Why is it important to keep the muzzle of a firearm pointed in a safe direction, even though the firearm's safety is engaged?

1 answer:

6 0

The correct answer is B. The safety only prevents you from pulling the trigger, but does not stop the pin from striking the primer. For example, if you drop the firearm, the pin may hit the primer and fire the firearm. It is always responsible to keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction so that if this happens, no consequences come out of it.

You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?

Triss [41]

When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.

<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>

Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
M= mass of the earth

m= mass of the person

r= separation between them.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>

According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
Acceleration= Force / M
Here, Force = GMm/r²,

so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²

As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.

Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.

A swimming pool has the shape of a right circular cylinder with radius 21 feet and height 10 feet. Suppose that the pool is full

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The water required to pump all the water to a platform 2 feet above the top of the pool is is 6061310.32 foot-pound.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 21 feet

Height = 10 feet

Weighing = 62.5 pounds/cubic

Work = 4329507.37572

Height = 2 feet

Let's look at a horizontal slice of water at a height of h from bottom of pool

We need to calculate the area of slice

Using formula of area

$A=\pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$A=\pi\times21^2$

$A=441\pi\ feet^2$

Thickness of slice $t=\Delta h\ ft$

The volume is,

$V=(441\pi\times\Delta h)\ ft^3$

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

$F=W\times V$

Where, W = water weight

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

$F=62.5\times(441\pi\times\Delta h)$

$F=27562.5\pi\times\Delta h\ lbs$

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

$W=F\times d$

Put the value into the formula

$W=27562.5\pi\times\Delta h\times(10-h)\ ft\ lbs$

We do this by integrating from h = 0 to h = 10

We need to find the total work,

Using formula of work done

$W=\int_{0}^{h}{W}$

Put the value into the formula

$W=\int_{0}^{10}{27562.5\pi\\times(10-h)}dh$

$W=27562.5\pi(10h-\dfrac{h^2}{2})_{0}^{10}$

$W=27562.5\pi(10\times10-\dfrac{100}{2}-0)$

$W=4329507.37572$

To pump 2 feet above platform, then each slice has to be lifted an extra 2 feet,

So, the total distance to lift slice is (12-h) instead of of 10-h

We need to calculate the water required to pump all the water to a platform 2 feet above the top of the pool

Using formula of work done

$W=\int_{0}^{h}{W}$

Put the value into the formula

$W=\int_{0}^{10}{27562.5\pi\\times(12-h)}dh$

$W=27562.5\pi(12h-\dfrac{h^2}{2})_{0}^{10}$

$W=27562.5\pi(12\times10-\dfrac{100}{2}-0)$

$W=1929375\pi$

$W=6061310.32\ foot- pound$

Hence, The water required to pump all the water to a platform 2 feet above the top of the pool is is 6061310.32 foot-pound.

A 3.00-kg rifle fires a 0.00500-kg bullet at a speed of 300 m/s. Which force is greater in magnitude:(i) the force that the rifl

alekssr [168]

Answer:

C. both forces have the same magnitude

Explanation:

Here the action force is equal to the reaction force in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion.

Also when we apply the conservation of momentum so that the momentum bullet and the momentum of the gun are equal and according to the second law of motion by Newton, we have force equal to the rate of change in momentum.

We have the equation for momentum as:

$p=m.v$

Newton's second law is Mathematically given as:

$F=\frac{dp}{dt}$

Momentum is constant and the reaction time is equal, so the force exerted will also be equal.
