Suppose that Paul D. Trigger fires a bullet from a gun. Will the speed of the bullet leaving the muzzle will be the same as the

speed of the recoiling gun? Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of the bullet will only be the same if the mass of the bullet is equal to the mass of the gun. This because only their momentum ( product of mass and velocity) is conserved; the momentum before the gun and pullet was fired is equal to the momentum of the recoil of the gun and the momentum of the released bullet. The smallest mass  receives the highest speed (the bullet) while the larger mass ( the gun) receives the lowest speed ( speed of recoil).

A 3kg book falls from a 2m tall bookshelf what is the speed <br><br> PICTURE included
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

39.2m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the book has right before it falls is equal to the kinetic energy in falling.

PE = KE

mgh = (1/2)mv

2gh=v

v=(2)(9.81)(2)

v=39.24m/s

A 0.59 kg bullfrog is sitting at rest on a level log. how large is the normal force of the log on the bullfrog?
ladessa [460]
<span>The bullfrog is sitting at rest on the log. The force of gravity pulls down on the bullfrog. We can find the weight of the bullfrog due to the force of gravity. weight = mg = (0.59 kg) x (9.80 m/s^2) weight = 5.782 N The bullfrog is pressing down on the log with a force of 5.782 newtons. Newton's third law tells us that the log must be pushing up on the bullfrog with a force of the same magnitude. Therefore, the normal force of the log on the bullfrog is 5.782 N</span>

A car moves forward up a hill at 12 m/s with a uniform backward acceleration of 1.6 m/s2. What is its displacement after 6 s?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The displacement of the car after 6s is 43.2 m

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the car, v = 12 m/s

acceleration of the car, a = -1.6 m/s² (backward acceleration)

time of motion, t = 6 s

The displacement of the car after 6s is given by the following kinematic equation;

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

d = (12 x 6) + ¹/₂(-1.6)(6)²

d = 72 - 28.8

d = 43.2 m

Therefore, the displacement of the car after 6s is 43.2 m
