Answer:

V=-\dfrac{mv}{M}

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of rifle = M

Initial velocity ,u= 0

Mass of bullet = m

velocity of bullet =  v

Lets take final speed of the rifle is V

There is no any external force ,that is why linear momentum of the system will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final  linear momentum

 M x 0 + m x 0 = M x V + m v

0 =  M x V + m v

V=-\dfrac{mv}{M}

Negative sign indicates that ,the recoil velocity will be opposite to the direction of bullet velocity.

A proton moves perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field b with a speed of 3.7 × 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 5
svlad2 [7]
The magnetic force experienced by the proton is given by
F=qvB \sin \theta
where q is the proton charge, v its velocity, B the magnitude of the magnetic field and \theta the angle between the direction of v and B. Since the proton moves perpendicularly to the magnetic field, this angle is 90 degrees, so \sin \theta=1 and we can ignore it in the formula.

For Netwon's second law, the force is also equal to the proton mass times its acceleration:
F=ma

So we have
ma=qvB
from which we can find the magnitude of the field:
B= \frac{ma}{qv}= \frac{(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(5\cdot 10^{13}m/s^2)}{(1-6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(3.7 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}=0.014 T

An astronomer discovers a massive galaxy which has four nuclei. What is a likely explanation for a galaxy having more than one n
statuscvo [17]

The universe is made of a lot of galaxies. The likely explanation for a galaxy having more than one nucleus is that the galaxy must have swallowed several smaller galaxies that were its neighbors.

  • There are some reason behind the theory that the eating up of a galaxy is by another galaxy. The galaxy is said to have a  powerful past due to the fact  that a lot of smaller galaxies were eaten up.

The universe is known to have a very largest galaxy called the giant elliptical galaxy that is made up of about a trillion stars.

Does anyone know how to do this?​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Explanation:

By Hooke's Law,

F=kx

The only force acting here is weight, and x is the extension of the string (you need to convert this to mm) so

mg=kx

(0.15)(9.81)=k ((420-300)x10^-3)

Then just solve this equation.

A particle with charge 3.20×10−19 c is placed on the x axis in a region where the electric potential due to other charges increa
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-5 V

Explanation:

The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value

vb−va

is negative.

We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:

\Delta K+ \Delta U=0\\\Delta K + q\Delta V=0

where:

\Delta K=+1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

q=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C is the charge of the particle

\Delta V =V_b-V_a is the potential difference

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:

\Delta V=V_b-V_a = -\frac{\Delta K}{q}=-\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C}=-5 V

The volume of an object as a function of time is calculated by v = At3+B÷t where t is time measured in seconds and v is in cubic
madam [21]

Answer:

A = m³/s³ = [L]³/[T]³ = [L³T⁻³]

B = m³s = [L³T]

Explanation:

We have the equation:

V = At³ + B/t

where, the dimensions of each variable are as follows:

V = m³ = [L]³

t = s = [T]

substituting these in equation, we get:

m³ = A(s)³ + B/s

for the homogeneity of the equation:

A(s)³ = m³

<u>A = m³/s³ = [L]³/[T]³ = [L³T⁻³]</u>

Also,

B/s = m³

<u>B = m³s = [L³T]</u>
