A 0.0250-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 550 m/s in a 3.00-kg rifle. The pain of the rifle’s kick is much worse

if you hold the gun loosely a few centimeters from your shoulder rather than holding it tightly against your shoulder. (a) Calculate the recoil velocity of the rifle if it is held loosely away from the shoulder. (b) How much kinetic energy does the rifle gain? (c) What is the recoil velocity if the rifle is held tightly against the shoulder, making the effective mass 28.0 kg? (d) How much kinetic energy is transferred to the rifle-shoulder combination? The pain is related to the amount of kinetic energy, which is significantly less in this latter situation. (e) Calculate the momentum of a 110-kg football player running at 8.00 m/s. Compare the player’s momentum with the momentum of a hard-thrown 0.410-kg football that has a speed of 25.0 m/s. Discuss its relationship to this problem.

Answer:

a) 4.583 m/s

b) 31.505 J

c) 0.491 m/s

d) 3.375 J

e)

   p_player = (110 kg)(8 m/s) = 880 kg m/s

   p_ball = (0.41 kg)(25 m/s) = 10.25 kg m/s

Explanation:

HI!

a)

We can calculate the recoil velocity by conservation of momentum, remember that p=mv.

The momentum of the bullet is:

p_b = (0.0250 kg)*(550 m/s )

The momentum of the rifle is:

p_r = (3 kg) * v

Since the total initial momentum is zero:

p_b = p_r

That is:

v = (550 m/s ) (0.0250 kg/ 3 kg ) = 4.583 m/s

b)

The kinetic energy gained by the rifle is:

K = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) *(3 kg) *(4.583 m/s)^2 = 31.505 J

c)

We use the same formula as in a), but with m=28kg instead of 3 kg

v = (550 m/s ) (0.0250 kg/ 28 kg ) = 0.491 m/s

d)

Again, the same formula as b, but with m=28 and v=0.491 m/s

K = 3.375 J

e)

p_player = (110 kg)(8 m/s) = 880 kg m/s

p_ball = (0.41 kg)(25 m/s) = 10.25 kg m/s

I believe that the kinetic energy is more related to the problem than the momentum. The relation between these two quantities is:

K = p^2/(2m)

usiing this relation, we get:

K_player = 3520 J

K_ball =  128.125 J

Therefore the kinetic energy of the player is around 27 time larger than the kinetic energy of the ball, that being said, the pain of being tackled by that player is around 27 times greater that being hit by the ball!

Why is figure 5 an unhelpful visualization tool for this data set? <br><br> Please help!

Explanation:

Because the temperature and the radiation are not correlated, they're not represented as functions of each other, they're represented as independent variables thus using graph 5 you cannot figure out how one affect another

if a current of 0.3 ampere flows through a conductor of resistance of 11.7 ohm's,the voltage across the ends of the conductor is
Gnesinka [82]

Here,

Resistance = 11.7

Ampere = 0.3

Voltage = ?

Now,

R = V/A

11.7 = V/0.3

11.7*0.3 =V

V = 3.51

Which element easily loses one electron to form a positive ion?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer/Explanation: As mentioned above, the characteristic chemical property of a metal atom is to lose one or more of its electrons to form a positive ion. However, certain metals lose electrons much more readily than others. In particular, cesium (Cs) can give up its valence electron more easily than can lithium (Li).

If the velocity of a proton is straight up (thumb pointing up) then RHR2 shows that the force points to the left. What would the
diamong [38]

Answer:

a) to the right

b) up

c) down

d) there will be no force on the proton

e) there will be no force on the proton

Explanation:

The complete question is

If the velocity of a proton is straight up(thumb pointing up) then RHR2 (right hand rule) shows that the force points to the left. What would the direction of the force be if the velocity were a)down, b)to the right, c)to the left, d)into the page, and e)out of the page?

The right hand rule for a positive charge states that...

Hold the thumb of the right hand at right angle to the rest of the fingers, and the rest of the fingers parallel to one another, and pointing away from the body. If the thumb shows the velocity of a positive charge in a magnetic field, and the fingers all point in the direction of the magnetic field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the positive charge (proton).

From this, we can deduce from the original statement about this proton that the direction of the field is into the screen of this computer. with that field direction held constant, we can work out that

a) if the thumb point down, the force will be to the right

b) if the thumb points to the right, the force will be upwards

c)  if the thumb points to the left, the force is downwards

d)  if the thumb points into the page, then there will be no force on the proton since the proton must travel perpendicularly to the magnetic field for a force to be induced on it

e) explanation is the same as foe option d.
