If the rifle is stopped by the hunter’s shoulder in a distance of 3.16 cm, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted on

the shoulder by the rifle?
Answer in units of N.
mass of bullet= 0.0137 kg
velocity of bullet= 546 m/s to the right
mass of rifle= 3.82 kg
recoil speed of the rifle as the bullet leaves the rifle= 1.958167539 m/s

Answer:

F = 231.77N

Explanation:

Given the following data

Distance of Hunter's shoulder (d) = 3.16cm = 0.0316m

mass of bullet (m1) = 0.0137 kg

velocity of bullet (v1) = 546 m/s

mass of rifle(m2)= 3.82 kg

Velocity of rifle (V2) = 1.958167539 m/s

Momentum = MV

Momentum is conserved

Since we are looking for the force exerted on the shoulder by the rifle

Work done = Force × distance (F×d)

The rifle possessed kinetic energy = 1/2mV²

Therefore, work done = kinetic energy

F×d = 1/2mv²

F = 0.5mv²/d

By substitution we have

F = 0.5×3.82×1.9582²/0.0316

F = 7.324/0.0316

F = 231.77N

Difference between diurnal and annual motion in two points​
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation below:

Explanation:

Annual motion describes the changes in motion of the earth around the sun. Diurnal motion can be better understood as the change in motion caused by Earths rotation at the poles.

This might not be the answer you were looking for, your question is very vague.

Is glass weigh more than wood
inn [45]
It depends how large the object is. But, if it is 2 by 4, most likely the wood sieges more than the glass. Hope this helps.
