. A marksman holds a rifle of mass mR = 3.50 kg loosely, so it can recoil freely. He fires a bullet of mass mB = 10 g horizontal

ly with a velocity relative to the ground of vBx = 300 m/s. What is the recoil velocity vRx of the rifle? Find kinetic energy of the bullet and rifle right after firing and tell me which gets more kinetic energy

Answer:

bullet = 450 J

rifle = 1.3 J

So, the kinetic energy of bullet is much more than the kinetic energy of gun.

Explanation:

mass of rifle, mR = 3.50 kg

mass of bullet, mB = 10 g

velocity of bullet, vBx = 300 m/s

Let VG is the recoil velocity of gun.

By using the conservation of momentum

mass of gun x recoil velocity of gun = mass of bullet x velocity of bullet

3.50 x V = 0.01 x 300

V = 0.86 m/s

kinetic energy of bullet, KB = 0.5 x mB x vB²

KB = 0.5 x 0.01 x 300 x 300 = 450 J

kinetic energy of rifle, KG = 0.5 x mG x v²

KG = 0.5 x 3.5 x 0.86 x 0.86 = 1.3 J

So, the kinetic energy of bullet is much more than the kinetic energy of rifle.

An engineer wishes to design a curved exit ramp for a toll road in such a way that a car will not have to rely on friction to ro

Dafna11 [192]

To solve this problem we will make a graph that allows us to understand the components acting on the body. In this way we will have the centripetal Force and the Force by gravity generating a total component. If we take both forces and get the trigonometric ratio of the tangent we would have the angle is,

$T_x = nsinA = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$T_y = ncosA = mg$

Dividing both.

$tan A = \frac{v^2}{rg}$

$tan A = \frac{11.7^2}{50*9.8}$

$A = tan^{-1} (0.279367)$

$A = 15.608\°$

Therefore the angle that should the curve be banked is 15.608°

A copper wire and a tungsten wire of the same length have the same resistance. What is the ratio of the diameter of the copper w

spayn [35]

Answer:

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Explanation:

Resistance: Resistance is defined to the ratio of voltage to the electricity.

The resistance of a wire is

directly proportional to its length i.e $R\propto l$
inversely proportional to its cross section area i.e $R\propto \frac{1}{A}$

Therefore

$R=\rho\frac{l}{A}$

ρ is the resistivity.

The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).

The resistivity of copper(ρ₁) is 1.68×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

The resistivity of tungsten(ρ₂) is 5.6×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

For copper:

$A=\pi r_1^2 =\pi (\frac{d_1}{2} )^2$

$R_1=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi(\frac{d_1}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_1}{2})^2=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }$ ......(1)

Again for tungsten:

$R_2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi(\frac{d_2}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_2}{2})^2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }$ ........(2)

Given that $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$

Dividing the equation (1) and (2)

$\Rightarrow\frac{ (\frac{d_1}{2})^2}{ (\frac{d_2}{2})^2}=\frac{\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }}{\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )^2=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}$ [since $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$ ]

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{3}{10}}$

$\Rightarrow d_1:d_2=\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$
