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

Muscles use force to move objects. When using a ramp to do work, would your muscles use more force or less force?
White raven [17]
Less because the ramp is letting off force but i does depend on the way you are going on the ramp

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string
vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

The speed of a transverse wave on a string of length L and mass m under T is given by the formula

     v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string

Answer:

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of a transverse wave given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

Maximum Tension is T=10.0N

Generally making (m/l) subject from the equation mathematically we have

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

v^2=\frac{T}{(m/l)}

(m/l)=\frac{T}{V^2}

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

Therefore the Linear mass in terms of Velocity is given by

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

What is the density of a piece of wood with a mass of 25 kg<br> and a volume of 0.0385 m³?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

649kg/m^3

Explanation:

Let p be the density of this particular object.

Formula for density:

p =  \frac{mass \: (in \: kg)}{volume \: (in \:  {m}^{3}) }

We can substitute the givenmass and volume to find density of the object.

p =  \frac{25kg}{0.0385 {m}^{3} }  \\  = 649kg \: per \:  {m}^{3}

Therefore the density of this object is 649kg/m^3.
