Suppose a 3.5-kg shotgun is held tightly by an arm and shoulder with a combined mass of 12.5 kg. When the gun fires a bullet wit
1 answer:
Answer:
v₂ = - 1.29 m / s
, K₁ / Em = 0.996
, K₂ / Em = 0.004
Explanation:
This is an exercise for the moment, where the system is formed by the shotgun, the man arm and the bullet, in this case the forces are internal therefore the moment is conserved
Initial. Before shooting
p₀ = 0
Final. After shooting
= m v₁ + M v₂
Where index 1 is for the bullet and index 2 for the shotgun, arm and man set
The mass of the bullet is m = 0.04 kg
The mass of the set M = 3.0 + 12.5 = 15.5 kg
p₀ =
0 = m v₁ + M v₂
v₂ = - m / M v₁
v₂ = - 0.04 / 15.5 400
v₂ = - 1.29 m / s
The mechanical energy is equal to the kinetic energy, let's calculate the energy for each of the two elements
K₁ = ½ m v₁²
K₁ = 1/2 0.04 400²
K₁ = 3200 J
K₂ = ½ M v₂²
K₂ = ½ 15.5 1.29²
K₂ = 12.90 J
The total energy of the system is the sum of the energy of each component
Em = K₁ + K₂
Em = 3200 + 12.90
Em = 3212.9 J
The fraction of transmitted energy is
To the bullet
K₁ / Em = 3200 / 3212.9
K₁ / Em = 0.996
To the system
K₂ / Em = 12.9 / 3212.9
K₂ / Em = 0.004

Hello!
Recall the period of an orbit is how long it takes the satellite to make a complete orbit around the earth. Essentially, this is the same as 'time' in the distance = speed * time equation. For an orbit, we can define these quantities:
← The circumference of the orbit
speed = orbital speed, we will solve for this later
time = period
Therefore:
Where 'r' is the orbital radius of the satellite.
First, let's solve for 'v' assuming a uniform orbit using the equation:
G = Gravitational Constant (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)
m = mass of the earth (5.98 × 10²⁴ kg)
r = radius of orbit (1.276 × 10⁷ m)
Plug in the givens:
Now, we can solve for the period:
A person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision will be thrown forward because it maintains forward motion
<h3>Further explanation </h3>In Newton's law, it is stated that if the resultant force acting on an object of magnitude is zero, it can be formulated :
then the object tends to defend itself from its state. So for objects in a state of movement, objects tend to move forever. Likewise, for objects in a state of rest, they tend to remain forever. The tendency of objects like this is called<em> inertia </em>
The size of inertia is proportional to mass, the greater the mass of the object, the greater the inertia of the object.
In objects with mass m that move translatively, the object will maintain its linear velocity
When we are in a vehicle that moves forward, then we will still maintain a state of forwarding motion. If our vehicle stops suddenly, then we keep moving forward so we will be pushed forward. From this point, the use of a safety belt serves to hold back our movements so that there are no fatal accidents or collisions.
