Answer:

V = 2.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the bullet, m = 12.7 g

                                              = 0.0127 Kg

The velocity of the bullet, v = 430 m/s

The weight of the rifle, w = 25 N

∴ The mass of the rifle, M = 25/9.8

                                           = 2.55 Kg

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

                                        MV + mv = 0

Therefore, the recoil velocity of the gun

                                           V = -mv/M

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                                            V = -0.0127 x 430 /2.55

                                                = -2.14 m/s

The negative sign indicates the direction of V with respect to v.

Hence, the recoil velocity of the gun is, V = 2.14 m/s

Consider the situation||: A child pulls a sled by a rope across the lawn at a constant speed. Of the forces listed, identify whi
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Gravitational

Tension

Normal

Friction.

Explanation:

The forces acting on the sled are:

Tension: the tension from the rope, this is the force that "moves" the sled.

Friction: kinetic friction between the sled and the ground as the sled moves.

There are another two forces that also act on the sled, but that "has no effect"

Gravitational force: This force pulls the sled down, against the floor.

Normal force: This force "opposes" to the gravitational one, so they cancel each other.

These two forces cancel each other, so they have no direct impact on the movement of the sled. BUT, the friction force depends on the weight of the moving object, and the weight of the moving object depends on the gravitational force, so we need gravitational force in order to have friction force.

Then we can conclude that the forces acting on the sled are:

Gravitational

Tension

Normal

Friction.
