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.

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.

A motorcycle is moving at 30 m/s when the rider applies the brakes, giving the motorcycle a constant deceleration. During the 3.
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the distance that the motorcycle travelled we first need to obtain the acceleration rate that was used to brake the vehicle. We do that by using the following formula:

a = (V_final - V_initial)/(t) = (15 - 30)/(3.1) = -4.84 m/s^2

The distance is given by the following formula:

S = (V_final^2 - V_initial^2)/(2*a)

S = (15^2 - 30^2)/[2*(-4.84)] = (225 - 900)/(-9.68) = -675/(-9.68) = 69.73 m

The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.

1. Calculati greutatea unui sac cu 5 kg de cartofi într-o zonă in care acceleratia gravitatională
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

the weight is 49.1 N

Explanation:

The computation of the weight is shown below:

As we know that

= 5kg of potatoes × gravitational acceleration

= 5kg of potatoes × 9.82 m/s

= 49.1 N

Hence, the weight is 49.1 N

We simply applied the above formula in order to determine the weight

A tourist being chased by an angry bear is running in a straight line toward his car at a speed of 3.9 m/s. The car is a distanc
sammy [17]
If it takes t seconds to reach the car, then the distance d is 3.9t.

The bear's distance from the tourist's starting point is
6t-23

For maximum d, we set the equations equal to each other:
3.9t=6t-23
\Rightarrow -2.1t=-23
\Rightarrow t=\frac{23}{2.1}
so the distance is
d=3.9(\frac{23}{2.1})\approx42.741\ m
