In principle, when you fire a rifle, the recoil should push you backward. How big a push will it give? Let's find out by doing a

calculation in a very artificial situation. Suppose a man standing on frictionless ice fires a rifle horizontally. The mass of the man together with the rifle is 70 kg, and the mass of the bullet is 10 g.

Answer:

v= \frac{10\times10^{-3} V}{70} m/s

Explanation:

Assumption: bullet leaves the muzzle at a speed of V m/s

and velocity of push received by the man be v m/s

According to newton's third law to every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction.

therefore,

mass of man× velocity = mass of bullet×its velocity

⇒70×v= 10×10^-3 ×V

solving the above eqaution we get

therefore v= \frac{10\times10^{-3} V}{70} m/s

At 0°C, frozen water (ice) changes to liquid water. When an ice cube is placed on something that is warmer than it heat will mov
kondaur [170]

Answer:

a common temperature is reached.

Explanation:

The principle of heat transfer is that heat flows from a substance of higher temperature to that of lower temperature until when a common temperature is reached.

For ice on getting in contact with a hot body; it changes to water at 0°c utilising the latent heat of fusion. After ice has been converted to water at 0°c, water starts increasing in temperature till a common temperature is reached.

an object of mass 6000 kg rests on the flatbed of a truck. it is held in place by metal brackets that can exert a maximum horizo
Otrada [13]

Answer:

minimum stopping distance will be d = 75 m

Explanation:

Maximum force exerted by the bracket is given as

F = 9000 N

now we know that mass of the object is

m = 6000 kg

so the maximum acceleration that truck can have is given as

F = ma

9000 = 6000 a

a = 1.5 m/s^2

now for finding minimum stopping distance of the truck

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2a d

0^2 - 15^2 = 2(-1.5) d

d = 75 m

How many drops of water are in a 1.0 L bottle? (Hint: Start by estimating the diameter of a drop of water.)
o-na [289]

Answer:

N = 2000 drops approx with 1 cm diameter each

Explanation:

Let the diameter of one drop is 1 cm

so volume of one drop is given by

V = \frac{1}{6}\pi d^3

now we have

V = \frac{1}{6}\pi(0.01)^3

V = 0.53 \times 10^{-6} m^3

now in 1L of liquid let say N drops are there

so we have

1L = 10^{-3} m^3

now we have

N = \frac{10^{-3}}{0.53 \times 10^{-6}}

N = 2\times 10^3

so it will have approx 2000 drops in it with diameter 1 cm each drop

Your cell phone typically consumes about 390 mW of power when you text a friend. If the phone is operated using a lithium-ion ba
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

I = 0.11 A

Explanation:

  • In an electric circuit, the power delivered to a load, is just the product of the potential difference between the load terminals, times the current flowing through it, as follows:

       P = V*I

  • In this case, the power is the one consumed by the cell phone = 390 mW, and the voltage the one produced by the internal energy of the battery, 3.5 V, neglecting the voltage loss at the internal resistance of the battery.
  • So, we can solve the above equation for  the current I, as follows:

        I = \frac{P}{V} = \frac{0.39W}{3.5V}  = 0.11 A

  • The current flowing through the cell-phone circuitry is 0.11 A.
