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 gravitational field is the Force divided by the mass

Call g the gravitational fiel, F the force exerted by the earth and m the mass of the telescope.

g = F / m

g=9.1x10^4 N / 1.1 x 10^4 kg = 8.27 N/kg

Note that the unit N/kg is equivalent to m/s^2

In a game of pool, the cue ball strikes another ball of the same mass and initially at rest. After the collision, the cue ball m

ikadub [295]

(a) $-39.4^{\circ}$

Let's take the initial direction (before the collision) of the cue ball has positive x-direction.

Along the y-direction, the total initial momentum is zero:

$p_y =0$

Therefore, since the total momentum must be conserved, it must be zero also after the collision. So we write:

$0 = m v_1 sin \phi_1 + m v_2 sin \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) sin (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) sin \phi_2$

where

m is the mass of each ball

$v_1= 4.60 m/s$ is the velocity of the cue ball after the collision

$v_2 = 3.40 m/s$ is the velocity of the second ball after the collision

$\phi_1=28.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of the cue ball with the x-axis

$\phi_2$ is the angle of the second ball

Solving for $\phi_2$ , we find the angle between the direction of motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion:

$sin \phi_2 = -\frac{4.60 sin 28}{3.40}=-0.635\\\phi_2 = -39.4^{\circ}$

(b) 6.69 m/s

To find the original speed of the cue ball, we analyze the situation along the horizontal direction.

First, we calculate the total momentum along the x-direction after the collision, which is:

$p_x = m v_1 cos \phi_1 + m v_2 cos \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) cos (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) cos (-39.4^{\circ})=6.69 m$

The initial total momentum along the x-direction as

$p_x = m u$

where

m is the mass of the cue ball

$u$ is the initial velocity of the cue ball

The momentum along this direction must be conserved, so we can equate the two expressions and find the value of u:

$mu = 6.69 m\\u = 6.69 m/s$
