Answer:

The recoil velocity of the projectile is 0.0025m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the projectile =0.005kg

Mass of the launcher = 1500kg

Velocity = 750 m/s.

To Find:

The recoil velocity of the projectile = ?

Solution:

The recoil velocity is the obtained by dividing the "recoil momentum" by the "mass of the recoil body". The recoil momentum is equal to the momentum of the other body. The momentum of the other body is equal to it mass times its velocity.

Lets find the recoil momentum,

Recoil momentum = mass of the projectile X velocity

Recoil momentum = $0.005 \times 750$

Recoil momentum = 3.75

Now Recoil Velocity,

Recoil Velocity = $\frac{\text { Recoil Momentum}}{\text {Mass of the launcher}}$

Recoil Velocity = $\frac{ 3.75}{1500}$

Recoil Velocity = 0.0025m/s

Which statement is false?

Mkey [24]

Answer:

Once you reach adulthood, you will not experience peer pressure.

Explanation:

We tend to believe that self-control comes from within, but many of our attitudes depend as much on friends and family as on ourselves. That's because at any stage of our life (even the adult stage) our friends and our family have the power to influence us, sometimes that influence is good and sometimes bad, it's up to us to reason about them.

The people around us have the power to make us fat, consume more alcohol, worry less about the environment and expose ourselves to the sun without proper protection, among many other things.

It is not simply about peer pressure, where you deliberately act in a certain way to suit the group. It is, in fact, largely an unconscious attitude. Without your awareness, your brain is constantly picking up cues from people around you to dictate your behavior. And the consequences can be serious.

A long, rigid conductor, lying along the x-axis, carries a current of 7.0 A in the negative direction. A magnetic field B is pre

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

0.546 $\hat k$

Explanation:

From the given information:

The force on a given current-carrying conductor is:

$F = I ( \L \limits ^ {\to } \times B ^{\to})\\ \\ dF = I(dL\limits ^ {\to } \times B ^{\to})$

where the length usually in negative (x) direction can be computed as

$\L ^ {\to } = -x\hat i \\dL\limits ^ {\to }- dx\hat i$

Now, taking the integral of the force between x = 1.0 m and x = 3.0 m to get the value of the force, we have:

$\int dF = \int ^3_1 I ( dL^{\to} \times B ^{\to})$

$F = I \int^3_1 ( -dx \hat i ) \times ( 4.0 \hat i + 9.0 \ x^2 \hat j)$

$F = I \int^3_1 - 9.0x^2 \ dx \hat k$

$F = I (9.0) \bigg [\dfrac{x^3}{3} \bigg ] ^3_1 \hat k$

$F = I (9.0) \bigg [\dfrac{3^3}{3} - \dfrac{1^3}{3} \bigg ] \hat k$

where;

current I = 7.0 A

$F = (7.0 \ A) (9.0) \bigg [\dfrac{27}{3} - \dfrac{1}{3} \bigg ] \hat k$

$F = (7.0 \ A) (9.0) \bigg [\dfrac{26}{3} \bigg ] \hat k$

F = 546 × 10⁻³ T/mT $\hat k$

F = 0.546 $\hat k$

Cerrena [4.2K]

The answer for this problem would be:
Assuming non-relativistic momentum, then you have:
ΔxΔp = mΔxΔv = h / (4)
Δv = h / (4πmΔx)
m ~ 1.67e-27 h ~ 6.62e-34,Δx = 4e-15 -->
Δv ~ 6.62e-34 / (4π * 1.67e-27 * 4e-15) ~ 7,886,270 m/s ~ 7.89e6 m/s
That's about 1% of the speed of light, the assumption that it's non-relativistic.
