I believe the answer would be A that you move the lever away from you to load the rifle (I know since I had such a rifle). This action places a shell into the firing chamber so that it is ready to fire so makes it convenient to re-load unlike where a shell must be placed in the chamber by hand each time such as is the case with many 0.22 rifles.

A force vector F1 points due east and has a magnitude of 200N. A second force F2 is added to F1. The resultant of the two vector

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The second vector $\vec{F_2}$ points due West with a magnitude of 600N

Explanation:

The original vector $\vec{F_1}$ points with a magnitude of 200N due east, the Resultant vector $\vec{R}$ points due west (that's how east/west direction can be interpreted, from east to west) with a magnitude of 400N. If we choose East as the positive direction and West as the negative one, we can write the following vectorial equation:

$\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}\implies\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}-\vec{F_1}=-400N-200N=-600N$

With the negative sign signifying that the vector points west.

The World-War II battleship U.S.S Massachusetts used 16-inch guns whose barrel lengths were 15 m long. The shells each of mass 1

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is 23437500 newtons.

Explanation:

Let suppose that shells are not experiencing any effect from non-conservative forces (i.e. friction, air viscosity) and changes in gravitational potential energy are negligible. The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel can be estimated by Work-Energy Theorem, represented by the following formula:

$F\cdot \Delta s = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2})$ (1)

Where:

$F$ - Explosive force, measured in newtons.

$\Delta s$ - Barrel length, measured in meters.

$m$ - Mass of the shell, measured in kilograms.

$v_{o}$ , $v_{f}$ - Initial and final speeds of the shell, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m = 1250\,kg$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{f} = 750\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\Delta s = 15\,m$ , then the explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is:
