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

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached
MissTica

Answer:

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.

Explanation:

  • When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
  • During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
  • In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
  • At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.

• ¿Qué rapidez tendrá un sonido de 150 Hz con una longitud de onda de 2 metros?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Speed = 300 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Frequency = 150 Hz

Wavelength = 2 meters

To find the speed of the wave;

Mathematically, the speed of a wave is given by the formula:

Speed = wavelength * frequency

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Speed = 2 * 150

Speed = 300 m/s

Describe the initial horizontal and vertical velocity of a horizontally launched projectile on Earth, as well as what happens to
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

To explain this, let's consider a tennis ball being launched from the top of a very high building.

Now, if the tennis ball is launched horizontally without any upward angle but with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. In this motion, If there is no gravity, the tennis ball would continue in motion at that same speed of 10 m/s in the horizontal direction. However, in reality, gravity causes the tennis ball to accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s for every second. This implies that the vertical velocity component is changing at the rate of 9.8 m/s every second.

Thus, after 1 second, horizontal velocity component will remain 10 m/s and vertical component will be 9.8 m/s × 1 = 9.8 m/s downwards.

Also, after 2 seconds, the vertical velocity component will remain 10 m/s, however the vertical component will now be 9.8 × 2 = 19.6 m/s downwards.

Same procedure is repeated as t increases by 1 second.
