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

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 8.00 • 106 m/sec are ejected froma surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 6
Andru [333]

The kinetic energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:

\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times10^{-31})(8\times10^6)^2 \\ K=2.91\times10^{-17}\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is d.

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?
Archy [21]

Answer:

4m/s^2

Explanation:

mass(m)=20 kg

force=80 N

acceleration (a)=?

Therefore,

Force = mass * acceleration

80 = 20*a

a=80/20

=4m/s^2

Answer: oceanic crust moved over the hot spot, each recently formed volcano was carried away from the hot spot toward the northwest, cutting off its source of lava. Meanwhile, a new island was forming so that over time a chain of islands was produced extending away from the hot spot.ANSWER HERE: This mean that volcanos are producing these new islands and it is creating a chain of different islands all over Hawaii.
