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

A 1.5-mole sample of an ideal gas is gently cooled at constant temperature 320 K. It contracts
Alona [7]

Answer:

V₂ = 14.07 L

Explanation:

As this gas is cooled at constant temperature of 320 K, this means that we are on an isothermal process, and according to the 1st law of thermodynamics:

Q = W   (1)

And as the temperature is constant, we can use the following expression to calculate the Work done:

W = nRT ln(V₁/V₂)   (2)

However, as Q = W, we can replace heat into the above expression and then solve for V₂:

Q = nRT ln(V₁/V₂)

Replacing we have:

1200 = (1.5 * 8.314 * 320) ln(19/V₂)

1200 = 39907.2 ln(19/V₂)

ln(19/V₂) = 1200/3990.72

ln(19/V₂) = 0.3007

19/V₂ = e^(0.3007)

V₂ = 19 / e^(0.3007)

<h2>V₂ = 14.07 L</h2>

Hope this helps

Explain why in the construction of a lightning conductor one end is made into a sharp point​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A lightning conductor is made up of a sharp pointed metal (usually copper metal, as it is a very good conductor) connected directly to the ground. ... The lightning conductor is placed higher than the roof so that if lightning strikes, it strikes the conductor before it can reach the house.

Hi I need help with this question (see image ). ​
Lapatulllka [165]

Explanation:

a) <em>Fixed points</em> are the temperatures at which a thermometer is calibrated. They can refer either to the actual temperatures used for calibration, or the thermometer readings at those temperatures.

__

b) <em>Fundamental interval</em> is the difference between the fixed points. As with fixed points, it can refer either to the difference in actual temperature, or the difference in the corresponding thermometer readings.

Review 1: A plane is located x = 40 miles (horizontally) away from an airport at an altitude of h miles. Radar at the airport de
-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)

x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}

When x = 40, s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}

x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14  m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
