Answer:

-35 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

Momentum before firing = momentum after firing

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

Before the bullet is fired, the bullet and rifle have no velocity, so u₁ and u₂ are 0.

0 = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

Given m₁ = 0.7 kg, v₁ = 350 m/s, and m₂ = 7 kg:

0 = (0.7 kg) (350 m/s) + (7 kg) v

v = -35 m/s

The rifle recoils at 35 m/s in the opposite direction.

What best describes the relationship between the frequency of an oscillation and the period of the oscillation?
ZanzabumX [31]

Explanation:

Let f is the frequency of an oscillation and T is the period of the oscillation. There exists an inverse relationship between the frequency and the time period of the oscillation. Mathematically, it is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{T}

Also, f=\dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}

So,

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}

The time taken to complete one oscillation is called the period of the oscillation and the number of oscillation is called the frequency if an oscillation.

Describe Kinetic Energy.​
mina [271]
In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.
