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.

The force on the spring is F0 and it stores elastic potential energy PEs0. If the spring displacement is tripled to 3x0, determi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let initial extension in the spring= x₀

Force on the spring = F₀

Let spring constant = k

Fo = k x₀

Fn = 3k x₀

Fn /Fo = 3

PEs0 ( ORIGINAL)  =1/2 k x₀²

PEsn ( NEW)  =1/2 k (3x₀)²

PEsn / PEs0 = 9

Nancys airplane trip took 4 hour. For one-fourth of that time, the airplane flew at a speed of 880 km/h, it flew at a speed of 6
9966 [12]
So for a minute lets ignore the 880 km/h. If it took 4 hours and she flew at 600 km/h 600*4=2400. Now lets Look at the 880 bit. If it took 4 hours and she where to fly at 880 it would've been 880*4=3520. Lets do 2400-600=1800, now we've got the 600 kmh bit done. Now lets see if you fly 880 km/h for one hour then you add 1800+880=2680.

How does stress influence our immune system?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

When you experience prolonged stress, your body needs those T-cells and white blood cells, and unfortunately, cortisol continues to suppress them, thus weakening your immune system over time.

Explanation:

Stress, Illness and the Immune System. ... When we're stressed, the immune system's ability to fight off antigens is reduced. That is why we are more susceptible to infections. The stress hormone corticosteroid can suppress the effectiveness of the immune system
