Answer:

The average recoil force on the gun during that 0.40 s burst is 45 N.

Explanation:

Mass of each bullet, m = 7.5 g = 0.0075 kg

Speed of the bullet, v = 300 m/s

Time, t = 0.4 s

The change in momentum of an object is equal to impulse delivered. So,

F\times t=mv\\\\F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

For 8 shot burst, average recoil force on the gun is :

F=\dfrac{8mv}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{7.5}{1000}\cdot\dfrac{300}{0.4}\cdot8\\\\F=45\ N

So, the average recoil force on the gun during that 0.40 s burst is 45 N.

What unit is used to measure the period of a wave?
mixer [17]

Answer:

D. Meters/Seconds

Explanation:

The time period of a wave is measured in seconds.

A typical wave involves both time and distance.  Consider a sound wave, which is basically a periodic modulation of the local air pressure.  We "hear" the sound because our ears respond to the variations of pressure.

The most common metric of a sound wave is frequency.  This is the rate at which the change in pressure occurs, and is measured in cycles per second, formally known as "hertz".  The period is the inverse of frequency andl has the units of seconds per cycle, commonly stated simply as seconds.

How long does it take for a 3.5 kW electric water heater to heat 40 kg of water? from 20 ° C to 75 ° C? The specific heat capaci
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

2633.7 s

Explanation:

From the question,

Heat lost by the water heater = Heat gained by the water

Applying,

P = cm(t₂-t₁)/t.................. Equation 1

Where P = power of the heat, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: c = 4190 J/kgK, P = 3.5 kW = 3500 W, m = 40 kg, t₁ = 20°C, t₂ = 75°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = 4190×40(75-20)/3500

t = 9218000/3500

t = 2633.7 s

Wats another word for DNA?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Explanation: Other Names for DNA

The threads of double helix DNA are called chromosomes, so you'll often see the two terms used interchangeably. These are also referred to as genes, genetic material or genetic code. DNA is also sometimes called nucleic acid, short for deoxyribonucleic acid.
