The total momentum is unchanged according to the law of conservation of momentum. When the gun is fired, the bullet gains a high velocity forward (positive velocity), and that velocity multiplied by its mass is the momentum the bullet gains. Therefore, the gun must gain a momentum backwards to cancel out that momentum forward, so the gun recoils back with a negative velocity.

When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for
uysha [10]

Answer:

F=5449 N

Explanation:

Work done is a product of force and displacement ie

Work done, W, = Force*Displacement

Power, P, is Work done/Time

P=\frac {W}{t}=\frac {FS}{t} where P is power, W is work done, F is force, S is displacement and t is time

In this case, F is the frictional force. Converting the power from hp to W, we multiply by 746 hence P=746*168=125328  W

Since displacement/time is velocity, then

P=FV where V is velocity in m/s

Making F the subject

F=\frac {P}{V}

F=\frac {125328}{23}=5449.043478  N

F=5449 N

How would the self-inductance, l, of a coil change if you would increase its radius by a factor of two and increase its length b
pochemuha

The self-inductance of a coil will change by 8 times its original value by increasing its radius value by 2 and increasing the length of the coil by 2.

Self-Inductance: -

The definition of self-inductance is the induction of a voltage in a wire that carries current when the current in the wire is changing. In the instance of self-inductance, the circuit itself induces a voltage through the magnetic field produced by a changing current.

We know that the self-inductance of the coil is denoted by: -

L= µ *π*(r)^2*(N)^2*l

Where

L= Self-Inductance of the coil

µ= Magnetic Permeability Constant

r= Radius of the coil

l= Length of the coil

N= Number of turns of the coil

Here Self-inductance of the coil is directly proportional to the length of the coil and the square of the radius of the coil.

So,

On increasing the radius of the coil by a factor of 2 and the length of the coil by 2 the self-inductance of the coil increases by 8 times its original value.

You are designing a simple elevator system for an old warehouse that is being converted to loft apartments. A 22,500-N elevator
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

A) mass = 3121.58 kg

B) tension = 25940.37 N

C) tension = 25940.37 N (tension on both sides will be the same)

Explanation:

Weight of elevator = 22500 N

Distance = 6.75 m

Time = 3 sec

Since it started from rest, initial speed is zero.

Using Newton's equation of motion we have,

S = ut + 0.5at^2

S = distance covered = 6.75 m

t = time = 3 s

a = acceleration upwards

u = initial velocity = 0

Substituting values, we have,

6.75 = 0(3) + (0.5 x a x 3^2)

6.75 = 4.5a

a = 6.75/4.5 = 1.5 m/s^2 (acceleration of the elevator upwards)

Mass of the elevator = Weight/g

Where g = acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s

Mass = 22500/9.81 = 2293.58 kg

From the image below we solve from

T - 22500 = ma

T - 22500 = 2293.58 x 1.5

T - 22500 = 3440.37

T = 3440.37 + 22500 = 25940.37 N (this is the tension on the rope)

On the other side,

mg - T = ma

9.81m - 25940.37 = 1.5m

(9.81 - 1.5)m = 25940.37

8.31m = 25940.37

m = 3121.58 kg (mass of counter weight)

See image below
