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.

What does a curved gradient line in a distance-time graph represent?

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

If the line is curved, the slope is changing, which also means the velocity is changing. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The more the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.

Ana kicks a stationary 0.2kg soccer ball. The ball leaves her foot at a speed of 20 m/s.

elena55 [62]

Answer:a. 24 kg m/s

b. 3/5s

Explanation:

a.impulse is the change in momentum so at first the momentum is zero because the ball was at rest and the final momentum is 1.2kg*20m/s=24 kg m/s

so the impulse would be (24-0) kg m/s=24 kg m/s

b. so the impulse equation is impulse is force *delts time

so 24 kg m/s=40N*t

t=24 kg m/s /40N=3/5 s

At some distance from a point charge, the electric potential is 635.0 V and the magnitude of the electric field is 189.0 N/C. Fi

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The distance from the charge is 3.35 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric potential, V = 635 V

Magnitude of electric field, E = 189 N/C

We need to find the distance from the charge. We know that the relation between electric field and electric potential is given by :

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

d is the distance from charge

$d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\\d=\dfrac{635}{189}\\\\d=3.35\ m$

So, the distance from the charge is 3.35 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

For a particular casting setup, the top of the sprue has a diameter of 0.030 m, and its length is 0.200 m. The volume flow rate

faust18 [17]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter=0.030 m

Length of sprue= $h_1$ =0.200 m

Metal volume flow rate,Q=0.03 $m^3/min$

Q= $\frac{0.03}{60}=5\times 10^{-4}m^3/s$ because 1 minute=60 seconds

Let 1 for the top and 2 for the bottom

$d_=0.030 m$

$h_2=0$

$A_1=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}=\frac{3.14\times (0.030)^2}{4}$

$A_1=7.065\times 10^{-4} m^2$

$v_1=\frac{Q}{A_1}=\frac{5\times 10^{-4}}{7.065\times 10^{-4}}$

$v_1=0.708 m/s$

Pressure at the top and bottom of the sprue is atmospheric

$h_1+\frac{v^2_1}{2g}=h_2+\frac{v^2_2}{2g}$

Substitute the values

$0.2+\frac{(0.708)^2}{2\cdot 9.8}=0+\frac[v^2_2}{2\cdot 9.8}$

$v^2_2=2\cdot 9.8\cdot \frac{0.2\cdot 9.8\cdot 2+0.501264}{2\cdot 9.8}=4.421264$

$v_2=\sqrt{4.421264}=2.1 m/s$

$Q=A_2v_2$

$5\times 10^{-4}=A_2\times 2.1$

$A_2=\frac{5\times 10^{-4}}{2.1}=2.381\times 10^{-4} m^2$

Reynolds number= $\frac{v_2D\rho}{\eta}$

$\eta=0.004 N.s/m^2$

$\rho=2700 kg/m^3$

Substitute the values then we get

Reynolds number= $\frac{2.1\times 0.03\times 2700}{0.004}$

Reynolds number=42525

The Reynolds number is greater than 4000 .Therefore, the flow is turbulent.
