Answer: 1m/s

Explanation: according to the law of conservation of linear momentum in an isolated system, the momentum of the gun equals that of the bullet.

Mathematically

Mb×Vb = Mg×Vg

Where Mb = mass of bullet = 1/100 = 0.01 kg

Vb = velocity of bullet = 200 m/s

Mg = mass of gun = 2kg

Vg = recoil velocity of gun =?

0.01×200 = 2×Vg

Vg = 0.01×200/2

Vg = 0.01×100

Vg = 1m/s

A rocket weighs 9800N (opposing force) what is it mass? What netforce moves the rocket? What applied force gives it a vertical a
Slav-nsk [51]

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.

For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!

What climate factor is responsible for the snow on my Kilimanjaro
Nimfa-mama [501]
The climate factor that is responsible for the amount of snow on Mt. Kilimanjaro is high elevation. In the concept of precipitation, as an air mass rises and cools, its capacity to hold water vapor lessens. This vapor condenses into water droplets, forming clouds. Terrain with high elevation attracts such formations, bringing with them cloudiness, rainfall, and snowfall.

Three resistors of resistances, R1=10Ω, R2=5Ω, R3=20Ω are connected in a circuit in such way that same amount of current flows t
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer

Explanation:

As the three resistors are connected in series, the expression to be used for the  

calculation of RT equivalent resistance

is:  

RT = R1 + R2 + R3

We replace the data of the statement in the previous expression and it remains:  

5 10 15 RT + R1 + R2 + R3 + +

We perform the mathematical operations that lead us to the result we are looking for:  

RT - 30Ω
