The recoil of a shotgun can be significant. Suppose a 3.6-kg shotgun is held tightly by an arm and shoulder with a combined mass

of 15.0 kg. Part A When the gun fires a projectile with a mass of 0.049 kg and a speed of 380 m/s, what is the recoil velocity of the shotgun and arm–shoulder combination? Express your answer to three significant figures and include appropriate units.

Answer:

The recoil velocity of the shotgun and arm-shoulder combination is -1.001\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

To solve this problem we are going to use the momentum conservation principle.

The total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant if the sum of the exterior forces is zero. In this case, the sum of the exterior forces is zero. Therefore we can use this principle.

The equation that we are going to use is :

m1.v1=m2.v2 (I)

Where m1 is the mass of the shotgun and arm-shoulder combination.

Where v1 is the recoil velocity of the system formed by shotgun and arm-shoulder combination.

Where m2 is the mass of the projectile.

And where v2 is the velocity of the projectile.

The mass of the system formed by shotgun and arm-shoulder combination is the sum between the mass of the shotgun and the mass of the arm-shoulder combination.

If we replace all the data in the equation (I) :

(3.6kg+15.0kg).v1=(0.049kg).(380\frac{m}{s})

v1=\frac{(0.049kg).(380\frac{m}{s})}{(3.6kg+15.0kg)}=1.001\frac{m}{s}

Now, if we consider as positive the sense of the projectile's velocity the sense of the system's velocity formed by the shotgun and the arm-shoulder combination will be negative (because is the opposite sense).

We finalize adding a negative sign to the velocity :

v1=-1.001\frac{m}{s}

Answer:

The velocity of the recoil is v=1.001 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}=m_{gun}*v_{recoil}\\m_{gun}= 15.0kg+3.6kg

The mass of th gun is the both mass the shotgun and the arm shoulder combination

m_{bullet}=0.049kg\\v_{bullet}=380\frac{m}{s} \\m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}=m_{gun}*v_{recoil}\\0.049kg*380\frac{m}{s}=(15.kg+3.6kg)* v_{recoil}\\v_{recoil}=-\frac{18.62 kg \frac{m}{s} }{18.6 kg}\\ v_{recoil}=-1.0010 \frac{m}{s}

The velocity is negative because is in opposite direction of the bullet

The 1.5kg ball is launched straight upward with an initial velocity of 7m/s. What is the maximum height it will reach?​
Temka [501]

Answer:

h = 2.5 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball, m = 1.5 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 7 m/s

We need to find the maximum height reached by the ball. Let it is be h. Using the conservation of energy to find it such that,

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}

Put all the values,

h=\dfrac{7^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\=2.5\ m

So, it will reach to a height of 2.5 m.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

In chemical compounds, atoms tends to have the electron configuration of a noble gas.

Explanation:

The noble gases are unreactive because of their electron configurations. This noble gas neon has the electron configuration of 1s22s22p6 . It has a full outer shell and cannot incorporate any more electrons into the valence shell.

The octet rule states that atoms tend to form compounds in ways that give them eight valence electrons and thus the electron configuration of a noble gas. An exception to an octet of electrons is in the case of the first noble gas, helium, which only has two valence electrons.

Why is freshly distilled or deionized water used in this standardization?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The amount of carbon dioxide is little in deionized water.

Explanation:

Deionized water is a water with little or no impurities. Impurities are in waters are not able to boil below or above the boiling point of water,and in this case are been retained in the original container.
