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.

A uniform rod of length L is pivoted at L/4 from one end. It is pulled to one side through a very small angle and allowed to osc
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

T= 4.24sec

Explanation:

We are going to use the formula below to calculate.

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

Where T is period

           L is length of rod

       g is acceleration due to gravity =     9.8m/s^{2}

From the problem, the rod is pivoted at 1/4L which means that three quarter of the rod was used for the oscillation. lets call this L_{O}

L_{O} = 3/4 * 5.95m

        = 4.4625m

thus   T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_{O} }{g} }

          T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{4.4625 }{9.8} }

          T= 4.24sec

Answer:

serie Ceq=0.678 10⁻⁶ F  and the charge Q = 9.49 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

Let's calculate all capacity values

a) The equivalent capacitance of series capacitors

    1 / Ceq = 1 / C1 + 1 / C2 + 1 / C3 + 1 / C4 + 1 / C5

    1 / Ceq = 1 / 1.5 + 1 / 3.3 + 1 / 5.5 + 1 / 6.2 + 1 / 6.2

    1 / Ceq = 1 / 1.5 + 1 / 3.3 + 1 / 5.5 + 2 / 6.2

    1 / Ceq = 0.666 + 0.3030 +0.1818 +0.3225

    1 / Ceq = 1,147

    Ceq = 0.678 10⁻⁶ F

b) Let's calculate the total system load

   Dv = Q / Ceq

   Q = DV Ceq

   Q = 14 0.678 10⁻⁶

   Q = 9.49 10⁻⁶ C

In a series system the load is constant in all capacitors, therefore, the load in capacitor 5.5 is Q = 9.49 10⁻⁶ C

c) The potential difference

   ΔV = Q / C5

   ΔV = 9.49 10⁻⁶ / 5.5 10⁻⁶

   ΔV = 1,725 ​​V

d) The energy stores is

    U = ½ C V²

    U = ½ 0.678 10-6 14²

    U = 66.4 10⁻⁶ J

e) Parallel system

   Ceq = C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 + C5

   Ceq = (1.5 +3.3 +5.5 +6.2 +6.2) 10⁻⁶

   Ceq = 22.7 10⁻⁶ F

f) In the parallel system the voltage is maintained

   Q5 = C5 V

   Q5 = 5.5 10⁻⁶ 14

   Q5 = 77 10⁻⁶ C

g) The voltage is constant V5 = 14 V

h) Energy stores

   U = ½ C V²

   U = ½ 22.7 10-6 14²

   U = 2.2 10⁻³ J

An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

s = s₀ + v₀t + ½at²

s = 0 + 0(15) + ½(6)(15²)

s = 675 m

Not sure what the free fall acceleration is needed for, but if the object is dropped from a high enough point, it will travel in 15 seconds

s = ½10(15²) = 2250 m  if air resistance is ignored
