Answer:

2.1844 m/s

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of momentum can be applied here.

when two objects interact, the total momentum remains the same  provided no external forces are acting.

Consider the whole system , gun and bullet. as an isolated system, so the net momentum is constant. In particular before firing the gun, the net momentum is zero. The conservation of momentum,

0=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}  + m_{rifle}*v_{rifle}  \\

assume the bullet goes to right side and the gravitational acceleration =10 ms^{-2}

so now the weight of the rifle=\frac{25}{10}  

0=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}  + m_{rifle}*v_{rifle}  \\\\0=(12.70*10^{-3}) *430ms^{-1} +(\frac{25}{10} )*v_{rifle} \\v_{rifle} =-2.1844ms^{-1}

this is a negative velocity to the right side. that means the rifle recoils to the left side

The Mercury's mass for the given acceleration due to gravity is 0.3152 x 10²⁴ kg.

The ratio of the calculated and accepted value of the Mercury's mass is 0.95.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is the amount of matter present in the object.

The mass of the object is always constant, anywhere it is on the Earth or Moon or any other planet.

Given is the acceleration due to gravity of Mercury planet at North pole is g = 3.698 m/s² and the radius of Mercury planet is 2440 km.

The acceleration due to gravity is related with mass as

g = GM/R²

Substitute the values, we have

3.698 = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M/(2440 x1000)³

M = 2.2016 x 10¹³ /  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

M = 0.3152 x 10²⁴ kg

Thus, the mercury's mass is  0.3152 x 10²⁴ kg.

(b) Accepted value of Mercury's mass is 3.301 x 10²³ kg

Ratio of the value of mass calculated and accepted is

Mcalc/M accep =  0.3152 x 10²⁴ kg / 3.301 x 10²³ kg

                          = 0.95

Thus, the ratio is 0.95

Problem 13.175 A 1-kg block B is moving with a velocity v0 of magnitude as it hits the 0.5-kg sphere A, which is at rest and han
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Explanation:

Mass of the Block, Mb = 1.0 kg Initial Velocity of Block, Vb = 2.0 m/s

Mass of the Ball, Ma = 0.5 kg Coefficient of Kinetic Friction, μ = 0.6

Coefficient of Restitution, e = 0.8 Gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

Sum of the forces of the X-axis components and Y-axis components are:

∑ Fx = Ff = Mb × a

Equation for frictional force,

Ff = μ × N

∑ Fy = N - mb × g = 0

Note:

N = mb × g

Therefore, to solve for the acceleration, we have:

μ × Mb × g = Mb × a

a = μ × g

= 0.6 × 9.81

= 5.88 m/s^2

Therefore, ratio of velocities using the coefficient of restitution, e:

e = (Vb2 – Va1)/ (Va – Vb)

Note: Va = zero (initially at rest)

Va2 – Vb2 = 0.8 × ( 0 - 2 m/s)

Vb2 – Va2 = -1.6 m/s

Vb2 = a2 – 1.6

Using Conservation of Momentum Equation:

Ma × Va + Mb × Vb = Ma × Va2 + Mb × Vb2

0 + 1kg × 2 m/s = 0.5 kg × Va2 + 1 kg × Vb2

Vb2 = 2 - 0.5 × Va2

Substitute in Vb2,

1.5 × Va2 = 3.6

Va2 = 2.4 m/s

Vbs = 0.8 m/s

.

mgh = 0.5 × Mv2

h = v2/ 2g

h = 0.294 m

B.

Using equation of motion,

Vf^2 = Vo^2 + 2a × S

Given:

Vf = 0 m/s

a = 5.88 m/s^2

0 = 0.82 + 2(5.88) × ΔS

Δx = 0.0544 m
