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

The turntable in a microwave oven has a moment of inertia of 0.039 kg⋅m2 and is rotating once every 4.4 s . Part A What is its k

gayaneshka [121]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Kinetic Energy, specifically, since it is a body with angular movement, the kinetic rotational energy. Recall that kinetic energy is defined as the work necessary to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to the indicated speed.

Mathematically it can be expressed as,

$KE = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2$

Where

I = Moment of Inertia

$\omega =$ Angular velocity

Our values are given as

$I = 0.039kg\cdot m^2$

A revolution is made every 4.4 seconds.

$\theta = 1 rev \rightarrow 4.4s$

$\Rightarrow \omega = \frac{1rev}{4.4s}$

If the angular velocity is equivalent to the displacement over the time it takes to perform it then

$\omega = 0.2272rev/s(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})$

$\omega = 1.42rad/s$

Replacing at our previous equation we have,

$KE = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (0.039)(1.42)^2$

$KE = 0.03993J$

Therefore the kinetic energy is equal to $3.9*10^{-2}J$

What is equilibrium?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which both reactants and products are present in concentrations which have no further tendency to change with time, so that there is no observable change in the properties of the system.

Explanation:

Equilibrium is defined as a state of balance or a stable situation where opposing forces cancel each other out and where no changes are occurring. ... An example of equilibrium is when hot air and cold air are entering the room at the same time so that the overall temperature of the room does not change at all.

The rotational inertia I of any given body of mass M about any given axis is equal to the rotational inertia of an equivalent ho

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let mass of cylinder be M

Moment of inertia of cylinder

= 1/2 M R² r is radius of cylinder

If radius of equivalent hoop be k

Mk² = 1/2 x MR²

k = R / √2

1.2 / 1.414

Radius of gyration = 0.848 m

b )

moment of inertia of spherical shell

= 2 / 3 M R²

Moment of inertia of equivalent hoop

Mk²

Mk² = 2 / 3 M R²

k = √2/3 x R

= .816 X 1.2

Radius of gyration = .98 m

c )

Moment of inertia of solid sphere

= 2/5 M R²

Moment of inertia of equivalent hoop

= Mk²

Mk² = 2/5 M R²

k √ 2/5 R

Radius of gyration = .63 R
