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.

An organ pipe open at both ends has a length of 0.80 m. If the velocity of sound in air is 340 m/s, what is the frequency of the
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

the frequency of the second harmonic of the pipe is 425 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

length of the open pipe, L = 0.8 m

velocity of sound, v = 340 m/s

The wavelength of the second harmonic is calculated as follows;

L = A ---> N   +  N--->N   +   N--->A

where;

L is the length of the pipe in the second harmonic

A represents antinode of the wave

N represents the node of the wave

L = \frac{\lambda}{4} + \frac{\lambda}{2} + \frac{\lambda}{4} \\\\L = \lambda

The frequency is calculated as follows;

F_1 = \frac{V}{\lambda} = \frac{340}{0.8} = 425 \ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the second harmonic of the pipe is 425 Hz.

A yet-to-be-built spacecraft starts from Earth moving at constant speed to the yet-tobe-discovered planet Retah, which is 20 lig
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The  time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's  frame

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between earth and Retah is  d = 20 \ light \ hours =  20 * 3600 *  c =  72000c \ m

Here c is the peed of light with value c =  3.0*10^8 m/s

The time taken to reach Retah from earth is  t =  25 \ hours  =  25 * 3600 =90000 \ sec

The velocity of the spacecraft is mathematically evaluated  as

     v_s =  \frac{d }{t}

substituting values

   v_s =  \frac{72000 * 3.0*10^{8} }{90000}

    v_s =  2.40*10^{8} \ m/s

The time elapsed in the spacecraft’s frame is mathematically evaluated as

      T  =  t *  \sqrt{ 1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

substituting value

       T  =  90000 *  \sqrt{ 1 -  \frac{[2.4*10^{8}]^2}{[3.0*10^{8}]^2} }

        T = 54000 \ s

=>    T  = 15 \ hours

So  The  time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's  frame

3.) An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes that will use the airport,
scoray [572]

Answer: 704

Explanation:Vi = 0 m/s

vf = 65 m/s

a = 3 m/s2

d = ??

vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d

(65 m/s)2 = (0 m/s)2 + 2*(3 m/s2)*d

4225 m2/s2 = (0 m/s)2 + (6 m/s2)*d

(4225 m 2/m2)/(6 m/s2) = d

d = 704 m
