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.

A baseball pitcher loosens up his pitching arm. He tosses a 0.20-kg ball using only the rotation of his forearm, 0.28 m in lengt
aev [14]

Answer:

Moment of Inertia, I = 0.016 kgm²

Explanation:

Mass of the ball, m = 0.20 kg

Length of the pitcher's arm, l = 0.28

Radius of the circular arc, r = 0.28 m

Moment of Inertia is given by the formula:

I = mr²

I = 0.20 * 0.28²

I = 0.20 * 0.0784

I = 0.01568

I = 0.016 kgm²

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha
katovenus [111]

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

  • When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.
  • While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.
  • And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these  conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.
