A rifle with a weight of 25 N fires a 4.0 g bullet with a speed of 290 m/s.

Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of rifle W=25\ N

mass of rifle M=\frac{25}{10}=2.5\ kg

mass of bullet m=4\ gm

speed of bullet u=290\ m/s

As there is no net force on the bullet-rifle system therefore momentum is conserved

0=Mv+mu

v=-\frac{mu}{M}

v=-\frac{4\times 10^{-3}\times 290}{2.5}

v=-0.464\ m/s

i.e. opposite to the direction of bullet speed

(b)Weight of Man =750\ N

Combined weight of man and rifle=750+25=775\ N

mass of man-rifle system M'=\frac{775}{10}=77.5\ kg

Now man and rifle combinedly recoil

therefore

0=(M')v '+mu

v'=-\frac{mu}{M'}

v'=-\frac{4\times 10^{-3}\times 290}{77.5}

v'=0.0149\ m/s

What is the value of acceleration due to gravity at the pole, equator and the centre of the earth
fgiga [73]

Answer:

In combination, the equatorial bulge and the effects of the surface centrifugal force due to rotation mean that sea-level gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles, so an object will weigh approximately 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.

Communicating results allows scientists to learn from each other's results.
sveta [45]

True, scientists often talk to each other to figure out if their results were similar and what they could have done better.

Although, talking to other scientists does have risks, other scientists could copy your work and further better it.

So, your final answer is TRUE, sorry for the long answer, I needed to have a word count about 20 characters and then I got carried away! lol

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, what is the direction of the force on the test charge?
svetlana [45]

Explanation:

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, it will exert the force in the test charge in the direction of electric field vector. We know that the direction of electric field is given by electric field lines. The field lines for a positive charge is outwards. The electric force acting on the charge is given by :

F = q E

Hence, this is the required solution.
