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.

Acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

                       =      (49 m/s)   /   (5 seconds)

                       =       (49 / 5)  m/s  /  s

                       =            9.8 m/s²

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s2. A sling shot fires a rock straight up into the air with a speed of +39.2 m/s. 1. what
Vanyuwa [196]

Given that,

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 39.2 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

To find,

The final velocity of the shot.

Solution,

Let v is the final velocity of sling shot. Using first equation of motion to find it.

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u-gt

v = (39.2)-(9.8)(2)

v = 19.6 m/s

So, its velocity after 2 seconds is 19.6 m/s.
