A 5.75 × 107 kg battle ship originally at rest fires a 1100-kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of 550 m/s. show ans

wer No Attempt 50% Part (a) If the shell is fired straight aft (toward the rear of the ship), there will be negligible friction opposing the ship’s recoil. Calculate the recoil velocity of the ship, in meters per second, taking the firing direction to be the positive direction.

Answer:

-0.01052 m/s

Explanation:

M = mass of ship = 5.75\times 10^7\ kg

m = mass of shell = 1100 kg

v = velocity of shell = 550 m/s

u = recoil velocity of ship

As linear momentum is conserved

(M - m)u=-mv\\\Rightarrow u=-\frac{mv}{M - m}\\\Rightarrow u=-\frac{1100\times 550}{5.75\times 10^7+1100}\\\Rightarrow u=-0.01052\ m/s

The recoil velocity of the ship taking the firing direction to be the positive direction is -0.01052 m/s

Imagine a raindrop starting from rest in a cloud 2 km in the air. If it fell with no air friction at all, it would accelerate to
LenKa [72]

Answer:

2) 433 mph

Explanation:

The final velocity of the raindrop as it reaches the ground can be found by using the equation for a uniformly accelerated motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2ad

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the raindrop starts from rest)

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

d = 2 km = 2000 m is the distance covered

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2 +2gd}=\sqrt{0^2+2(9.8 m/s^2)(2000)}=198 m/s

And keeping in mind that

1 mile = 1609 metres

1 hour = 3600 s

The speed converted into miles per hour is

v=198 \frac{m}{s}\cdot \frac{3600 s/h}{1609 m/mi}=433 mph

A compact disc (CD) stores music in a coded pattern of tiny pits 10−7m deep. The pits are arranged in a track that spirals outwa
andreev551 [17]

(a) 50 rad/s

The angular speed of the CD is related to the linear speed by:

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

where

\omega is the angular speed

v is the linear speed

r is the distance from the centre of the CD

When scanning the innermost part of the track, we have

v = 1.25 m/s

r = 25.0 mm = 0.025 m

Therefore, the angular speed is

\omega=\frac{1.25 m/s}{0.025 m}=50 rad/s

(b) 21.6 rad/s

As in part a, the angular speed of the CD is given by

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

When scanning the outermost part of the track, we have

v = 1.25 m/s

r = 58.0 mm = 0.058 m

Therefore, the angular speed is

\omega=\frac{1.25 m/s}{0.058 m}=21.6 rad/s

(c) 5550 m

The maximum playing time of the CD is

t =74.0 min \cdot 60 s/min = 4,440 s

And we know that the linear speed of the track is

v = 1.25 m/s

If the track were stretched out in a straight line, then we would have a uniform motion, therefore the total length of the track would be:

d=vt=(1.25 m/s)(4,440 s)=5,550 m

(d) -6.4\cdot 10^{-3} rad/s^2

The angular acceleration of the CD is given by

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

where

\omega_f = 21.6 rad/s is the final angular speed (when the CD is scanned at the outermost part)

\omega_i = 50.0 rad/s is the initial angular speed (when the CD is scanned at the innermost part)

t=4440 s is the time elapsed

Substituting into the equation, we find

\alpha=\frac{21.6 rad/s-50.0 rad/s}{4440 s}=-6.4\cdot 10^{-3} rad/s^2
