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

I am sorry if it didn't helped

answers;

Calculate the buoyant force of a piece of cork of 8cm3 that floats in water. Density of cork is 207kg/m3. ?

I need the mass, in order to get the volume to apply t to the Buoyancy formula of: B=(W)object=(m)object(g)

Explanation:

From Archimedes Principle, any object partially or totally submerged in a fluid is buoyed upwards with a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

A 107 gram apple falls from a branch that is 2 meters above the ground. (a) How much time elapses before the apple hits the grou
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The time of motion is 0.64 s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the apple, m = 107 g

height of fall, h = 2 m

The velocity of the apple when it hits the ground is calculated from the law of conservation of energy;

P.E = K.E\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\gh = \frac{1}{2} v^2\\\\v^2 = 2gh\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2} \\\\v = 6.261 \ m / s

The time of motion is calculated;

v = u + gt

6.261 = 0 + 9.8t

6.261 = 9.8t

t = 6.261 / 9.8

t = 0.64 s

Therefore, the time of motion is 0.64 s
