A machine gun fires 50-g bullets at the rate of 4 bullets per second. The bullets leave the gun at a speed of 1000 m/s. What is

the average recoil force experienced by the machine gun?

TEA [102]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

Explanation:

We have give mass of each bullet m = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

There are 4 bullets

So mass of 4 bullets = 4×0.05 = 0.2 kg

Initial speed of the bullet u = 0 m/sec

And final speed of the bullet v = 1000 m/sec

So change in momentum P=m(v-u)=0.2\times (1000-0)=200kgm/sec

Time is given per second so t = 1 sec

We know that force is equal to rate of change of momentum

So force will be equal to F=\frac{200}{1}=200N

So average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

If a sound waves frequency is 100Hz. what is its period
agasfer [191]

Period = (1/frequency) .

If frequency is 100 per second, then

     Period = (1) / (100 per second)  =  0.01 second .

A 48.9 kg meteor is moving in outer space. If a 8.6 N force is applied opposite the direction of motion, what is the deceleratio
nalin [4]

Answer:

The deceleration is 0.18 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!

Using Newton´s second law, we can calculate the deceleration:

∑F = m · a

Where:

∑F = the sum of all forces in a given direction.

m = mass of the object.

a = acceleration.

Solving for a:

∑F/m = a

The only force acting on the meteor is the applied force of 8.6 N. So, the acceleration will be:

8.6 N / 48.9 kg = a

a = 0.18 m/s²

The deceleration is 0.18 m/s² or, in other words, the acceleration is -0.18 m/s²

Have a nice day!

Charge A is sitting in an electric field you know the following information:________
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The equation that will relate all the given parameters, in other to calculate the potential energy of charge A is:

∆V = ∆U/q, ∆V is potential at charge A position, q is magnitude of charge A, ∆U will be made the subject of the relation, which is the Potential Energy of charge A. The notation "∆" show, the quantities have both in values and final values, in the electric field.(Change in Electric potential and potential energy, due to the effect of the field)

Explanation:

The potential energy of a charged particle (Charge A) in an electric field depends on the magnitude of the charge(Known as stated in the question). However, the potential energy per unit charge has a unique value at any point in the electric field.
