Consider a rifle, which has a mass of 2.44 kg and a bullet which has a mass of 150 grams and is loaded in the firing chamber.Whe

n the rifle is fired the bullet leaves the rifle with a muzzle velocity of 440 m/s;a. What will be the momentum of the rifle immediately before the bullet is fired?b. What will be the momentum of the rifle-bullet combination before the bullet is fired?c. What will be the momentum of the bullet immediately after the rifle has been fired?d. What will be the momentum of the rifle immediately after it has been fired?e. What will be the momentum of the rifle-bullet combination immediately after the bullet had been fired?f. What will be the velocity of the rifle immediately after the rifle has been fired?g. After the rifle has been fired it comes into contact with the marksman’s shoulder and then comes to a halt during a timeperiod of 0.38 seconds. What is the average force applied to the rifle by the shoulder?After the bullet leaves the rifle is strikes a block of wood which has a mass of 5.10 kg. and is sitting on a horizontalsurface which has a coefficient of sliding friction ofm= 0.83 .h. What will be the velocity of the bullet-block combination immediately after the bullet strikes the block of wood?i. How far will the block slide along the horizontal surface before it comes to a halt?j. How much energy was lost as the bullet was lodged in the block of wood?

Answer:

a. 0 kgm/s

b. 0 kgm/s

c. 66 kgm/s

d. -66 kgm/s

e. 0 kgm/s

f. -27.05 m/s

g. 173.68 N

h. 12.58 m/s

i. 0.772 m

j. 14487 J

Explanation:

150 g = 0.15 kg

a. Before the bullet is fired, both rifle and the bullet has no motion. Therefore, their velocity are 0, and so are their momentum.

b. The combination is also 0 here since the bullet and the rifle have no velocity before firing.

c. After the bullet is fired, the momentum is:

0.15*440 = 66 kgm/s

d. As there's no external force, momentum should be conserved. That means the total momentum of both the bullet and the rifle is 0 after firing. That means the momentum of the rifle is equal and opposite of the bullet, which is -66kgm/s

e. 0 according to law of momentum conservation.

f. Velocity of the rifle is its momentum divided by mass

v = -66 / 2.44 = -27.05 m/s

g. The average force would be the momentum divided by the time

f = -66 / 0.38 = 173.68 N

h. According the momentum conservation the bullet-block system would have the same momentum as before, which is 66kgm/s. As the total mass of the bullet-block is 5.1 + 0.15 = 5.25. The velocity of the combination right after the impact is

66 / 5.25 = 12.58 m/s

i. The normal force and also friction force due to sliding is

F_f = N\mu = Mg\mu = 5.25*9.81*0.83 = 42.75N

According to law of energy conservation, the initial kinetic energy will soon be transformed to work done by this friction force along a distance d:

W = K_e

dF_f = 0.5Mv_0^2

d = \frac{Mv_0^2}{2F_f} = \frac{5.25*12.58^2}{2*42.75} = 0.772 m

j.Kinetic energy of the bullet before the impact:

K_b = 0.5*m_bv_b^2 = 0.5*0.15*440^2 = 14520 J

Kinetic energy of the block-bullet system after the impact:

K_e = 0.5Mv_0^2 = 0.5 * 5.25*12.58^2 = 33 J

So 14520 - 33 = 14487 J was lost during the lodging process.

Difference between weightlessness in space and weightlessness in earth​
nadya68 [22]
In space we feel weightlessness because the earths gravity has less effect on us.The Earths gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earths surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the the shuttles orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

Acceleration is mathematically defined as; ΔV/t.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is defined as the ratio of the change in velocity to time. It is defined as the extent to which the velocity changes within a given time interval.

The question is incomplete so we can not arrive at the final answer. However, acceleration is mathematically defined as; ΔV/t.

The critical angle for water is 49°. If a ray of light
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Snell's Law states

Ni sin i = Nr sin r

Judging from the question the source of the ray is in the water (directed up)

or NI = 1 / sin 49      Ni = 1.325 deg     the critical angle

From inside the pond:

Nr = 1.325 * sin 45 / 1 = 94 deg  

So refraction can occur  outside the pond and you do not have total internal refection.

uppose the weights of Farmer Carl's potatoes are normally distributed with a mean of 9 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.8 ou
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

x= 9.53 ounces

Explanation:

Given that

Mean ,μ= 9 ounces

Standard deviation ,σ=0.8 ounces

He wants to sell only those potatoes that are among the heaviest 25%.

P=25% = 0.25

When P= 0.25 then Z=0.674

Lest take x is the the minimum weight required to be brought to the farmer's market.

We know that

x = Z . σ + μ

x= 0.674 ₓ 0.8 + 9 ounces

x= 9.53 ounces
