Answer:

The velocity of the gun relative to the ground is 19.66 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the gun, M = 15.0 kg

The mass of the bullet, m = 50 g

The velocity of the train, v = 75 km/h

= 20.83 m/s

The velocity of bullet relative to train, V' = 350 m/s

The velocity of bullet relative to ground, V = 350 + 20

= 370 m/s

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

Mv' + mV' = 0

$v' = -\frac{mV'}{M}$

$v' = -\frac{0.050\times 350}{15}$

= -1.17 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the gun with,

v₀ = V + v'

= 20.83 - 1.17

= 19.66 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the gun relative to the ground is 19.66 m/s

Maurinko [17]

Answer:0.318 revolutions

Explanation:

Given

Initially Propeller is at rest i.e. $\omega _0=0 rad/s$

after $t=10 s$

$\omega =10 rad/s$

using $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

$10=0+\alpha \cdot 10$

$\alpha =1 rad/s^2$

Revolutions turned in 2 s

$\theta =\omega _0t+\frac{\alpha t^2}{2}$

$\theta =0+\frac{1\times 2^2}{2}$

$\theta =2 rad$

To get revolution $\frac{\theta }{2\pi }$

= $\frac{2}{2\pi}=0.318\ revolutions$

omeli [17]

pavement is defined as the surface of Road or sidewalk.

for example, the surface of Expressway.

There are two types of pavement.

rigid pavement which consists of one layer.

flexible pavement which consist of multiple layers.

While driving on roads of rural areas, if our right wheel moves off the pavement, we should always hold the steering wheel firmly and then take our foot off the pedal, then apply brake lightly until we are moving at a low speed.

if you run off the pavement, you should: turn the steering wheel quickly toward the road steer straight and slow down before attempting to return to the pavement steer straight ahead and speed up apply the brakes hard

A baseball pitcher throws a ball horizontally at a speed of 34.0 m/s. A catcher is 18.6 m away from the pitcher. Find the magnit

Sidana [21]

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the description of the movement through the kinematic trajectory equations, which include displacement, velocity and acceleration.

The trajectory equation from the motion kinematic equations is given by

$y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0$

Where,

a = acceleration

t = time

$v_0$ = Initial velocity

$y_0$ = initial position

In addition to this we know that speed, speed is the change of position in relation to time. So

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

x = Displacement

t = time

With the data we have we can find the time as well

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

$t = \frac{x}{v}$

$t = \frac{18.6}{34}$

$t = 0.547s$

With the equation of motion and considering that we have no initial position, that the initial velocity is also zero then and that the acceleration is gravity,

$y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0$

$y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2+0+0$

$y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2} 9.8*0.547^2$

$y = 1.46m$

Therefore the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher is 1.46m.
