What is the definition of recoil velocity?

2 answers:

Recoil is the speed with which the rifle or pistols recoils when the bullet is fired if the gun bullet and the fun mount were frictionless the equation bullet mass times bullet acceleration equals gun mass times gun recoil acceleration

When you jump, you push down on the earth and it pushes back up against you. The earth pushing up against you is what causes you

MissTica

That's a great question !

The answer is: It does !

A push on an object causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the force.

The less mass the object has, the more the force accelerates it.

Now, when you jump, the forces on you and on the Earth are equal forces.

The up force on you causes you to accelerate up by some amount.

The down force on the Earth causes the Earth to accelerate down by some amount.

The Earth's mass is something like 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg, while your mass is something like 50 kg.

The Earth has something like 119,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 times as much mass as you have.

So your acceleration is something like 119,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 times as great as the Earth's acceleration.

==> The Earth's downward acceleration, caused by your jump, is there. It's just too small to notice.

BUT . . . That's the reason why seismometers (instruments to detect and measure the vibrations from distant earthquakes) have to be located as far as possible from cities and busy roads.

In places that are too close to cities and roads, the Earth's surface is always vibrating, wiggling, jiggling, heaving and weaving, in reaction to the forces of people walking around, cars and trucks driving around, even rain falling down. And kids jumping up and down !

In such places, these people-motions are louder and stronger than the vibrations coming from distant earthquakes. Seismometers wouldn't work there.

URGENT!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PHYSICS PROBLEM

Levart [38]

Explanation:

Let

$x_1$ = distance traveled while accelerating

$x_2$ = distance traveled while decelerating

The distance traveled while accelerating is given by

$x_1 = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$\:\:\:\:\:= \frac{1}{2}(2.5\:\text{m/s}^2)(30\:\text{s})^2$

$\:\:\:\:\:= 1125\:\text{m}$

We need the velocity of the rocket after 30 seconds and we can calculate it as follows:

$v = at = (2.5\:\text{m/s}^2)(30\:\text{s}) = 75\:\text{m/s}$

This will be the initial velocity when start calculating for the distance it traveled while decelerating.

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2ax_2$

$0 = (75\:\text{m/s})^2 + 2(-0.65\:\text{m/s}^2)x_2$

Solving for $x_2,$ we get

$x_2 = \dfrac{(75\:\text{m/s})^2}{2(0.65\:\text{m/s}^2)}$

$\:\:\:\:\:= 4327\:\text{m}$

Therefore, the total distance x is

$x = x_1 + x_2 = 1125\:\text{m} + 4327\:\text{m}$

$\:\:\:\:= 5452\:\text{m}$

While finding the spring constant, if X1 = 12 cm, X2 = 15 cm, and hanging mass = 22 grams, the value of spring constant K would

Pavel [41]

Answer:

If x₁=12 cm then k=1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm then k=1.4388 N/m

Explanation:

Hanging mass= 22 g=0.022 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s²

If x₁=displacement= 12 cm=0.12 m

k= spring constant

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=0.022\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=0.21582\ N$

$\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.012\\\Rightarrow k=1.7985\ N/m\\$

∴k = 1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm=0.15 m

Force of the hanging mass is same however the spring constant will change

$\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.015\\\Rightarrow k=1.4388\ N/m\\$

∴k = 1.4388 N/m

As the mass is not changing the spring constant has to change. That means that here there are two spring one with k=1.7985 N/m and the other with k= 1.4388 N/m
