The recoil momentum of the rifle is (3) 20 kg-m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the bullet-rifle system must be conserved before and after the shot, in absence of external forces.

Before the shot, the total momentum of the system is zero, since both the bullet and the rifle are at rest:

p=0 (1)

After the shot, the total momentum of the system is:

p=p_1 + p_2 (2)

where :

p_1 = 20 kg m/s is the momentum of the bullet after the shot

p_2 is the recoil momentum of the rifle

Since momentum is conserved, (1) = (2):

0=p_1 + p_2

Therefore we can find p_2:

p_2 = -p_1 = -20 kg m/s

where the negative sign tells that the direction is opposite to the momentum of the bullet.

A generator makes electricity from _____ A. Chemical reactions B. Friction C. Kinetic energy D. Heat
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The answer is C. Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Generators don't actually create electricity. Instead, they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit.

Assume a small 11 kg crate is attached to a parachute. The chute pulls up on the crate with 150 N.
MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

a. The net force is the upward force of the chute minus the weight of the crate.

∑F = F − mg

∑F = 150 N − (11 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

∑F = 42.2 N

b. From Newton's second law, the net force equals the mass times acceleration:

∑F = ma

42.2 N = (11 kg) a

a = 3.84 m/s²

c. Acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.  Assuming the crate is released from rest:

v = at + v₀

v = (3.84 m/s²) (5 s) + (0 m/s)

v = 19.2 m/s
