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).

There are two parallel conductive plates separated by a distance d and zero potential. Calculate the potential and electric fiel
taurus [48]

Answer:

The total electric potential at mid way due to 'q' is \frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}

The net Electric field at midway due to 'q' is 0.

Solution:

According to the question, the separation between two parallel plates, plate A and plate B (say)  = d

The electric potential at a distance d due to 'Q' is:

V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d}

Now, for the Electric potential for the two plates A and B at midway between the plates due to 'q':

For plate A,

V_{A} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}

Similar is the case with plate B:

V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}

Since the electric potential is a scalar quantity, the net or total potential is given as the sum of the potential for the two plates:

V_{total} = V_{A} + V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.q(\frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}} + \frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}}

V_{total} = \frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}

Now,

The Electric field due to charge Q at a distance is given by:

\vec{E} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d^{2}}

Now, if the charge q is mid way between the field, then distance is \frac{d}{2}.

Electric Field at plate A, \vec{E_{A}} at midway due to charge q:

\vec{E_{A}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

Similarly, for plate B:

\vec{E_{B}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

Both the fields for plate A and B are due to charge 'q' and as such will be equal in magnitude with direction of fields opposite to each other and hence cancels out making net Electric field zero.

Under favorable circumstances, including reaction time, a motor vehicle with good brakes going 50 miles per hour can be stopped
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

about 229 feet.

Explanation:

According to my research on the information provided by the drivers educational book, It is said that a motor vehicle with good brakes that is going at 50 miles per hour can be stopped within about 229 feet. This is dependent 100% on having good brakes as well as there being normal driving conditions (on pavement with no rain or other weather that may affect driving conditions).

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Which best contrasts Newton's and Einstein's ideas?
Len [333]

Answer:

Newton believed that mass tells gravity how much force to exert. Einstein believed that mass tells space-time how to curve.

Explanation:

Isaac Newton believed that bodies on earth had a force of gravity pulling them down as a result of their masses.

Albert Einstein believed that the bodies were not pulled down but were moving around in a circular sphere/manner.

This confirms Newton believing that mass tells gravity how much force to exert and Einstein believing that mass tells space-time how to curve.
