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

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

A large raindrop-the type that lands with a definite splat-has a mass of 0.0014 g and hits your roof at a speed of 8.1 m/s. a. W
DENIUS [597]

Answer

given,

mass of the drop, m = 0.0014 g

speed of the drop, u = 8.1 m/s

a) Change in momentum is equal to impulse

   final velocity of the drop, v = 0 m/s

   J = m ( v - u )

   J = 0.0014 x 10⁻³ x ( 0 - 8.1 )

   J = -1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s

impulse of the roof = - J = 1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s

b) time, t = 0.37 m s

   impact of force = ?

  we know

     J = F x t

   1.134 x 10⁻⁵ = F x 0.37 x 10⁻³

     F =  0.031 N

the magnitude of the force of the impact is equal to F =  0.031 N

A gas sample is held at constant pressure. The gas occupies 3.62 L of volume when the temperature is 21.6°C. Determine the tempe
Serhud [2]

Answer:

281 K

Explanation:

Charles's Law. V1/T1 = V2/T2.

The temperature must be in K = 21.6°C + 273 = 294.6K.

V1T2 = V2T1.

3.62L x T2 = 3.45L x 294.6K

T2 = (3.45 x 294.6) / 3.62 = 1016.4 / 3.62 = B): 281K.

(By direct proportion of volume change: (3.45L / 3.62L) x 294.6K = 281K).

(99 POINTS) While driving her new Camaro at 20.0 m/s down a four-lane highway, Jessica comes up behind a slow-moving dump truck
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

To go from 20.0 to 30.0 m/s, that is a velocity change of 10.0 m/s.

From the definition of acceleration,

a = (velocity change)/(time required)

In this case you know that a = 5.0 m/s^2, so

time = (10.0 m/s)/(5.0 m/s^2)

= 2.0 seconds

How you can prevent thermal energy from moving by conduction, convection, and radiation?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Using insulating materials is the best way to prevent heat transfer by conduction and convection. Insulating materials are poor conductors of thermal energy and also limit the movement of air in spaces, reducing convection. Insulation slows the rate at which unwanted energy enters the home in the summer.

Explanation:

Easy peasy.
