Answer:
Momentum of bullet
momentum of baseball
Explanation:
As we know that momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity
here we know that
mass of the bullet = 8 gram
velocity of bullet = 340 m/s
momentum of the bullet is given as
Now we have
mass of baseball = 0.2 kg
velocity of baseball = 40 m/s[/tex]
momentum of baseball is given as
We use the formula,
Here, h is the variable represents the height of the flare in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.
Substituting these values in above equation, we get
.
Here, t= 0 neglect because it is the time when the flare is launched.
Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.
