×10−3 kg a

nd a speed of 601 m/s relative to the muzzle when fired from a rifle that has mass 3.00 kg. The loosely held rifle recoils at a speed of 1.95 m/s relative to the earth.
Find the momentum of the propellant gases in a coordinate system attached to the earth as they leave the muzzle of the rifle.

Answer:

Mg= 1.3418 kg*m/s

Explanation:

Mass of rifle

m_{r}=2.90 kg

Recoil velocity of rifle

v_{r}=1.95 m/s

Momentum of rifle

m*v_{r}=3.0kg*1.95\frac{m}{s}==5.85 \frac{kg*m}{s}

mass of bullet

mb=7.2x10^{-3} kg=0.0072 kg

velocity of bullet relative to muzzel

v_{b} = 601 m/s

velocity of bullet relative to earth= 601 - 1.95=599.05 m/s

momentum of bullet

m_{b}*m_{b}=7.2x10^{-3}kg*599.05\frac{m}{s}=4.3132 \frac{kg*m}{s}

the momentum of the propellant gases = momentum of rifle - momentum of bullet

the momentum of the propellant gases

Mg=5.655 -4.3132

Mg= 1.3418 kg*m/s

the momentum of the propellant gases in a coordinate system attached to the earth as they leave the muzzle of the rifle is 1.3418 kgm/s

The first law of thermodynamics is sometimes called
Leona [35]

Answer:

d) Law of Conservation of Energy

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only change from one form to another.

For multiple choice you can use an elimination method. If you remember the law then you know it's not A or C because "energy cannot be created nor destroyed", and it's not B because it has nothing to do with mass.

Hope this helps!

The fictional rocket ship Adventure is measured to be 65 m long by the ship's captain inside the rocket.When the rocket moves pa
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1.04 s

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

t = t' × 1 ÷ (√(1 - (v/c)^2)

here

v = 0.5c

t = 1.20 -s

So,

1.20 = t' × 1 ÷ (√(1 - (0.5/c)^2)

1.20 = t' × 1 ÷ (√(1 - (0.5)^2)

1.20 = t' ÷ √0.75

1.20 = t' ÷ 0.866

t' = 0.866 × 1.20

= 1.04 s

The above formula should be applied

A ceiling fan has three blades. The moment of inertia of a blade is 0.2kgm^2. The net torque exerted on fan blades is 8Nm. Find
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

(A) the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

moment of inertia of a blade, I = 0.2 kgm²

net torque exerted on fan blades, ∑τ =  8Nm

Torque is given as product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration;

τ = Iα

where;

α is the angular acceleration

Since there are three blades of the ceiling fan, the net torque is given as;

∑τ = (3I)α

∑τ = 3Iα

α = ∑τ / 3I

α = (8) / (3 x 0.2)

α = 13.33 m/s

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.
