Answer:

5.04m/s^2

Explanation:

We define the variables like this,

m_1 = 15Kg

m_2 = 4.8Kg

g= 9.8m/s^2

a= Acceleration

We know that the rate  is gived for the equation,

a = \frac{F_{net}}{m_{Total}}

a= \frac{ ( m1 - m2 ) g}{ (m1 + m2 )}

a= \frac {10.2 ( 9.8 )}{19.8} = 5.04m/s^2

Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.

the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have

11.05 = 3.5 * a
acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 =  3.16 m /s^-2

While playing baseball with your friends your hands begin to sting after you ctach several fast balls.
muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

To stop a ball with high momentum in a small-time imparts a high amount of impact on hands. This is the reason for the stinging of hands.

The momentum of the ball is due to the mass and velocity. To prevent stinging in the hand one needs to lower his hands to increase the time of contact. In this way, the momentum transfer to the hands will be lesser.

velikii [3]
The velocity is a vectorial quantity, whereas speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it depends on the direction!
As such, the velocity is changing because the direction is changing.
